I'd like a way to have four Greek words displayed in a .htmlfile produced by LaTeX2HTML without too much space betweenadjacent Greek letters.

Pat Somerville — 2013-02-12T06:16:20

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}

..

\begin{document}

..

\greektext qronoc (to have "chi rho omicron nu omicron varsigma" in Greek letters)

...

\latintext For English-language text here

....

\end{document}

That sort of thing worked in the .dvi (DeVice-Independent) file produced by a command of the form "latex

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.  Here are the versions and/or dates and/or years of the relevant codes I found I have installed on my computer:

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.

Here are the versions and/or dates and/or years of the relevant codes I found I have installed on my computer:

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

Where may I find instructions on how to use KLaTeXFormula?

Pat Somerville — 2012-11-05T05:38:58

Hello.  After downloading and installing updates to software packages in my openSUSE-12.2, Linux operating system and then in editing a .tex file in the text editor, probably Kate, I noticed something new: A window appeared with an image of how a mathematical expression or equation would look in perhaps a context-sensitive menu appearing near the LatTeX code for that equation.  Recently I have that feature somehow deactivated.  But maybe that feature could be useful for me once I know how to deal with it.  Perhaps one way to have it could be to know how to turn it on when one really wants to see how an equation would look without typing the usual latex..... and/or latex2html........ commands.  So this might be a time-saving feature for the editor of LaTeX code.  Where may I find instructions on how to use that KLaTeXFormula feature, including how to activate and deactivate it?  If that information is located in a manual that I might already have in a year-2011, TeX Live installation, please provide a command

Requesting sample code used in a .tex file for includinganimated figures, presently as .gif files,in output .pdf and/or .html files/file, et cetera

Pat Somerville — 2012-10-31T07:59:33

Hello. I have some .gif files I'd like to include in .pdf and/or .html output files/file. I got the impression from AlexG's posting on http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34774/including-gif-image-in-pdflatex-document/34776#34776 on the Internet that I may need to first convert the .gif files to .png files using the "convert" command-line tool of ImageMagick; and perhaps that might be necessary because pdftex can't work with .gif files.---Do you agree with this latter idea? I downloaded something to make ImageMagick's file converter program called "convert" work from http://wiseconvert.com/d/imageconverter.php, but so far haven't succeeded in making such a conversion.---In a command-prompt window in Windows XP Home Edition I entered a command of the form "convert input.gif output.png" in the directory where a file with a name of the form input.gif was located. But that didn't seem to work for me. I also tried using the Image Converter facility built into my Firefox Web browser by the installation of Image

CSS issue with latex2html

stéphane vidal — 2012-07-19T12:41:53

Hello,

I have succeeded to generate html pages of tex courses. My problem is now
to apply my personal CSS layout to these
files. In order to have, for all the different pages, a good vertical
alignment of equations, I use this CSS rule :

div.mathdisplay table.equation img[align="bottom"] { line-height:auto;
height:auto; vertical-align: middle;}
div.mathdisplay table.equation img[align="middle"] { line-height:auto;
height:auto; vertical-align: middle;}

the "auto" with "line-height" and "height" allows me to adapt dynamically
with the size of the equations wich is not
always the same. So with this, all the equations are correctly aligned (at
least with firefox)

Now, my issue is about the vertical alignement of the text between the
"<span class="MATH">" and "<img ... >" element like in this example :

<div align="CENTER" class="mathdisplay"><a name="eq71"></a>
<!-- MATH \begin{equation}
\text{rot}\,\mathbf{B}-\dfrac{1}{c^{2}}\,\dfrac{\partial\,\mathbf{E}}{\partial\,t}=\mu_{0}\,\mathbf{J}
\end{equation} -->

mirroring latex2html

Robin Fairbairns — 2012-06-07T16:03:04

for some time, ctan has been mirroring (ftp saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de
for latex2html

for the first time for ages, i've checked the performance of the mirror,
and it seems that saftsack no longer accepts ftp

now, in a sense, this probably doesn't matter: latex2html seems never to
change (i've been reading this list for some time and seen no updates
announced).

however, does anyone know of a site i could update ctan from?  ctan can
mirror from ftp sites or rsync sites -- mirroring over http has never
been satisfactory.

current state may be seen at

  http://mirror.ctan.org/upport/latex2html

please form an orderly queue ... i can only deal with one suggestion at
a time!

Hello,

is someone able to make an update to the website and the documentation?

The website located at

Also some of the graphics files that

Most of the hyperlinks on the whole website are old and dead.

These files in CVS contain *many* dead links:

Problems with larger documents when generationg images

Mark Duke — 2012-01-23T10:47:49

Hi All,

We want to use latex2html to create a really large document - as a pdf 
approximately 2000 pages. There are a considereable number (~4000) of 
images, which need to be converted, e.g formulas. It seems as though 
latex2html is limited to 1000 images, which can be converted, as in my 
image temp directory the last image generated is image997.ps. Does 
anyone know how to increase the limit or any other suggestions?

Thank you for you help,

Mark

Makefile for segmented documentation

alessandro basili — 2011-11-03T16:57:55

Hi,

I'm actually intrigued by the possibility to have a Makefile that runs
over the .tex and produces both the dvi/ps/pdf output as well as the html.

I have followed the example Makefile coming with the package but I'm
having problems extending the idea to a more complex structure of files
and cross-references and my make is either running in a somewhat
infinite loop or simply I never get to the point where "Nothing to be
done for 'all'".

Except for the latex part (which targets .dvi, .aux and .ps) the l2h
part is understood in the following way:

$(TOP)/$(TOP).html target depends on changes on .tex, .aux and any the
.html of each section. Every section depends on the related .tex and on
the internals.pl which contains the references/labels from other sections.

Whenever the .html is targeted, a .stamp is targeted instead, which will
actually run l2h over the .tex and then touch a .stamp file. The .stamp
target has the same dependencies that .html has (why?).

The last and maybe most mysterious part is th

Unofficial latex2html 2009 version

Roland Stigge — 2011-11-02T18:41:48

Hi,

at Debian, I just got the following request:

http://bugs.debian.org/647433

There is an "unofficial 2009" version issued by someone at Stanford. Can
we please coordinate what to do about it? Did they first try to contact
the mailing list?

Further, a new official release, including updates (maybe including
those from Stanford) since 2008 would be nice, anyway (hint, hint ;-).
This would make the whole issue obsolete.

Thanks in advance,

bye,

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

Pat Somerville — 2011-10-30T05:32:27

Hello. I have been using:

the September 24, 2009 version of LaTeX 2e,
BibTeX 0.99b,
by the command \usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib} the natbib software 
package with the options sort&compress and with the additional command 
\bibpunct{}{}{,}{s}{} (similar to at 
http://www.andy-roberts.net/writing/latex/bibliographies on the Internet),
the apsrev4-1.bst bibliographic style file of REVTeX 4.1 called in a 
.tex-file command of the form \bibliographystyle{apsrev4-1}, and
LaTeX2HTML 1.71

in an openSUSE-11.4, Linux operating system. This is my first attempt to try 
to produce a letter for distribution to some other people which uses 
automatically numbered references, figures, tables, and equations and which 
uses a .bib, bibliography file external to my .tex file; for that matter I 
may not have even used BibTeX before this attempt.

My use of several commands with natbib followed the advice of I think Daniel 
Els at

LaTeX2HTML Development?

Les R — 2011-10-14T23:13:42

Hello L2H Folks,

I've been wondering if there is going to be any ongoing development on
L2H to add features
or handle any issues (although looking at the list, there seems to
very little to complain about!).

I use L2H to generate HTML output for documentation (along with
another wrapper to generate PDF) for
my GPL'd school admin software.

I would like to also generate shorter HTML docs for use as short help
pages for users (and have for quite
some time... I've been writing this software (and had it used) for 10
years now ).

To that end, I would like to do some work on enabling this sort of
thing in L2H, but don't want to step on
anyone else's toes, etc.  I've been writing in perl for a long time
(of course, that doesn't mean much... (grin))
and have been doing various kinds of markup also for a long time.

So is anyone else doing anything I can help out with (and also add
something to generate more granular docs
with more anchors (and connected to database lookups, etc for use in a
help system).

In Summ

What is a good way to introduce five or six consecutive,blank spaces within text in a .html file produced using LaTeX2HTML?

Pat Somerville — 2011-10-13T03:39:12

Hello. This year of 2011 I wanted to include Fortran computer program code (footnote below) and output listings in .tex files and then run latex and latex2html commands on those files to produce .html output files. But I have yet to produce all of the blank columns or spaces and in the proper locations that I would like to see them in the output, .html files at or near the beginnings of all of the desired Fortran statements. I have been using HTML (HyperText Markup Language) version 3.2 in a latex2html command; LaTeX2HTML 2008, version 1.71; and the two Web browsers Konqueror 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 6" and Mozilla Firefox 6.0.2 during these trials. Fortran programmers may know that commonly a commented (C) line begins with a character, such as "C", in column one; executable statements begin in column seven; I think characters beyond column 72 are ignored in an executable Fortran statement; and a continuation character, for example "+" or I use "H", for a long Fortran statement which continues on a second or

How can one in a .html file produced using LaTeX2HTML and a.tex file underline some,but not all of the column entries in just one row of a table?

Pat Somerville — 2011-10-13T04:11:56

Hello. After a table row the LaTeX command \cline{2-9} is supposed to underline columns two through nine in that row, but not column one of it. To underline all of the columns in a table row, \hline would be used. For a table I found that the command \cline{2-9} after a table row in a file with a name of the form MyFile.tex may work as it should in a file of the form MyFile.dvi produced by executing the command of the form "latex MyFile.tex". But I don't think it worked that way in the .html file produced by executing a command of the form "latex2html....... MyFile.tex". What I wanted was to have the first cell of the table contain a relatively lengthy description that would apply to each of the first three rows of the table ("Relatively lengthy" is relatively lengthy compared to the width of the text or set of characters used in some other columns of the table, but still only a few words long.). So for that purpose I did not want to underline each of the lines of text in that somewhat lengthy description al
