html2tex is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from phanghonghao/THU-Awesome-Skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (410 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that converts HTML into LaTeX, a text-based document format, and can optionally compile the result into a PDF.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn Word-generated or other HTML documents into LaTeX files and, when XeLaTeX is available, PDF documents.
Why use it?
It helps preserve content that is awkward to move by hand, including merged tables, embedded images, text formatting, and MathJax formulas.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

html2tex scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (html2tex.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

html2tex

Convert HTML files to LaTeX and PDF with the bundled html2tex.py script.

Run

From this skill directory, run:

python html2tex.py <input.html> [--output-dir DIR] [--no-compile]

Inputs

Assume the input HTML may contain:

  • tables with colspan and rowspan
  • embedded images
  • bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough
  • MathJax-style formulas

Use this skill especially for HTML produced by a Word-to-HTML workflow.

Outputs

Produce:

  • <input>.tex
  • <input>.pdf when compilation is enabled

If --output-dir is omitted, write output next to the input file.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the input file exists.
  2. Run html2tex.py.
  3. If the user asked for PDF and compilation succeeds, report both .tex and .pdf.
  4. If XeLaTeX is missing or compilation fails, rerun with --no-compile only when needed and report that only .tex was generated.

Dependencies

Require:

  • Python 3
  • XeLaTeX for PDF compilation

If XeLaTeX is unavailable, do not pretend PDF generation succeeded.

Notes

  • Preserve tables and images where possible.
  • Prefer reporting the generated file paths instead of pasting LaTeX output into the response.
  • If the HTML appears broken, mention that the converter can only preserve structure that exists in the source HTML.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
