Documents Live, a web authoring and publishing system

If you see this, something is wrong

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.

Publications

The blue button below that says "table of contents" is your tool to navigate in a publication.

The left arrow brings you to the previous document in the publication, and the right one brings you to the next. Both cycle over the publication list.

The middle button that says "table of contents" reveals the publication table of contents. This table is hierarchical structured. It has sections, and sections can be collapsed or expanded. If you are a registered user, you can save the layout of the table of contents.

Font Awesome

François Chaplais LaTeX2Web

Font awesome is a web resource that provides icons that can be used in a web page.

1 The Font Awesome web site

Before embedding a Font Awesome icon in your document, you must know which icon to use. To view the available icons, got to the Font Awesome website. LaTeX2Web supports icons up to version 6.

2 Icon syntax

The HTML code for the icon is the following:

<i class="fa-duotone fa-solid fa-browser"></i>

It has three parameters.

  • browser is the icon name.
  • solid is the icon style
  • duotone is the style family

3 LaTeX2Web syntax

The syntax for creating a Font Font Awesome icon is

\fa{name}[icon style][style family]

which correspond to the parameters described in the previous section.

The default value for icon style is solid. \fa{browser} yields . There are four possible values for the icon style parameter.

  • solid yields
  • regular yields
  • light yields
  • thin yields

The second optional parameter style family holds only if the icon style is provided. Its default value is classic. There are four possible values for the style family parameter. In the examples below, we use the solid icon style.

  • classic yields
  • duotone yields
  • sharp yields
  • sharp-duotone yields

4 Font awesome icons in lists

You can use Font Awesome icons to start your list items. Here is an example with the code below. In lists, the regular icon style is applied.

  • a check mark (checked)
  • a check mark (un-checked)
  • a Jedi icon

Here is the code.

\begin{itemize}
\item[fa-square-check] a check mark (checked)
\item[fa-square] a check mark (un-checked)
\item[fa-jedi] a Jedi icon
\end{itemize}

We use the fa prefix to indicate to LaTeX2Web that we wish to use a font awesome icon instead of generic text.

Final note: LaTeX2Web does NOT support the fontawesome package because its syntax is limited to a set of pre-defined icons and is very complicated to use.
