Collapse and expand sections
To get acquainted with the document, the best thing to do is to select the "Collapse all sections" item from the "View" menu. This will leave visible only the titles of the top-level sections.
Clicking on a section title toggles the visibility of the section content. If you have collapsed all of the sections, this will let you discover the document progressively, from the top-level sections to the lower-level ones.
Cross-references and related material
Generally speaking, anything that is blue is clickable.
Clicking on a reference link (like an equation number, for instance) will display the reference as close as possible, without breaking the layout. Clicking on the displayed content or on the reference link hides the content. This is recursive: if the content includes a reference, clicking on it will have the same effect. These "links" are not necessarily numbers, as it is possible in LaTeX2Web to use full text for a reference.
Clicking on a bibliographical reference (i.e., a number within brackets) will display the reference.
Speech bubbles indicate a footnote. Click on the bubble to reveal the footnote (there is no page in a web document, so footnotes are placed inside the text flow). Acronyms work the same way as footnotes, except that you have the acronym instead of the speech bubble.
Discussions
By default, discussions are open in a document. Click on the discussion button below to reveal the discussion thread. However, you must be registered to participate in the discussion.
If a thread has been initialized, you can reply to it. Any modification to any comment, or a reply to it, in the discussion is signified by email to the owner of the document and to the author of the comment.

1 The LaTeX2Web help
This is a LaTeX2Web publication that centralize the help regarding the use of LaTeX2Web.
It evolves together with LaTeX2Web itself.
To navigate in the help, click on the Publication content blue button, and you will see the outline of the documentation.
This navigation button is here on all help pages.
2 The help sections
The help informally consists in two parts;
- LaTeX related help
- LaTeX2Web specific information
The LaTeX related help has two parts.
- A section that follows the outline of the Reference Manual in the Leslie Lamport book. It details the implementation of LaTeX in LaTeX2Web.
- A section about LaTeX2Web supported packages and classes.
The LaTeX2Web specific help has to parts.
- A part about document browsing (the smallest one).
- Help on various aspects of the LaTeX2Web publishing process.
The help on the LaTeX2Web workflow outlines the various stages of the publishing process.
The help sections on the source code editor and the Inline Editor detail how you can edit your document within LaTeX2Web. The Inline Editor uses the unique structure of the document model to provide a visual and interactive editing experience, right inside the web page of your document.
