For the file manual.tex ( http://github.com/metaperl/ursala-doc )

when I run pdflatex manual.tex

I get an 'Undefined control sequence' error but I do not know exactly
what the problem is.

Clearly, LaTeX has started to read ./pics/rendemo.tex (http://
github.com/metaperl/ursala-doc/blob/master/pics/rendemo.tex) and it is
having an issue on line 4 which is:

\psline[linestyle=dotted,linewidth=0.9pt,linecolor=black,fillstyle=none]
{-}( 21.90, 91.38)(142.98,156.39)

and then if I look in the .log file I see

(./pics/rendemo.tex
! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \c@lor@to@ps

l.4 ...th=0.9pt,linecolor=black,fillstyle=none]{-}
( 21.90, 91.38)

I see. Just looking ahead, how possible will it be to produce an HTML
version of the document once I get it compiled using a modern version
of LaTeX and the sequence of commands used above?

Thanks for your rapid response!

You'd use one of the latex to html compilers to produce html code
rather than going via dvi or pdf. My guess is that the pstricks stuff
will be problematic for compilation to html.
