Nice trick, that :-)  Now there's an enhancement for Ghostscript!

I use the NCSA html-mode.el (standard with Mule, now, I believe, with
a couple of additions, I have an AUC-TeX-like document skeleton
function) for HTML.  I find it really hard to type <> entities that
aren't predefined because < and > are bound to &lt; and &gt;
respectively.  :-) For LaTeX, I cannot live without AUC-TeX (available
by FTP from iesd.auc.dk, I think).  Cuts out about 90% of backslash
entry.

I don't know about linuxdoc-sgml, but I've been using LaTeX2HTML for a 
few days (!) now and can only give it a qualified recommendation.  It
doesn't know about a lot of LaTeX stuff that I use (it completely
boots the pooch on SLITeX, and doesn't recognize \par, of all
things).  I also find it encourages poor document structuring for the
hypertext versions.

I'll have to look at this.
