Here's a sample LaTeX document where I'm experimenting with newenvironment
, a definition list, and tables (the tabular environment. I don't have the output with me at the moment, but I think all of these worked correctly when using pdflatex (LaTeX PDF) and latex2html (LaTeX HTML).
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \author{Al Alexander} \title{} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents % DESCRIPTION TEST %\newcommand{\entrylabel}[1]{\mbox{\textsf{#1:}}\hfil} %\newenvironment{entry} % {\begin{list}{}% % {\renewcommand{\makelabel}{\entrylabel}% % \setlength{\labelwidth}{35pt}% % \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth+\labelsep}% % }% % }% % {\end{list}} \newenvironment{deflist}[1][\quad]% {\begin{list}{}{% \renewcommand{\makelabel}[1]{\textbf{##1}\hfil}% \settowidth{\labelwidth}{\textbf{#1}}% \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth+\labelsep}}} {\end{list}} \begin{deflist} \item[Java]\mbox{}\\A great language for enterprise applications. \item[Perl]\mbox{}\\A great language for CGI programs and text processing. \item[C++]\mbox{}\\A difficult but fun language. \end{deflist} % TABLE TEST % WANT TO SEE HOW THIS CONVERTS TO HTML \begin{tabular}{|l|c|r|} \hline LANGUAGE & DESCRIPTION & SOMETHING\\ \hline JAVA & A great language for enterprise applications. & R2C3\\ \hline PERL & A great language for CGI programs and text processing. & R3C3\\ \hline C++ & A difficult language. & R4C3\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}
