Subject: [SPAM] tex4ht packages for SUN Solaris
Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 09:50:36 +0200

Eitan,

Just to let you know that I packaged tex4ht --- the latest version ---
for SUN Solaris and the packages are available in the distribution
OpenCSW: http://www.opencsw.org/ If you think that it's of interest for
the tex4ht users community you can mention it on the project page.

Sincerely yours
--
Peter FELECAN

Bill,

The problem is due to tex4ht assuming that \a maintains its original
definition as provided in latex.ltx. The same kind of problem will
arise with many other macros that are configured by tex4ht.

It is possible to modify tex4ht to provide configurations only for
control words that maintain their original definitions, but that will
require a large code overhead. On the other hand, it can be argued
that it is the responsibility of authors that change the meaning of
control words to provide also new tex4ht-based configurations.

I modified the bugfixes distribution to cancel through an instruction
of the form

\HRestore\a

the configuration by tex4ht.

The oolatex problem with gij/gcj is due to the problem exhibited in
the attached sample program. The program produces the same error (of
a missing office.dtd file) under SUN Java and GNU Java. When the
EntityResolver code is uncommented, the SUN Java program executes
smoothly. On the other hand, the GNU Java still issues the error
message. That is, GNU Java seems to have broken implementation for
the EntityResolver feature.

I ran the code with the commands

javac Test.java ; java Test test.tmp
gcj -C Test.java ; gij Test test.tmp

within the following environment.

java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)

By introducing an empty office.dtd file in the work directory, oolatex
would work also under gcj/gij.

As explained in section 2, TEX4ht needs external utilities for
creating the bitmaps used in the web-documents. The default set up is
a combination of dvips, gs (GhostScript) and ImageMagick�s convert
utility [4]. Unfortunately this is a rather slow process, and not a
very good one when it comes to antialiasing, and it�s definetely not
suited for typesetting uses. However, the dvi2bitmap tool available
freely from [3] is efficient and converts dvi files directly to png or
gif files. Dvi2bitmap works almost like a normal dvi-driver, but has
no support for so-called dvi-specials (such as included eps-figures
et.c.) Thus, a combination of the two is required: We use dvi2bitmap
whenever we encounter maths and special symbols as this is efficient
and produce good results, but use the aforementioned
dvips/gs/convert-process for items that dvi2bitmap cannot handle, such
as included PostScript figures.

I forgot to mention about one thing. The installation script I posted
earlier does not install tex4ht.exe and t4ht.exe binaries. They come
with miktex-tex4ht-bin-2.7 package and should be installed first
(using miktex package manager). The rest of tex4ht is installed by the
script and it won't show up in miktex package manager (it have to be
maintained manually).

And a small correction - lines [51-54] are not needed and can be
deleted (but they don't do any harm, it's not a bug, just some dead
code).

I thank Dan and Eitan for their help.

Eitan, under the instructions for an ``upgrade'' (which I assume bugfixes
should be applied as such?), it says:

``[Invocation Scripts] Find where htlatex resides (e.g., \u2018which
htlatex\u2019). Save the files htlatex, httex, httexi, and htcontext
elsewhere and get new scripts from
bin/linux/
for a replacement.''

but there is no such thing in
http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/fix/tex4ht-1.0.2008_02_26_0908.tar.gz

should it read as bin/unix instead? (I tried that, seems fine)

I am checking if this fixed my problem yet.

Enrico,

What TeX distribution are you using? If it is TeX Live or gwTeX, then
TeX4ht should be already installed in the distribution.

The latest version of TeXShop has an "engine" file for \ this program.
It is in

~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive

If you don't find it there, but have TeXShop 2.14, then move the
entire folder ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines to your desktop. The next time
TeXShop starts, it will create the default folder, which will include
a TeX4ht folder and htlatex.engine. To use it, move htlatex.engine
from the inactive folder to ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines.

To use this program, enter standard latex source in the Source Window.
In the pulldown menu next to the Typeset button, select htlatex. When
you push the Typeset button, your latex source will be typeset and
then converted to an html file, and this html file will open in Safari.

You can make this happen automatically (without selecting htlatex) by
entering

%!TEX TS-program = htlatex

near the top of your source file.

Enrico,

I am no expert, but on the command line I first change my directory to
the directory containing the latex file (Just drag and drop the folder
works fine). Then type htlatex nameofyourfile.tex

For graphics I think you will need ghostscript and Imagic which I got
with the i-Intaller.

If you are not working on the command line then a very effective gui
is SimpleTeX4ht (version 1.8). Just download, install and run. Select
the button ``Convert'' and you can browse your computer for the file you
want to convert to html.

I believe it will be a wrong approach, as users might get improper
content and in some cases are unlikely to notice it. Moreover, the
philosophy of OpenOffice, and of quite a few advocates of XML, is to
maintain zero tolerance for errors. So not allowing improper data is
consistent with that philosophy.

The squares or question marks OpenOffice and other browsers display
are not due to errors in the exhibited files. They point to missing
fonts in the platforms on which the browsers run.

A solution to a missing font problem should not be that difficult to
achieve by replacing fonts. For instance dvi2dvi seems to be
a utility designed for that purpose (http://packages.debian.org/sid/dvi2dvi).

Technically, it probably will be easy to add an option for tex4ht to
output, say, a question mark where characters are missing. In case
you strongly like to have such an option, I'll provide it.

to see exactly how we configure TeX Live.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've done this with MetaPost graphics. The first step is to get
yourself a PDF output as you suggested in (b). I've tried various
techniques, but I've decided for myself that this is the "best"
solution (quality wise). You'll need the following tools:

1) pstoedit --> http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit
2) skencil --> http://www.skencil.org
3) inkscape --> http://www.inkscape.org

In Gentoo Linux I needed Skencil in order for Inkscape to have SKencil/
SKetch support; however, pstoedit and Inkscape are the only two
utilities *directly* used. If your version of Inkscape has SK support
without installing SKencil, then that's good.

Let's assume your PDF is foo.pdf. Then do the following:

pstoedit -page 1 -rgb -dt -psarg "-r9600x9600" -f sk foo.pdf foo.sk

This will produce a SKencil/SKetch format of page 1 of your document.
-rgb uses RGB colors and -dt tells pstoedit to trace your fonts. This
tracing gives a larger filesize, but it ensures that your output text
looks exactly like your text in your PDF. The -psarg "-r9600x9600"
tells GhostScript to process stuff at 9600dpi.

Note that pstoedit can export to SVG directly, but I've found that the
results aren't as good as going through SK and using Inkscape to
convert the SK to SVG.

After you get foo.sk, you can then do

inkscape -z -f foo.sk -l foo.svg

Hopefully this will be to the quality and filesize that you want.

I don't think we can go for htlatex modifications, as the outcome
might also depend on the operating system in use. In any case, I
modified t4ht.c to allow for FULLY quoted arguments such as

t4ht try '-d~/WWW/temp/foo\ foo/'
t4ht try "-d~/WWW/temp/foo foo/"

and in the case of htlatex

htlatex file " " ``'-d~/WWW/temp/foo foo/'''

My guess the relevant parts in the Debian environment file have the
following outline.

<convert>
G.png
Gdvips ...
Ggs ...
G.svg
Gdvips ...
Gpstoedit ...
G.
Gdvips ...
Gconvert ...
</convert>

<netpbm>
.......
</netpbm>

<dvipng>
G.png
Gdvipng ...
G.gif
Gdvipng ...
G.
Gdvips ...
Gconvert ...
</dvipng>

The dvipng segment is the active one as its enclosing tags are
commented out, with spaces before the opening tag <dvipng> and the
closing tag </dvipng>. The dvipng segment consists of three
parts:

* A G.png and a G.gif parts invoking the dvipng
utility to satisfy requests for png and gif bitmaps

* A G. part invoking dvips+convert to handle requests for other
formats of bitmaps

Spaces before the records of the first two parts will comment out the
dvipng subscripts, and forward all the requests to the subscript in
the third part.

Alternatively, remove the spaces before the <dvipng> and </dvipng> tags
to deactivate the script they enclose, and place spaces before the
<convert> and </convert> tags to activate the enclosed script.

>In which language is written the tex4ht.env file? Python? Perl?
>Can somebody show me how to edit the tex4ht.env file?

The file cosists of a specially designed script to be interpreted by
the tex4ht utilities. The tex4ht.env entry in the index of

http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html

offers some clues to its content. Modifications to the file can be
done with editors capable of working with plain text.

I should wrie such instructions... The idea is just to replace the old
files/directories with the new ones:

bin/ht/perl/mk4ht.perl
bin/ht/unix/ht*
bin/mac/*
texmf/*

and refresh lR-s, e.g., with the texhash command.

The problem has vanished. It
might be connected with the update of tetex-bin that I just made on the

and I'm going to announce TeXML 2.0 in the middle of July. The new

There are a lot of them, but they are private. The only public script
I'm aware of is XML2TeXML by Wolfgang Jeltsch
(http://xml2texml.sourceforge.net/ ). And I'm starting working on a

How about trying the `jslatex' option. It doesn't preserve the

That can be done by adding in the htlatex-like script files the -d
switch to the t4ht records, e.g.,

t4ht ... -d~/WWW/temp/

Similarly, within mk4ht add the -d switch to the trailing quoted "..."
segments, e.g.,

"ht", "htlatex", "latex", "", "", "-cvalidatehtml -d~/WWW/temp/",

It doesn't seem appropriate to introduce such a switch permanently
as different users might prefer different directories for their
output.

I have the switch -d~/WWW/temp/ set in my private scripts. I insert
the switch -d./ in the command line, when I want to overwrite that
switch to have the outcome stay in the work directory.

Try the command `t4ht' without arguments. It will show the available
options. I'll modify the documentation to deal with issue.

TeX4ht specifies sizes only for bounding boxes, when it gets them from
latex. I don't know how to provide sizes in general, as dimensions
for paper output quite often result in distorted dimensions within XML
presentations. I don't understand why OpenOffice uses 1cm dimensions
for figures that are offered without requested dimensions---I would
expect the natural sizes of the figures to be preferable.

[1] latex2html and wiki
Lines: 19

Hello Texnicians,

I have found that wiki is a great way to publish a doc so
that the other developers can collaborate on it, but I
prefer to start that document in LaTeX initially. So I used
latex2html to convert it to HTML and used copy-n-paste to
copy from the HTML to a WIKI page. This gave me a document
that the other developers (who are not TeX aware) can work
with. But this was rather tedious to do.

I have seen several attempts to write latex2wiki but they
all seem quite poor. It occurs to me that it might be better
to take latex2html and add a mode that would allow WIKI
output as an option. What do you guys think? Does this sound
reasonable? Is latex2html still supported/maintained/developed?

Regards,

Andrew Marlow

Look at the messages issued by tex4ht.c for the location of the active
unicode.4hf file. Copy that file to your work directory. You can
redefine any character to your liking. For instance, an entry

'〈' '' 'foo' ''

will substitute the character 〈 with `foo' everywhere. On the
other hand, an entry asks for a pictorial substitution where allowed
and `foo' where pictures are not allowed.

'〈' '' 'foo' '1'

There's my LaTeXML, which I've been meaning to submit to the software
list, once I get a breath.
See http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/
for description, documentation and a (somewhat out-of-date) example from DLMF.

A brief description (and apologies, in advance, for beating my own drum):

LaTeXML attempts to mimic TeX's behaviour as fully as possible, but interprets
TeX via a Perl program, rather than using TeX's engine itself. Thus extension
and customization can be done using perl modules, as well as TeX code.

It processes whole documents (although it can be induced to process fragments,
such as formula), converting the document to a LaTeXML DocType that corresponds
to LaTeX's constructs. This avoids the information lost by direct conversion
to html. This output can then be converted to html (w/images for math),
xhtml (w/MathML) or other formats using XSL stylesheets (included for html/xhtml).

[In principle, but not practically, it could also be made to directly generate
other XML formats: Ie. the processing engine is (almost) separated from the
document generation. However, since the vocabularies are so large it's nontrivial
to replace the generation definitions.]

As for MathML: the program attempts to parse the formula into, at least,
a parse tree. This is necessary to generate "Good" presentation MathML.
It is close to enough to generate content MathML, as well, although
some major sticking points and ambiguities, such as the meaning of superscripts
and the handling of unknown symbols, are the subject of further development.
To increase the quality of the parsing, an author can either use special
markup to disambiguate the notations, or use document-specific external declarations.

I've been using it pretty heavily in the DLMF (Digital Library of Mathematical
Functions) project. I've processed 26 chapters (must be equivalent to
6-700 pages) so far; we're preparing a draft of the site for evaluation
(alas, the editors are keeping it close to the chest, however).
So, I'd have to say my experience is positive :>

Michael Kohlhase has also been using LaTeXML in developing his STeX system.

One suggestion though is, that you make it more obvious that one should
really study the .log file. (I normally don't do this.) I have seen that
you have put somewhere a hint to the mktex4ht.4ht index, but I cannot
remember that I have seen that index on your website. That would be very
much welcome. In fact, but the sources as html online. Then one could
more easily refer to it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The (behind the scenes) process of converting the PDF to SVG above uses the following three external programs:

1. pstoedit to convert the PDF to SKencil/SKetch format
2. skconvert to convert the SKencil/SKetch file to SVG
3. gzip to compress the SVG

The actual commands that are executed are:

* pstoedit -page 1 -dt -psarg

Howdy,

Now that you know how to do it in terminal, here's a way to do it
from within TeXShop.

Go to the ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ folder (~ is your HOME
directory) and duplicate one of the .engine files there. Rename it
htlatex.engine and open it up (double clicking will open it up in
TeXShop). Remove the contents of the file and put the following lines
into that file:

#!/bin/bash
htlatex "$1"

and save the file (again in ~/Library/TeXShop/engines and with the
name htlatex.engine).

At the beginning of any .tex file you want to be processed with
htlatex put the line

%!TEX TS-program = htlatex

and then process the file with Cmd-T (Typeset). As an alternative you
can simply choose the htlatex engine in the dropdown menu in the
toolbar.

I tried pstoedit -f svg-plot file.eps file.svg, but that did not work well.
The greek letters were omitted and the non-greek letter did overlap.

Use latex (with preview.sty) and dvipng. dvipng will even output the
ascender and descender values so that inline math can be displayed
with correct vertical positioning.

WordML2LaTeX is a meeting point between two titans in word processing:
Microsoft Word 2003 and LaTeX2e.

It is a XSL stylesheet that transforms a Word document (WordML) in a
LaTeX2e source. With it You can use Word as a front end for LaTeX.

Yes! It is possible:

http://iki.fi/juhtolv/pelle.html
http://iki.fi/juhtolv/css-download/
http://iki.fi/juhtolv/css-download/readme.txt

You'd better use Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Galeon, Konqueror or Opera,
because they support alternative stylesheets and MSIE don't.

I'd like to support cm-super, too, but it is fscking huge package and it
is real pain in the ass to find right font from those gazillion files,
because they have almost meaningless fontnames.

Maarten,

You owe me nothing! It is a pleasure for me to work with you, and that
is more than enough for me.

The pointer regarding Gentoo might become useful to me. I hope to
find a few days in the coming months to set up a server running Linux
and I was wondering which distribution to use. So from your
experience Gentoo seems to be a good choice.

I placed in the bug fixes page a pointer to the zipped file renamed
to tex4ht-20040211.zip, and will fix the name in the main page next
year when I'll revise the home page.

Thanks, -eitan
