Preparing a Document for Viewing on the Web

To present a document on the web using IDVI:

Prepare a dvi file as usual using TeX, LaTeX, or any other TeX package:
```
cd paperdir
latex paper
latex paper
```
Create a new directory on the web server for your document, and go to that directory:
```
cd ~/public_html
mkdir newdir
cd newdir
```
Apply the command idvi to your dvi file to create html files in the current directory:
```
idvi ~/paperdir/paper.dvi -title "A Paper"
```
Make sure that the resulting files are visible to web browsers:
```
chmod go+rx .
chmod go+r *
```
Check the appearance of your document using a web browser:
```
netscape http://my.server/~dickie/newdir/ &
```
If you like the way it looks, add a link from your home page.
