The default is constant (apart from the version of LaTeX2HTML) so if you want something different, just put that into your .latex2html-init file. If you want the default + something extra, then just put Perl code into .latex2html-init that appends to the default value (copied into your init file). There are 3 other places where you can alter what goes into the header: &meta_information(...) Perl subroutine, taking $title as parameter called before a page is built (use the existing one in l2hconf.pm as a template). $STYLESHEET_CASCADE (default is empty) &replace_morelinks() no parameter, called after a page has been built (this subroutine replaces the $more_links_mark with $more_links, which is a collection of tags, built-up for each HTML page.) You could write an alternative subroutine that places these links, as well as putting other things either before or after. This can be used for information that is dependent upon other material on the HTML page; that is, information that may not have been available before the page has been processed. Thus there are 2 variables and 2 subroutines that can be used to affect what goes into the section. I really don't see any need for more than this.

Thanks From Michael L. Hall" Greetings, all: I've discovered a rather insidious bug. It's caused when you have a .latex2html-init file in both your home directory and the current working directory. This situation happens since you might want to override your default version (in your home directory) with a version specific to the file you're l2h'ing. In this case, L2H seems to read in both but only use one, according to the output log: Note: Loading /home/hall/.latex2html-init Note: Loading ./.latex2html-init Note: Initialising with file: .latex2html-init However, when I do this with a -t flag to change the title, the title does not change. I think it's being redefined with a double read of init files, but I haven't looked "under the hood" to see what's really happening. Here's an abbreviated output to show you what I'm talking about. I've only left in what I consider to be the pertinent parts: ----------------------------------------------------------------- First, the version that messes up: galt% rm ../resume/* galt% cp ~/.latex2html-init . galt% latex2html -t "Michael L.

Here is the full situation: Matching the background of the HTML pages to the background of your images is impossible to achieve always, since your readers can choose whatever default background colour they wish. To overcome this, you must specify a background color for your pages as well as for your images. The easiest way to do this consistently is to have LaTeX code in the document preamble: \usepackage{color} \pagecolor{} e.g. = 'white' is the most common. Note that when processing documents with LaTeX, people tend to think that the background will be white, unless specified otherwise. That is not true. The background is 'transparent'; they just tend to print on white paper. (More on transparency below.) The default background colour in most Web browsers is 'gray'. LaTeX2HTML defaults the background color to gray, to match this (even though, nowadays, white is perhaps seen more often as a background, at least in commercially-constructed web-sites). There is a second reason for choosing 'gray' as the background colour, at least for images of pieces of text; e.g. accented letters, and mathematical symbols that do not appear in standard fonts. This is related to anti-aliasing effects. *** Transparent backgrounds for images ***. Having the background to an image as transparent completely solves the problem of matching the image background to the page-colour. When LaTeX2HTML is installed, it is usually with the setting to create images with transparent backgrounds --- provided software to do so is available on the local system. Both the GIF and PNG graphics formats support specifying that a particular colour should be shown as transparent. GIF, which has been around a lot longer, is well supported in most browsers, including support for the transparent color. PNG is not yet fully support in the most popular browsers; so although you can specify a transparent colour, the browser may not render it transparently. Instead the actual colour is shown. Thus it is desirable to produce .gif images ? Well, that depends on your attitude to the licensing/legality issues. Consult the following pages to get both sides to the controversy, and make up your own mind: http://burnallgifs.org/ http://www.unisys.com/unisys/lzw/default.asp The long and short of it is that if all browsers were to completely support the free PNG standard, then there would be no need to use the GIF format any more. This may well happen --- but who knows when ? Even then, it would be 3-4 years before it would be reasonable to assume that older versions of the browsers were no longer being used by many people. At this time, LaTeX2HTML would no longer include code for facilitating the production of images in GIF format. *** Anti-aliasing *** Anti-aliasing is the name given to the technique used to "soften the edges" of a low-resolution bitmapped image, resulting in a smoother/cleaner appearance e.g. to the shapes of character glyphs. This is very important for LaTeX2HTML, in which images are created typically as bitmaps at a resolution of 75dpi. Typically the fonts are provided at 600dpi, or as outlines which need to be filled. Clearly some averaging is needed, and the colour of the background has a profound effect on the results obtained. Experiments have shown that it is slightly better to anti-alias black characters against a gray-level of between 20% to 35%, rather than against pure white; i.e. 0%. The figure actually chosen for LaTeX2HTML is a matter of personal taste; it can be adjusted with the Perl variable: $LATEX_COLOR .

The \bodytext command sets the complete contents of the tag, allowing you to set *all* attributes at once, or just those that you want to be different from the default provided by the user's browser. On the other hand, \htmlbody lets you set just single attributes. e.g. \htmlbody{color=blue} \htmlbody{bgcolor=yellow} \htmlcolor{background=mydog.jpg} adds those 3 attribute settings separately, for the same result as: \htmlbody{color=blue,bgcolor=yellow,background=mydog.jpg} or \bodytext with the appropriate syntax. Please try your examples using \htmlbody and report whether you have the same behaviour regarding the spurious Table-of-Contents page.

Perhaps the content of the '/latex2html-99.2beta8/INSTALL' file should be changed. It says: [...] o If your system supports both GIF and PNG generation (this is if you have both pnmtopng and ppmtogif), then the default image format will be PNG. This is because of legal limitations on the GIF format.

I didn't delete the image cache, so the images were not recalculated. The /latex2html-99.2beta8/INSTALL ist perfectly right. Perhaps an extra paragraph like: 'Don't forget to delete images from former runs if you want to change the image format. Image recycling prevents recreation of images even if the image format is changed. You may use the "-no_reuse" switch for this purpose.'

I don't understand perl so I can't provide a patch, but a nice work-around is available. The following latex code produces a correct link: \HTMLcode[href=www.vlsi.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~steffen/, target=\_blank]{A}{You may click to see my homepage. } The backdraw: This is equivalent to \htmladdnormallink, there is no \htmladdnormallinkfoot equivalent. A suggestion for the 'future': Could the \htmladdnormallink...[%1]{%2}{%3} commands be redefined to call \HTMLcode[%1, HREF=%3]{A}{%2} ? There should also be a small change in the section 4.1 'Hyper-links in LaTeX' about the optional argument. This would be a 'quick patch' and allow the latex part to work as usual.

Yes, and no. > > Is there another way to get settings in the .css file? > You must remove the previous .css file first. Then a new .css will be created that includes the new settings. The reason for this is that you can edit the .css separately *after* having run LaTeX2HTML on your job. If you then re-run LaTeX2HTML, you presumably wish to keep the same edits to the .css, so it would be inappropriate to automatically overwrite the .css file with a fresh one. So if you want changes via \htmlsetstyle commands to be preserved, then you must remove the existing stylesheet file (or rename it to something else) and have a new one created. (Use the $STYLESHEET variable to specify the name of the stylesheet file that you wish to use; e.g. one that has been prepared independent of the LaTeX2HTML job, or one that has been built-up as a result of previous jobs.) Use a Makefile to update LaTeX2HTML documents in which there is significant CSS information specified. Have the 'make' code remove the stylesheet before calling upon LaTeX2HTML (with command-line options). I know this isn't the best possible strategy, but it is simple and allows you to do everything that you want with CSS information. Suggestions for improvements and/or alternative strategies, or Perl coding for implementations, are most welcome.

In LaTeX I expect that \symbol{126} is printed as '~'. I don't know about plain TeX, but the result '~}' is not useful, even if you take foreign accents into account. The {} construct should be considered as a grouping element. I tried to trace the latex2html script by inserting 'print""' statements here and there. After the HTMLcode expansion the string \~{} is used as a replacement for \symbol{126}. Some kind of postprocessing is done on these results - but I didn't find the routine which is doing this.

The \HTMLcode is a very good idea, but I NEED a possibility to get all valid html letters in the attribute list. Do you have a tip how to produce the tilde for the url address?

Message-ID: <00102112270400.00885@batman> Hey Do I have an opportunity to convert a tex-file with many formulars to html, without getting thousands of images? Especially in cases with formulars in many rows of the tex-document, it would be great to put all the formulars between rows of plain text into one picture. Up to now latex2html produces many pictures and that takes really much time. I hope somebody can give me a hint. Arne _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
