Basically, it should do all that any of the tools below and in
addition,
1/
human readable output that maintains the text lines of the source, ie
does not scramble the text lines or insert newlines unnecessarily or
removes them. inserts minimal latex elements.
2/
maintains cross-links, ie convert <href to \ref and <name= to \label
but if the set of htmls is incomplete proceed with the assumption that
the reference is there, ie dont delete the links or try to modify them
or their addresses. One of the tool I tested is too smart in this
respect and actually ruins the result.
3/
proper conversion of images, tables, etc. No math mode involved in
html.
4/
Even an emacs lisp function could be written by a guru that can do the
job.
5/
Is there any commercial wysiwig tool ?
LaTeX etc
* html2latex is a program based on the NCSA html parser. Contact: Na************* **@vuw.ac.nz.
* Another html2latex can combine several HTML files into a single
LaTeX file, converting links between the files to references. External
URL's can be converted into footnotes or into a bibliography sorted on
URL. Contact: F.*******@cs.ut wente.nl (Frans J. Faase)
* Another html2latex implemented on Linux by yacc+lex+C. Also
available from the TSX-11 Linux FTP site as nc-html2latex-0.97.tar.gz.
Contact: na*****@naochan .com (Naoya Tozuka)
* htmlatex.pl is a perl script to do the conversion (may be moving
soon). Contact: n9******@cc.wwu .edu (Jake Kesinger)
* There is also a sed script to convert HTML into LaTeX. 5  2040 
I like PlasTeX.SF.Net

You've already asked this, and been given the answer, but in case you
didn't see it...
XSLT.
Run your HTML through Tidy to produce XHTML.
Then write an XSLT script to transform it to LaTeX.
This gives you 100% control and ensures robustness.
However, handling all the stupid things HTML authors do may make it
long-winded if you want to cope with them all. On the other hand, if
you are dealing with a reasonably consistent subset, it's probably the
most reliable method.

Is XSLT way easier than using a decent scripting language with a SAX
library?

Yes. XSLT *is* a decent scripting (well, transformation-to-other-formats)
language.

I maintain various specs and FAQs in manually edited HTML documents,
and I'd very much like some simple way of automatic section numbering
as in 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.2 etc, with table of contents generation
plugged into the start of the document so that each section can be
accessed via a link (and also maybe automatic footnote numbering).
It doesn't seem too much to ask, and I could probably whump up a
script myself in a couple of days....

But there's a disturbing lack of *built-in* docs for Ruby.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
