The emacs editor. :-) Also useful is latex2html (see CERN, under tools), the netpbm stuff, xfig, transfig, other tex/latex stuff. Anything that can make eps, ps, gif, or jpeg files or any graphics format that can be converted into one of these. But you still need to be able to edit HTML. Below is the perl HTML->slide conversion I use. It produces slitex files from the html (which has to be edited in a certain style. The slitex produces postscript files that can be run through lzps and loaded into wb for mbone use.
