Andre,

Thanks for your reply. It finally occurred to me to look at the html
source produced by latex2html (view source while displayed by browser)
The header info contained a reference to a stylesheet. This turned out
to be an external file with an extension of .css (cascading style
sheets) that was generated by latex2html. I hunted around on the net and
found specs for css files. Was able to solve the problem!

For indented paragraphs with no line skips in html display generated by
latex2html:

P {text-indent: 2em}
P {margin-top: 0em}

add the above 2 commands to the filename.css file created automatically
by latex2html

Probably there is some style or other that would cause this to happen,
but I can't find it or figure out how latex2html references it. How
pdflatex figures it out is a mystery. tth blows up on me, so it may work
fine; I don't know.

My novel goes up tomorrow, worldwide (love the net), at:

latex paragraph export

1999-12-06 Thread John Wetterau

Lyx 1.1.3 is producing great PS output with indented paragraphs and no
line skip between them. Pdflatex produces the same output in PDF format
(indented paragraphs with no line skip). 
Latex2html, however, takes the same .tex file that was used by pdflatex
and produces html code with no paragraph indents and with a line skip
between each paragraph.
Have been through the latex2html docs and mail list archives and can
find no switch or way to control this. The .tex file also has no indents
and line skips, so latex2html seems to be converting it exactly. Yet
pdflatex takes the same input and produces indented PDF code. How does
it know to do this, while latex2html doesn't? 
Any ideas? There must be a simple answer, but after a day of screwing
around I've been unable to find it.
Thanks,

Well, HTML does not know anything about displaying by itself. It just
says 'start a new paragraph'. How this shows up on your display depends
on your browser. So it's actually neither a LyX nor a HTML 'problem'.

There are \parskip and \parindent macros, probably defined in the .cls
you use. Over here e.g. the defaults \parskip ~ 1ex and \parindent = 0 are
quite common, and that's what you get when you use 'german'. (In LyX you
can switch between the two by Layout-Document-Separation-Skip/Indent,
but that's of no help for you, since you have already chosen 'Indent'...)

 Any ideas? There must be a simple answer, but after a day of screwing
 around I've been unable to find it.

If you really, really need to 'fix' your html, you could try to add
indentation by protected spaces (try to replace every p by 
pnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;  - but that's an awful hack.
