Could also tell me how can I do the request where user have asked to remove all files from certain directory with .html extension.
rm <directory>/*.html (eg rm /dding/ting/tong/unixyang/output/*.html)

Or if it should recurse to find all html files in subdirectories too:

rm -r <directory>/*.html (be careful to type this correctly)

NAME
tthsplit - TtH gold HTML file splitting utilities SYNOPSIS
tthprep filename.tex tthsplit <filename{.html,.xml} ttmsplit <filename{.html,.xml} tthrfcat DESCRIPTION
The script tthprep runs LaTeX to generate the auxiliary files that tth or ttm need to properly link respectively an HTML or XML web docu- ment. The programs tth or ttm for converting TeX or LaTeX documents to HTML or XML respectively have a -s option which cause them to generate a single output file split into sections or chapters with fixed names. The program tthsplit splits the single file into files with fixed names depending on the LaTeX source. Each document should have its own directory to avoid overwriting each others files. Program ttmsplit is just a symlink to tthsplit. For complex documents with multiple bibliographies the tth and ttm programs generate references to a single file refs.html or refs.xml respectively. The tthrfcat program concatenates multiple bibliography files into such a single file and then deletes the multiple files. EXAMPLE
$ tthprep sample2e.tex $ tth -s sample2e.tex $ tthsplit <sample2e.html index.html sec1.html sec2.html footnote.html $ produces the four cross linked HTML files listed from a copy of the example file sample2e.tex distributed with LaTeX 2e and present on Debian systems with LaTeX installed. SEE ALSO
tth(1), ttm(1). The programs are documented fully in /usr/share/doc/tth-common/html/gold_man.html. AUTHOR
