About:
Hevea is a high-performance LaTeX-to-HTML translator that converts LaTeX documents into clean, modern HTML5. Unlike many converters, it primarily processes the .aux and .log files generated by a LaTeX run, allowing it to handle complex documents and math with remarkable speed and accuracy. This approach results in compact and portable HTML output suitable for web publishing.

Key Features:

Fast translation by leveraging LaTeX auxiliary files
Generates clean, semantic HTML5 output
Excellent support for mathematical formulas
Produces standalone HTML files with minimal dependencies
Configurable via Lua scripts for custom processing

Use Cases:

Publishing academic papers and technical documentation on the web
Converting lecture notes and course materials to accessible HTML
Generating lightweight, fast-loading versions of LaTeX documents

Alternatives:

LaTeXML – More focused on full fidelity and semantic web publishing, often slower and more complex to configure.
Pandoc – A universal document converter that supports many formats; its LaTeX support is broader but may not handle complex math as robustly as Hevea.
