All LATEX 2є declarations and environments for changing type style are recognized. Aspect is rather like LATEX 2є output, but there is no guarantee.
As HTML does not provide the same variety of type styles as
LATEX, some type style get rendered by using colors. For instance,
the slanted shape yields maroon italics.
Hence, the following source
“{\slshape slanted shape} {\scshape small caps shape}
” yields:
“slanted shape small caps shape”
Here is how HEVEA implements text-style declarations by default:

Text-style commands also exists, they are defined as
\mbox{\
decl…}
. For instance,
\texttt
is defined as a command with one argument whose body is
\mbox{\ttfamily#1}
.
Finally, the \emph
command for emphasized text also exists.
As in LATEX, type styles consists in three components: shape, series and family. However this distinction does not exist in HTML: one specifies a type style and that's all. HEVEA implements the three components by making one declaration to cancel the effect of other declarations of the same kind. For instance consider the following source, that exhibits shape changes:
{\itshape italic shape \slshape slanted shape \scshape small caps shape \upshape upright shape}
Then, in the rendering below, “small caps shape” apears in small caps shape only and not in italics:
italic shape slanted shape small caps shape upright shape
Old style declarations are also recognized, they translate to
text-level elements. However, no elements are canceled when using
old style declaration. Thus, the source
“{\sl\sc slanted and small caps}
” yields maroon “slanted” small caps
: “slanted and small caps”.
Users need probably not worry about this. However this has an
important practical consequence: to change the default rendering of
type styles, one should redefine old style declaration in order to
benefit from the cancelation mechanism. See
section 10.2 for a more thorough description.
All declarations, from \tiny
to \Huge
are recognized.
Output is not satisfactory inside headers elements
generated by sectioning commands.
The \symbol{
num}
outputs character number num
from the iso-latin1 character set.
This departs from LATEX, which output symbol number num in
the current font.
