+ HEVEA is a LaTeX to HTML translator. The input language is a fairly
+ complete subset of LaTeX2e (old LaTeX style is also accepted) and the
+ output language is HTML that is (hopefully) correct with respect to
+ version 4.0 (transitional)
+
+ Exotic symbols are translated into symbols pertaining to the
+ symbol font of the HTML browser, using the FACE attribute of the FONT
+ tag. This allows the translation to HTML of quite a lot of the symbols
+ used in LaTeX.
+
+ HEVEA understands LaTeX macro definitions. Simple user style
+ files are understood with little or no modifications.
+ Furthermore, HEVEA customization is done by writing LaTeX code.
+
+ HEVEA is written in Objective Caml, as many lexers. It is quite fast
+ and flexible. Using HEVEA it is possible to translate large documents
+ such as manuals, books, etc. very quickly. All documents are
+ translated as one single HTML file. Then, the output file can be cut
+ into smaller files, using the companion program HACHA.
