Message-ID: <329c3771.11475260@mailhost.primenet.com> (raw)

I've picked some of the linux documentation and finding that much of
it is in latex, I thought I'd try some of these filters to get it into
something more readable than those God-awful latex commands.  I like
both the emacs info mormat and html will certainly do.  Well,
latexinfo for emacs gives me errors when I try running (version 1.70),
latex2html looks promising, but it requires latex and some other
utilities.  At this point, I don't see an easy way to install latex
without taking up over 30 megs of precious diskspace on my little
linux system.  So that leves me to ask on the list to see what others
might have done to make these documents more readable.  I suppose
ascii will do, but I rather like the hyper text format due to the
reference nature of these manuals.

Any ideas?
Thanks
