Yes, I understand this. It's not something that I consider at all important, which perhaps represents our different view points. Readers have different preferences. I prefer reading in inverse video; I like to be able to change font size to zoom in and out. I quite like fixed width fonts. Other people like the two column thing. Other people want things read to them. Who cares what the authors intend? I mean, they are not reading the paper, are they? > I do write papers with considerable math in them, so my experience may > not be typical, but whenever I have tried to produce HTML versions of > my papers, I have ended up quite frustrated because even I cannot get > them to display the way I want them to. I've been using mathjax on my website for a long time and it seems to work well, although I am not maths heavy. > It may be that there are now good tools for producing HTML that carries the > intent of the author. htlatex has been mentioned in this thread.

It's more to make htlatex work as well as lncs.sty works. htlatex produces reasonable, if dull, HTML of the bat. Phil
