I hadn't realised I was behind the times and must do something about  
that.

Right – I haven't set eyes on this yet and will bury my nose in it  
before asking any more questions.

It might be of interest to others on this list to know what I am  
trying to do. A friend of mine runs an extensive web-site which  
supports his (UK) 'A-level' mathematics teaching activity. The  
project under consideration is to rewrite this material in LaTeX and  
generate an HTML version from that. At the moment the prime source is  
the body of HTML files from which a 'printable' PDF Ebook version is  
derived. That process is both laborious and barely satisfactory – the  
cart is before the horse so to speak. Any comments or suggestions  
from time to time that might have a bearing on such a project would  
be most welcome.
