Hello, Lucio Chiappetti.  Sorry, some of my writing was apparently 
wrong.---It now appears to me that you may have directly edited the 
HyperText Markup Language (HTML or html) source code to input Cyrillic 
letters in a .html file.  Thanks for very kindly taking some time to offer 
me your suggestion on how to input a Greek word into a .html document using 
the program LaTeX2HTML executing on a .tex file.  After trying what you 
suggested, in the .html ouput file of LaTeX2HTML I saw something close to

html chrono s chronos

with the pronunciation "chronos" instead in Greek letters with that 
pronunciation.  The space between the second "o" the Greek equivalent 
varsigma of my "s" might have been slightly smaller than the full blank 
space shown above.  And I had commented out with a % at the beginning of 
each of such lines the lines \usepackage[mathletters]{ucs} and 
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}  .

So still with those lines commented out I tried the following command in my 
.tex file:

\begin{rawhtml}&#

Also I suppose the "latex2html ........ .tex" command should include a 
"unicode" option in it, as in for example "-html_version4.0,math,unicode," 
when explicitly including hexadecimal codes for Unicode characters in a .tex 
file.  And the version of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) used in that 
command might be important, too, for example "-html_version3.2" or 
"-html_version4.0".  So for anyone with a successful result and especially 
for Lucio Chiappetti, I'd like to know what "latex2html ....... .tex" 
command you may have used with a .tex file containing explicit hexadecimal 
codes in order to generate any words not using Latin or English-language 
characters in a .html file produced by LaTeX2HTML.

Thanks, Nasser M. Abbasi and Lucio Chiappetti, for very kindly taking some 
time to write to me with your ideas concerning the problem of how to obtain 
Greek words without abnormal-looking spacing between pairs of letters in 
such words in a HyperText Markup Language (.hrml) file when viewed in a Web 
browser.  Nasser, your method of getting a Greek word into .html output 
using the computer program htlatex in a command of the form "htlatex 
TestFile.tex" gratefully worked for me, too.  I found that the .html output 
file it produced was located in the same directory as my test, .tex file. 
Apparently I already had the program htlatex installed in my openSUSE-12.2, 
Linux operating system.  Gratefully the reference numbering appeared equally 
good for me using either HTLatex (or htlatex) or LaTeX2HTML.  So thanks to 
you, Nasser, there is one working solution to getting a Greek word into a 
.html file.

Thanks, Lucio Chiappetti, for your idea of inputting hexadecimal (probably 
Unicode) codes for Greek lett

I can't help since I get the same problem with (l2h 2008, 1.71) on Linux,
and I suspect this just means l2h does not have support for the Greek package?

But I tried your file above with htlatex, and it produced the correct out in html.

Re: In my LaTeX2HTML-produced,.html file the references don't look good. What am I missing?

Pat Somerville — 2013-02-12T06:48:02

Sorry, but concerning the first part of my electronic-mail letter there was 
one very important thing in which my procedure failed.---The numbering of 
the references was not sequentially in the order in which I cited the 
references using a command of the form \cite{....} in my text!  But 
gratefully I found a way that worked to solve that problem.

I switched from \usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib} to \usepackage{natbib}.
And I switched from \bibliographystyle{plainnat} to 
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}.

I kept some other important commands the same, namely commands of the form
..
\usepackage{...............,hyperref,hypernat}
..
\bibpunct{}{,}{n}{}{}
\begin{document}
..
\bibliography{MyDotBibFileNameWithoutAPeriodOrExtension}
\end{document}
.
Then afterwards in a test gratefully it appeared that the order of my citing 
references in text matched the order in which those references were 
numbered.

I wanted a way to have the reference numbers in citations in text not have 
parentheses around them, the format

Hello. I would like to enter four Greek words into a .html (HyperText Markup Language) file produced by LaTeX2HTML that otherwise contains English-language words, figures, equations, and references; two of the four Greek words are the same. Could someone kindly provide me with a method in a .tex, LaTeX file which on executing a latex2html.... command on that file will produce nice-looking Greek words in a .html (HyperText Markup Language) file and without too much space between adjacent Greek letters in a Greek word?

Here is a brief summary of the sort of things I have tried so far, but have not yet had the good-looking success I desire in LaTeX2HTML output with the four Greek words:

A.

\usepackage[greek,english]{babel}

Sorry, in writing "http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl, 
which matches the
Web address I cited above" 
(http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl) I was wrong. 
Looking closely at those two Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) the second one 
has .../faq/... in it while the first one does not.  So they don't match 
after all.  Furthermore while online I found that I could enter the URL 
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl into my Mozilla 
Firefox-18 Web browser and "reach" that corresponding Web page on the 
Internet.  So another correction to my earlier writing is that by the entry 
of that single URL into a Web browser on January 17, 2013 I could directly 
reach the corresponding Web page.  Sorry, I made those errors.  I noticed 
the difference in those two URLs after I received an electronic-mail letter 
kindly written to me by Robin Fairbairns.

Another point is that I figured out that it may have been about 18-27 days 
before January 16, 2013 when I

Re: big problem with images in html links. Same image is used.

Nasser M. Abbasi — 2013-01-17T20:24:38

I am really sorry. The problem does show up in both cases

I got mixed up, since I havecode like this in latex:

       \begin{rawhtml}
         <img src="A/image.png">
       \end{rawhtml}

And the above is the one that was working OK.  Not the latex code.

So, the problem is there in these 2 cases:


AND ALSO


I have now solved this finally by going through the
hundreds of images I have, and renaming each image so that
the folder name the image is in, is part of the name. So
now I have

\includegraphics[]{A/A_image}
\includegraphics[]{B/B_image}

and now it works ok.

I am tired, been fighting this problem for 2 days.
The above is the only way to get around it. But now it is
ok. Just have to remember all the time, to append
the folder name to each image I create so all will be
unique.

Nasser M. Abbasi — 2013-01-17T19:01:53

Hello;

Another bit of information on this problem.

This problem happens only when using the image as a thumbnail
inside hyperlink. It does not show up with doing a direct
includegraphics. Let me explain more.

Give this setup

----------------------
home/index.tex
home/A/image.png
home/B/image.png
----------------------

and in index.tex one has these 2 commands

-------------------
\href{A/image}{\includegraphics[]{A/image}}
\href{B/image}{\includegraphics[]{B/image}}
---------------------

Now the html will have the SAME thumbnail image (from folder A)
shown in both links.

But if the commands were

-------------------
\includegraphics[]{A/image}
\includegraphics[]{B/image}
---------------------

It does not matter if I call latex2html like this:

latex2html -no_reuse -subdir index.tex

or like this

latex2html -no_subdir index.tex

The problem still shows up.  May be extra information can
help some expert in l2h reading this guess where the
problem is.

Re: Wrong figure numbers in figure captions when I attemptedto have my figures automatically numbered using ~\ref.....commands in my .tex file

Robin Fairbairns — 2013-01-15T17:07:40


this is either totally trivial (sequence should always be
  \caption{...}
  \label{...}
)

or totally impossible to diagnose with statements like

  I might have tried to include figure captions within \caption and/or
  \parbox commands.

captions would work within a \parbox but not with \caption.

tbh, this doesn't sound particularly specific to latex2html: i would
guess that if you feed rubbish to latex2html, you're _more_ likely to
get rubbish out than if you feed it to (la)tex.  in such a circumstance,
the (la)tex problem may be more amenable to comprehension.

the standard recommendation is that you produce a "minimal example" of a

I mentioned this problem long time ago.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.latex2html/505

But there is was satsfactory answer to this problem as of yet.

This is a big problem for me as I have used the same
image name in many folders in order to make it easy to automate
other things. But now when I run latex2html, and even though
the images are in different folders, l2h will use the same
image name for all the links. Here is an example:

I have foo.tex in a folder. and Below this folder, I have 2
folders A\ and B\ and each have an image called image.png

Now this is my foo.tex:

Wrong figure numbers in figure captions when I attempted tohave my figures automatically numbered using ~\ref.....commands in my .tex file

Pat Somerville — 2013-01-15T06:56:25

Hello.  I tried to automatically number figures using commands like "Fig.~\ref{....}" and in text and \label{...} commands within figure environments in my .tex file.  I might have tried to include figure captions within \caption and/or \parbox commands.  Anyhow, my figure numbers were incorrect in the figure captions.  Another variable is that I have been using both pdflatex and latex plus latex2html commands in recent weeks; so there is a question whether I was examining a Portable Document Format (.pdf) output file produced by a pdflatex command or a .html file produced by executing a latex2html command.  Recently I gave up on getting the figure numbers within captions correct by attempting to have the figures automatically numbered via the use of ~\ref{....} commands.---That is I numbered the figures myself everywhere within a .tex file.  Would someone please guide me or refer me to a guide of consistent \caption or \parbox commands together with ~\ref{...} in text and \label{...} commands within figure

$\dot{\phi }$ in text produced the Roman letters "phi" with adot over that group of Roman letters instead of the desiredGreek letter "phi."

Pat Somerville — 2013-01-15T07:01:49

Hello.  In my .tex file $\dot{\phi }$ in text produced the Roman letters "phi" with a dot over that group of Roman letters instead of the desired Greek letter "phi" in my output file.  I have been using pdflatex commands and the combination of latex plus latex2html commands.  I am not certain whether my output file was produced using a pdflatex or a latex2html... command.  But my "workaround" solution was to generate an equation including \dot{\phi } in it.  Then the output was okay.

A black line segment under output corresponding to the LaTeXcode \dot{\vec{r}} gratefully eliminated with\dot\vec{\hspace{0.2 mm}r}

Pat Somerville — 2013-01-15T06:15:40

Hello.  In my .tex file \dot{\vec{r}} corresponded to a black line segment under the dotted vector r in my output file.  My first guess is that it may have been an output file corresponding to a latex2html... command on the .tex file.  My uncertainty on that matter arises because in recent weeks I have been using both pdflatex commands and the combination of latex plus latex2html commands.  My method to eliminate the black line segment under the dotted vector r was to instead put \dot\vec{\hspace{0.2 mm}r} in my .tex file.

errors using l2h Version 2008 (1.71) with -show_section_numbers when using pdflatex generated .aux file

Nasser M. Abbasi — 2013-01-13T07:37:13

l2h needs to the .aux file to generate section numbers.

So I run pdflatex on the tex file before running
l2h, so that the .aux file is there.

Noticed now that when .aux is generated by pdflatex, then
l2h generates errors:

*********** WARNINGS ***********

? brace missing for \

Substitution of arg to newlabelxx delayed.

redefining command \

? brace missing for \oldcontentsline

? brace missing for \oldnewlabel

Done.
-------------------------------------

However, when running latex instead of pdflatex to generate the
.aux file, then l2h is happy:

---------------------------
1/3:section:.."1 one" for node1.htm
;;
2/3:section:.."2 two" for node2.htm
;;
3/3:sectionstar:.."About this document ..." for node3.htm
;;.

Doing section links ..........
Copying navigation icons ...
Done.
----------------------------------

see, no errors !

The reason I run pdflatex first instead of latex, is that
my tex files include images (using includegraphicx), of type
.png and not .ps or .e

yes.  true of an awful lot of abandoned packages, unfortunately.

someone needs a ring to rule them all, to bind them, and to find them
when the lights go out.


quite.  i used to mirror some web site for l2h, and it was just the same
then, except one assumed that "access to the site" \equiv "has some clue
about what they're doing with l2h".  the announcement situation was
otherwise the same.

maintaining an archive is a case of damned if you do, damned if you
don't.  in that situation, i generally tend not to (after agonising
about it for a while) on the grounds that i don't want to waste any
