Some background

Star2HTML comprises two Perl scripts and a set of templates.

The star2html command invokes one of the Perl scripts which calls the L^ATEX2HTML utility to do the actual conversion to hypertext format. L^ATEX2HTML is described in its own manual. However, you shouldn't need to refer to it unless you have specialised needs. Always use the star2html command rather than the latex2html command to convert Starlink documents to hypertext.

The templates have two functions:

• Provide L^ATEX definitions for standard styles of Starlink document.
• Add extra L^ATEX commands to the basic repertoire provided by L^ATEX2HTML. These are used to link Starlink documents together.

The templates are based on L^ATEX2_e and all documents should now be produced using this.

The second Perl script, xlabel, is a utility to help in labelling sections of the hypertext document so that other documents can link to them. Its use is described in ``Labelling sections'' .
