			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I keep my resume updated in <a title="LaTeX" href="http://www.latex-project.org/">Latex</a> format, and use <a title="Latex2Html homepage" href="http://www.latex2html.org/">Latex2Html</a> to convert it to HTML. I find the following parameters, plus a small amount of manual tweaking give me the output which is most similar to Latex&#8217;s DVI or PDF output:</p>
<blockquote><p>latex2html -split 0 -nonavigation -title &#8220;Nikhil Bobb&#8217;s Resume&#8221; -noinfo resume.tex</p></blockquote>
<p>By no means are these parameters only useful for resumes, they work just as well on other kinds of documents.</p>
<p><strong>So what do the parameters do?</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-3"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>-split 0: Tells latex2html not to split the document into separate HTML docs based on Latex divisions such as the section.</li>
<li>-nonavigation: Since we are not splitting the document their is no need for a navigation interface</li>
<li>-title: Gives an HTML title to the document</li>
<li>-noinfo: Prevents latex2html from appending an about this document footer with details of the conversion process and latex2html.</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally I custom tweaked the CSS file to give me nice margins. To do that I add the following to the document specific styles section:</p>
<blockquote><p>body {</p>
<blockquote><p>margin-top: 10%;<br />
margin-right: 10%;<br />
margin-bottom: 10%;<br />
margin-left: 10%;<br />
}</p></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>The result is very similar to the output PDF, take <a title="Nikhil Bobb's Resume" href="http://cs.ucsc.edu/~nikhil/resume.html">a look</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Getting Fancy</strong></p>
<p>I manually edited the HTML to add a link to my homepage at the bottom of my resume. But I could have potentially also used the -address parameter to do the same.</p>
