LATEX2SLIDES

NAME

latex2slides - a tool to create a slide presentation from a LaTeX source  

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

latex2slides is a simple graphical program that produces a set of HTML/JPEG slides from a LaTeX (or TeX) source FILE. The program first produces a multipage postscript, using latex (or tex ) and dvips. Each postscript page is converted to a JPEG image using ImageMagick's convert. The program then makes one HTML page for each JPEG (or slide), and an index.html page. As a result, each slide in your slide presentation corresponds to one of the postscript pages you would obtain running latex on the LaTeX source. Alternatively, the source can be a multipage postscript, DVI or PDF FILE, and the image format for the slides can be set to PNG.
