as above, you can use both of them with the same source file.
Would I be able to insert my figures into my final pdf file if I used pdf-TeX in conjunction with latex2html?
i don't know if you can do that (or if you really want to).
Depending on what you mean, you can and should want to! :>
Ideally, you'd use the graphicx (or graphics) package, and
include all your figures with \includegraphics[...]{filename}
If you give the filename _without_ the extension, the driver
will hunt for an image of the most appropriate type.
By default, the graphicx packages under latex will assume that dvips will be the driver, so they will search for .ps or .eps
When run under pdflatex, I believe it detects(*) that and searches for .png and .jpeg (I believe that's what pdftex will accept)
Under latex2html, the implementation graphicx.perl will look for web-appropriate image types; .gif, .jpg, .png.
So, generally, you get the `right thing' and you can do the image conversions yourself with the eventual target in mind (**)
Hope that helps... Bruce
(*) at worst, you'd have to do something like \usepackage[pdf]{graphicx} ??
(**) You can also use some tricky commands in graphicx to automatically
do conversions between file types, but that's beyond the scope here._______________________________________________ latex2html mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/latex2html
