For a quick look,
latex2html -no_navigation -split 0 -link 0 -no_subdir -address "" foo.tex
gives in foo.html an idea of the result (behavior still depending upon the defaults
settings
in the files .latex2html-init of the local dir and .latex2html-init and
latex2html.config
of the package dir).
For a more thorough translation of complicated documents (a PHD thesis for
example), customizing a local copy of the .latex2html-init
file is compulsory to get a publishable result, with a deeply segmented document
adapted to page loading delay, navigation buttons, page footer indications, and so on..
The .sty files coming with it allow to include raw html in the latex source
and dedicated macros related to electronic publishing
(good for URLs which become hyperlinks), and for example thumbnail versions
of images. Some prefiltering may be needed there.
A major drawback is that the size of inline equations (which are gifs) must be
tuned to the size of the font, so that the reader might be forced to change his(her)
preferences.
I used it to build up a html local version of the LyX doc.
The result suffers a bit from the fact that numerous LyX
constructs aim to demonstrate in the LyX window: this is not easy to translate
automatically. The goal of the translation was to have a deeply paginated version of
the
doc for indexing and retrieval of atoms of information.
Hope that helps.
