General information

H^EV^EA is a quite complete and fast L^AT_EX to HTML translator. H^EV^EA is written in Objective Caml.

H^EV^EA now renders symbols by using the so-called HTML “entites”. Modern browsers display those entities correctly most of the time. By contrast, previous versions of H^EV^EA were using a special (symbol) font and some configuration step of browser was needed. This configuration step is no longer needed.

The source distribution (see below) should compile on any Unix platform where Objective Caml version 3.07 or later is installed.
