I installed pandoc and tried it on some LaTeX documents.
There is just some contents which are missing and others witch should not be present. For example, \soft{Test} would not appear in the text document produced but \label{Test} yes, I don't know if it is possible to adjust the recognized commands and tell which should be kept in the final text and which should not, but otherwise it work just fine. As last ressort I could make a multi-file regexp-based replacement if customization is not possible. The HTML conversion is very good, I just converted a whole LaTeX book into a single HTML file (the most accessible form possible in my opinion) and the result is simply excellent.

The only problem of pandoc is the UTF-8 obligation. If on linux it is allmost the standard, it is not the case on windows and the conversion is not easy (currently I open each latex file one after each other in my 6pad and resave it in UTF-8).

Thank you very much for having told me the existance of that tool. It will help me a lot.
