If you want to make a converter which parses the HTML properly,
you could take the line mode client version 2.0, and
in the library just hack the HTML regeneration module
HTMLGen.{c,h} to produce TeX instead of HTML. The module
is driven by a stream of text and element stop/start by
element number, so it is just a set of tables of strings.
If you are interested in our mapping, ask Arthur Secret
<secret@dxcern.cern.ch> to mail you our latest sed files.
We in fact made one new latex macro for the paper docs
we push out, in order to do a better job of DL lists.
The basic sed files for making article style latex are
on the web ... look under "tools for information providers".

Does anyone have filters that will convert HTML to TeX? Or TROFF? Or
PostScript? or anything...
