On using HEVEA, a fast LTEX to html translator

Most users who discover a LTEX to html translator such as HEVEA have the following expectation : getting a html-version of some document doc.tex, should be as simple as typing “hevea doc.tex”, provided “latex doc.tex” already works. And indeed, much of the work invested in the development of HEVEA aim at fulfilling this expectation. For instance, the design of HEVEA is much inspired by the design of LTEX and, more anecdotally, the hevea command acts much like the latex as regards file searching or the usage of auxiliary files.
