Credits, 1993-1994


Several people have contributed suggestions, ideas, solutions, support and encouragement. Some of these are 130 Roderick Williams, 128 Ana Maria Paiva, 132 Jamil Sawar and 126 Andrew Cole at the 104 Computer Based Learning Unit105 http://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/~www/home.html.

* 107 CERN
The idea of splitting LATEX files into more than one component, connected via hyperlinks, was first implemented in Perl by Toni Lantunen at CERN. Thanks to Robert Cailliau <cailliau@cernnext.cern.ch> of the World-Wide Web Project, also at CERN, for providing access to the source code and documentation (although no part of the original design or the actual code has been used).

* Robert S. Thau
<rst@edu.mit.ai> has contributed the new version of texexpand. Also, in order to translate the ``document from hell'' (!!!) he has extended the translator to handle \def commands, nested math-mode commands, and has fixed several bugs.

* Phillip Conrad and L. Peter Deutsch.
The pstogif Perl script uses the pstoppm.ps PostScript program, originally written by Phillip Conrad (Perfect Byte, Inc.) and modified by L. Peter Deutsch (Aladdin Enterprises).

* Roderick Williams
The idea of using existing symbolic labels to provide cross-references between documents was first conceived during discussions with 130 Roderick Williams <rodw@cbl.leeds.ac.uk>.

* Eric Carroll
<eric@ca.utoronto.utcc.enfm>, who first suggested providing a command like \hyperref.

* Franz Vojik
<vojik@de.tu-muenchen.informatik> provided the basic mechanism for handling foreign accents.

* Todd Little
The -auto_navigation option was based on an idea by Todd <little@com.dec.enet.nuts2u>.

* Axel Belinfante
<Axel.Belinfante@cs.utwente.nl> provided the Perl code in the makeidx.perl file, as well as numerous suggestions and bug-reports.

* Verena Umar
<verena@edu.vanderbilt.cas.compsci> (101 Computer Science Education Project102 http://csep1.phy.ornl.gov/csep.html) has been a very patient tester of some early versions of LATEX2HTML and many of the current features are a result of her suggestions.

204

* Ian Foster and Bob Olson.
Thanks to Ian Foster <itf@mcs.anl.gov> and Bob Olson <olson@mcs.anl.gov> at the Argonne National Labs, for setting up the LATEX2HTML mailing list37 http://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/nikos/tex2html/doc/mail/mail.html.
