Well, thanks to all who answered, but I want to point some things. First, I think I'll go and learn SGML Docbook. I'm very familiar with HTML, tought. I don't think it will be very difficult. As you say, latex2html provides a good output, but ugly... What I want is to be able to customize that output as much as I want, to make a more beautiful HTML document. Also, I want my LaTeX output to be customizable too, so I can setup headers and the like. What I mainly need to write is a long school "work/report". Apart from containing lots of text, I want to include images in a flexible way, and to be able to define chapters, sections and the like. This is what I need. I hope Docbook will be enough, isn't it?
