I appear to have htlatex and htxelatex already installed on my computer. However when I try to run them, it comes up with the message, 'I can't write on file 'texput.log''
I am trying to convert a LaTeX file to HTML.
This is on Windows, with MiKTeX.
This may help you. I made a batch script that I use when working with htlatex. You can copy and paste it into a file, and save it with .bat extension, e.g., html.bat.
cmd, or press WndLogo + R and write cmd to execute the command prompt. The command prompt is an application in which you can run different commands. In the top of the window you will see the current directory. For example, C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe. You can check this tutorial for more information.cd path. For example, if you have your LaTeX documents in a folder in the C drive called My Latex, you can move to that folder using cd "C:\My Latex". Note that you have to surround the path with quotes due to the spaces on it.html.bat file.tex. That will create a html directory in which you can find your file. (This assumes you have your file in the same directory as your .tex file. However, you can place the script in a folder and add that folder to your environment variables. Then you will be able to call it from anywhere.)
htlatex file.tex html "" -dSomeDir "--interaction=nonstopmode". The html option sets the type of output, -dSomeDir sets the output directory to SomeDir (although it is not mandatory, it is a good idea as htlatex produces several files), and the nonstopmode tells the compiler not to stop if it can avoided.The script looks like this:
@echo off
if [%1]==[] goto usage
set name=%~n1
if exist .\html goto exists
mkdir html
goto process
:exists
echo y | del .\html\*
:process
htlatex %name%.tex html "" -dhtml "--interaction=nonstopmode"
:clean
del %name%.4tc > nul
del %name%.4ct > nul
del %name%.tmp > nul
del %name%.xref > nul
del %name%.idv > nul
del %name%.lg > nul
del %name%.html > nul
del %name%.css > nul
goto end
:usage
echo Usage: %0 file.tex
echo *** Caution *** If there is a html directory it will be deleted.
echo.
:end
You have to open a command line window. I do not have an access to a Windows computer at the moment, so I do not know if there is a better way to do it, but I seem to remember that if you click on Start, then navigate to the Programs menu (the way to do it seems to depend on your Windows version), then under Accessories there is something like "DOS Prompt" or "Command Prompt". When the command prompt window opens, you have to change to the directory (or folder) that contains your file (cd "\Documents And Something\XYZ's Documents\whatever\folder\it\is\in"), and run htlatex myfile.tex. That will work if htlatex is in your PATH. If it is not, you have to type the full path to htlatex instead, something like
"C:\the\full path\to\htlatex.exe" myfile.tex
Hopefully someone with better knowledge of Windows will be able to edit this or provide a better answer.

htlatex(from an editor? from the command line?) – Alan Munn Dec 27 '11 at 18:25htlatexfrom the command line (the black background window). So, in order to use it you have to open a command window, by typingcmdin the same search bar. And then you can typehtlatex C:\path\to\your\file\name.tex. That will create the HTML for you. – adn Dec 28 '11 at 02:54cmdconsole as an administrator, just right click and you will see the menu. – yannisl Jan 30 '12 at 21:27
