1st L^ATEX2HTML Workshop
Darmstadt, 15 February 1997

Thanks again to Jens Lippmann and members of the LiPS Design Team for organising this meeting; also to the Fachbereich Informatik at Darmstadt for use of their facilities.

This was an opportunity for many of the current L^ATEX2HTML developers to actually meet for the first time; rather than communication by exchange of electronic mail messages.

• Nikos Drakos talked about the early development of L^ATEX2HTML, while...
• ... Ross Moore, Jens Lippmann and Marek Rouchal described recent improvements.
• Michel Goossens presented a list of difficulties encountered with earlier versions of L^ATEX2HTML, and aspects requiring improvement. Almost all of these now have been addressed in the V97.1 release, so far as is possible within the bounds inherent in the HTML 3.2 standard.
• Kristoffer Rose showed how it is possible to create GIF89 animations from pictures generated by TEX or L^ATEX, using the Xy-pic graphics package and extensions, developed by himself and Ross Moore.

Also present were representatives from the DANTE e.V. Praesidium and members of the development team.
In all it was a very pleasant and constructive meeting.
