Does Cygwin support latex ?

Cygwin's teTeX installation includes both tex and latex, as well as a 
number of other TeX-related programs.  (TeTeX is described as a 
"complete TeX distribution"; these days, LaTeX is considered a required 
part of such a thing.)

LaTeX2HTML is actually a completely separate program from TeX/LaTeX/etc, 
though it (of course) processes LaTeX input files.  I don't believe that 
there is currently a Cygwin package for it, so I suspect you'll need to 
install it directly.

The official LaTeX2HTML website is here: http://www.latex2html.org/; it 
contains downloads, though it seems fairly sparse on installation info.

In addition, http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/suvrit/work/l2h.html 
contains some basic instructions for installing it on Cygwin.  A Google 
search on "latex2html cygwin" finds others as well.
