It is apparent from looking at html.sty that various latex2html commands are implemented differently, depending on whether pdf-TeX is in use or not. Yet I see no mention of pdf-TeX in any of the latex2html documentation.
AFAIK, latex2html doesn't use the implementations in html.sty at all, it uses the implementations (in Perl) in html.perl. i think html.sty has 1 implementation of these commands for generating PDF, which can include hyperlinks, and another for generating anything else, which can't.
html.sty is also needed to LaTeX files intended for latex2html, in order to get a DVI. Note that files may fulfill two needs:
a) standard latexing for printouts (and testing)
b) producing HTML using latex2html.
It would be nice if some of my internal and external hyperlinks could make it into my final pdf document. (Pdf is a preferable to postscript as the final form of the written document, since it more universally readable.) Has this already been implemented?
you can get hyperlinks in PDF by running .tex --(pdflatex)--> .pdf where the same latex source can also be converted to HTML with .tex --(latex2html)--> .html OTOH, if you will loose the hyperlinks if run .tex --(latex)--> .dvi --(dvips)--> .ps --(ps2pdf)--> .pdf which i believe is because DVI and PostScript (unlike PDF) don't have any concept of hyperlinks - but ICBW because i don't know much about this stuff.
To what extent are latex2html and pdf-TeX compatible?
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).
