As soon as I have some report about it, yes. It should even work without
perl : I have compiled texexpand, pstoimg and latex2html thanks to the
ActiveState perl compiler. I'll try to make further tests.

In v. 2002-1, the style files graphics and graphicx are identical.
However, the format of the argument lists for includgraphics differs
between the two packages. This leads to problems when converting complex
graphicx includegraphics. I've attached a revised version of
graphix.perl which processes the arguments more appropriately.

Try using the commandline:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
or even just
latex2html -html_version html3.2,latin2,unicode yourfile.tex

Message-ID: <1029026612.31858.31.camel@darklap>
Hi all,
i wrote a document with latex and ppchtex. ppchtex is great package for
writing texts with chemical structures.
latex2html doesn't support ppchtex style, so i put this in my
/etc/latex2html.conf:
&::process_commands_in_tex (<<_RAW_ARG_CMDS_);
chemie # {}
startchemie # <<\\stopchemie>>
_RAW_ARG_CMDS_
&::process_commands_in_tex (<<_RAW_ARG_CMDS_);
stellechemieein # []
_RAW_ARG_CMDS_
1;
#EOF
this is a typical ppchtex part:
\stellechemieein[groesse=klein,format=klein,breite=passend,hoehe=5500,oben=2000,unten=2000]
\hbox {
\startchemie
\chemie[ONE,DB1,SB46,Z1046][O,C,H_3C,H_3C]
\textunter{Aceton}
\stopchemie
\startchemie
\chemie[SPACE,GIVES,SPACE][+\ OH^-]
\stopchemie
\startchemie
\chemie[ONE,DB1,SB46,Z1046][O,C,H_3C,^-H_2C]
\textunter{Carbanion}
\stopchemie
\startchemie
\chemie[SPACE,PLUS,SPACE,CHEM][H_2O]
\stopchemie
}
I get an image for every \startchemie .. \stopchemie part and here is
the problem. The images have all a different height. This looks very
ugly in a browser because i can't center the images verticaly.
Is it possible to center the images ? The dvi file looks quite nice but
the html translation not :/ Maybe my definitions in /etc/latex2html.conf
are wrong.
Thanks for your time,
Nils

Yes, this will give individual images for these (pseudo-)environments.

You want the images to be side-by-side, yes ?
Then HTML requires that you use a
with cells centred vertically;
that is valign="middle" .
You can get this consistently in LaTeX by loading the {array} package
and using the m (='middle') column parameter:
\usepackage{array} % goes in the preamble
\begin{tabular}{m{.2\textwidth}m{.2\textwidth}m{.2\textwidth}m{.2\textwidth}}
\startchemie
\chemie[ONE,DB1,SB46,Z1046][O,C,H_3C,H_3C]
\textunter{Aceton}
\stopchemie
&
\startchemie
\chemie[SPACE,GIVES,SPACE][+\ OH^-]
\stopchemie
&
\startchemie
\chemie[ONE,DB1,SB46,Z1046][O,C,H_3C,^-H_2C]
\textunter{Carbanion}
\stopchemie
&
\startchemie
\chemie[SPACE,PLUS,SPACE,CHEM][H_2O]
\stopchemie
\end{tabular}
> Is it possible to center the images ? The dvi file looks quite nice but

You may need to tinker a bit with the widths, to avoid overlaps
or log-file messages.
Or you may want to move the captions into a separate row in the tabular,
either above of below the images.

Subject: [l2h] Bug in \includegraphics handling
Message-ID: <200208111356.g7BDu3x21675@tug.org>
Hi,
unfortunately I did not get a single response to my previous mail "Problems
with lyx and latex2html". So here a small summary: I use lyx to write a
complex document and export it from there to latex. I use LaTeX2HTML Version
2K.1beta (1.62) (the one in Mandrake 8.2) to transform this into a set of
HTML pages. Then I run into a problem...
I had more time to test and found out that if I have
\includegraphics{somegraphic.ps}
in the latex version of my document, latex2html fails to convert the image.
But, if I scale the image in lyx it exports to
\resizebox*{0.05\textwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{somegraphic.ps}}
and suddenly latex2html works correctly!
So, basically latex2html seems to have a problem with the single
\includegraphics statement. Could anyone on this list please verify this
problem or even better, fix it?
Greetings & thanks a lot for an otherwise very helpful program!
Ronny

I wonder how many people on this list use Lyx ?
I give it all credit: without it I would probably not (as soon) have
discovered LaTex. My frustrations with what it was doing to my input (in an
admittedly earlier version than I suspect is around today) encouraged me to
`lift the bonnet' (or `lift the hood', if you must) and try and tinker with
the detail. So thanks to Lyx I learnt Latex.

If you want some help, it would be better to provide an _entire_ LaTex file
that produces the faulty output. That is take the fault producing file make a
copy and then start deleting irrelevant text, to arrive at a minimalist
example (of twenty or thirty lines?).
This is also an excellent way of finding bugs -if you test after each
deletion.
Sorry, not an answer, but hopefully a ?direction.

Michael Chapman.

There are two approaches. The simplest is to change the way you
reference the package. If you use
\usepackage{html,htmllist,color,makeidx,epsfig}
\input{orieweb.sty}
LaTeX2HTML will load orieweb.sty and attempt to process it. You may
have to muck around with \makeatletter and \makeatother though.
My solution for the Python documentation was to supply Perl support
for both my additional packages and the document classes I define.
This works well, and let's the LaTeX documents use the conventional
LaTeX way of doing things. It probably makes more sense if there are
going to be several documents using the package.
The painful part, of course, is that using this approach means that
you need to write Perl code to support all of the markup constructs
defined in the package it's emulating, and that can be painful at
times. If there's a lot of semantic processing that can happen at
document-formatting time, it can be a real boon.

Subject: [l2h] Install LaTeX2HTML on Windows XP
Message-ID: <20020813220251.1529.qmail@web14203.mail.yahoo.com>
Hi,
I tried to install LaTeX2HTML on my Windows XP, but
could not work it out.
I downloaded latex2html-2002-1.tar.gz from CTAN and
unzip it to C:\Download\latex2html-2002-1. I looked up
on the mailing list archive and I followed the
instructions on
http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2h.htm
because I also use MiK-TeX and the MiK-TeX has worked
well so far before I tried to install LaTeX2HTML.
So I installed Perl and Netpbm, and edited prefs.pm as
suggested. Maybe the problem is that I installed
Mik-TeX under Program File directory and config.bat
seemed to have trouble to get the version number of
dvips (which is 5.86). It says unknown version number.
I manually add it in config/config.pl in the DVIPS
session:
my $version = '5.86';
I re-ran config.bat and this seemed to be fixed. I got
same information in the log file as in the above
instruction, except a few more lines with warning
message:
checking for ppmtojpeg... no
Warning: You cannot directly translate/modify graphics

checking for pnmcut... \texfiles\netpbm\bin\pnmcut.exe

checking for xwdtopnm...
\texfiles\netpbm\bin\xwdtopnm.exe
Then endless problems came. First of all I never ran
test.bat correctly. The main problem is that images
cannot be created. I checked the subdirectory of
l2htest/; there was only images.tex, no images.log
created by latex. I ran images.tex by command latex
manually, created images.log and re-ran latex2html.
Now the problem was more clear: there were no images
created--CSS style with those NEXT/CONTENT icons
appeared, but no equations and images. I looked up the
manual and tried my best to look for the images
everywhere possible, but found nothing.
I just tried the next step for curiosity, since I had
no way to successfully ran test.bat. I installed
LaTeX2HTML, added latex2html.bat to $PATH, moved files
under TEXTINPUT/ and edited l2hconf.pm. However, I
still could only correctly ran latex2html in the
installed directory and the unzipped temporary
directory. If I ran it anywhere else, I got the error
message:
texexpand V2002-1 (Revision 1.11)
texexpand: Error: More than one input file specified.
texexpand failed: No such file or directory
Did I forget to configure something above? Or I
couldn't run latex2html under other directories such
as My Document? Were all these problems caused by
manually adding the version number of dvips?
Thanks. - Daniel

This is a very nice idea. I tried it myself, but I am not very experienced
especially in Perl. So I had a lot of trouble to find out the interface for
a Perl script to be written. Is there any documentation about that?

I think the problem has to do with using long file names, particularly
with spaces in them. Texexpand can't cope with long file names; it
probably believes that C:\My Documents refers to more than one file,
delimited by the space. So I'm afraid that you will need to put tex
documents to be converted into a different directory.
I know that MiKTeX has been designed to cope with long file names but, I
was under the impression that, following earlier problems with using
C:\Program Files, the installation defaults to c:\texmf, but my
information could well be out-of-date.
I presume that when you manually added the version of dvips you also
ensured that the path $DVIPS in l2hconf.pm is correct? I am not entirely
sure that latex2html will be happy though with the long file name.
I'm also not sure where you have chosen to install to latex2html. Is it
to a short-named file directory (so that no occurrences of ~ appear in
the 8.3 version)? If not try re-installing latex2html to such a
directory.
In a post in January 2001 (missing from the archive) it was
reported that:
"although the problem wasn't with the spaces (the full path was
c:\programme\localtexmf\latex2html) but with the number of the letters:
As soon as I installed LaTeX2HTML into c:\l2h everything worked fine."
If this doesn't work it may mean that MiKTeX will need to be
re-installed to c:\texmf. I would be interested to hear if anybody has
got latex2html working with MiKTeX installed in C:\Program Files.
Luis Seidel's advice that "it is probably a good idea to avoid
directories or folders with spaces (e.g., Program Files)" is worth
following. I would extend it to any program that involves TeX in some
way. At the very least it will eliminate this as a possible source for
errors.

I don't consider myself a Perl programmer generally, either, but I
had some examples to work from, and extended & refactored that
extensively, a little bit at a time.
Perl itself, as painful as it is for a Python programmer to use, is
not the hard part of LaTeX2HTML. The difficult part is understanding
what LaTeX2HTML is doing, and the extension API is massively
underdocumented. I reverse engineered a lot based on the support for
specific markup in the LaTeX2HTML implementation, and asked a lot of
questions here.

Thanks a lot. After re-installed MikTeX in another
directory with short name, I made one more step:
config.bat could read the version of dvips. However,
the images still didn't show up. Because of the
default setting of the platform, the default value of
$TMP in l2hconf.pm is C:\\DOCUME~1\\DANIEL~1\\Temp,
which still contains long directory name. So I changed
it to C:\\tmp\L2Himg (BTW, I also changed the default
image type to gif; default png didn't work either) and
ran it in debug mode. I could find that img001.ps and
img002.ps were in the temporary directory along with
two p*.pnm files and two p*.t00 files. test -debug
showed that pnmcrop.exe wanted p*.t01 for image
conversion. How do I fix this?
My Ghostscript version is 7.03 and Netpbm version is
10.6.
Thanks. - Daniel

Have a look at the thread 'Cannot convert images in test sample file' at
http://tug.org/pipermail/latex2html/2001-November/thread.html to see if
that helps at all.
There have been a number of similar reports but I'm not sure anyone has
totally solved it as I don't think it's a problem for all Win NT/2000/XP
users.
In pstoimgbat is 'my $def_tmp' correct or is it still pointing to
C:\\DOCUME~1\\DANIEL~1\\Temp?
In fact I would go through all the *.bat directories in \bin and check
that the paths there are correct and don't involve ~ .

Dear LATEX2HTML-installers,
When trying to install LaTeX2HTML on different Windows-Systems
(Win95, Win 98, Win2000, WinXP) according to the manual of
Mr. Luis Seidel, I always made following experience:
Install.bat and Test.bat or image-conversion in general always failed when
a release of ActiveStates ActivePerl newer than build 503 was installed.
Beneath other things, also problems with the numbering of the ps-images
occured.
Using the newer builds, e.g. the newest one (633 I think), lead to errors
and failures.
I do not know the reason for this behavior. Nevertheless I thought it was a
good idea to tell this to the newsgroup. Probably somebody else can comment
on this.
When using ActivePerl build 503 I had no problems with long directory-names
or '~' .
Another Problem was that when installing a newer version of netpbm,
png-images were created with some ugly grey backgrounds and black frames.
They also were not placed correctly.
The fix which is offered by Shigeharu Takeno helped. It can be found in the
mailing-list-archive of www.LaTex2html.org ,

Would Daniel Young or anyone else having problems with image generation
using Windows like to install an older version of Perl to see if it
solves their problem? Older versions can be found at
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.005/Intel/ with
the number in the filename giving the build.
If this works then this would be a good workaround until the cause of
the problem is found. If it also allows long file names then that would
be fascinating.

Subject: [l2h] Image directory is not transferable
Message-ID:
Hello,
I have a problem. I am a complete newbie to latex2html so i hope this
does not sound too silly. I have a latex document with various images
in it. When I run latex2html on it with the default settings it
produces a great html document. The problem is that when I transfer it
to my website server the images (not the maths symbols etc. just the
actually images) in the html point to where they were on my home machine
e.g. /home/daniel/latexdoc/. As my home machine isn't connected to the
web permeantly it means that the images become broken links.
Is there anyway to get the images to be self-contained in the directory
produced by latex2html ao that I can just copy the directory to my
webserver and it work? I can go through the entire html changing the
links but this is pretty tiresome.
Thanks

Hi,
I tried to install LaTeX2HTML on Windows XP.
After I did what I could do, I could only get html
files within the directory of installed latex2html;
when I ran latex2html in other directories, I only got
a directory with an empty subdirectory TMP and nothing
else. Even for those html files, some texts cannot be
properly displayed and some tags like <#460#> appear.
Below is how I installed the LaTeX2HTML.
I downloaded latex2html-2002-1.tar.gz from CTAN and
unzip it to C:\Download\latex2html-2002-1. Because I
feel the README and INSTALL are a little bit hard to
follow and I am using MiK-TeX, I used the instructions
on http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2h.htm.
I believe I exactly followed the instructions and
change the $path environment variable, except changing
the some paths according to my original setting of
MiK-TeX. The problem is when I tried the test.bat,
there is no pstoimg.bat to check. I put the results of
configuration below:

Looking at your config.log it is clear that the configuration program
can't find anything that resides in C:\Program Files. So you have 2
options:
1. Try an older version of Perl as suggested by Ulrich Diez and
mentioned in my earlier message
http://tug.org/pipermail/latex2html/2002-August/001979.html where it may
be possible to use long path names
and/or
2. Reinstall Miktex, Ghostscript and all the other programs in
directories with short file names (eg c:\texmf, c:\gs etc) and tell the
config program you want Latex2html in eg c:\l2h. Ensure that you have
completely uninstalled all the programs (including Latex2html
installation) so that there is no possibility of programs being found in
the old paths.
I hope this will work. I will be particularly interested if option 1
works with long file names.

FWIW, the way we solve this is to use relative paths in the latex
document. For example:
\includegraphics[height=3in]{figures/lmplot_anim}
Note that it *doesn't* say
\includegraphics[height=3in]{users/weems/figures/lmplot_anim}
The relative path produces html that reads:
SRC="../figures/lmplot_anim.gif"
Then when I copy from one machine to another, I copy the html folders
and the figures folder. As long as the two folders remain in the same
location relative to each other, the html picks up the images
just fine.
HTH.

Message-ID: <20020816013236.25265.qmail@web14201.mail.yahoo.com>
Well, this time things just don't work out. I
downloaded and installed Active Perl 503 and even 469,
which is the oldest one I could find from the site.
However, test.bat -debug still said p.t01 not
found. I hope that this has nothing to do with the
directory name since this time I set
$prefs{'TMPSPACE'} = 'C:\\tmp\\L2Himg';
in prefs.pm and the default temporary directory in all
subsequent files (l2hconf.pm, pstoimg.bat) changed to
that value; plus, I found the *.ps and p.pnm in
the temporary directory.
The similar issue was stated in "Cannot convert images
in test sample file" of the 2001-November Archive, but
the following discussions seemed to focus on how to
find the temporary directory instead of the problem of
what pnmcrop.exe did. Although test.bat -debug said
that
GS>Running "C:\texfiles\netpbm\bin\pnmcrop.exe
-verbose < C:\tmp\L2Himg\l2h896\p488.pnm >
C:\tmp\L2img\l2h896\p488.t01"
this isn't true. The output files were actually
p.t00 instead of p.t01. No wonder why
p.t01 files not found and images couldn't be
converted. Manually, this command works as expected,
but in .bat file it strangely creates p.t00
files. Maybe that is a problem for NT or XP. The
question is that how do we force it to create .t01
files in the .bat file.
Thanks. -Daniel

I recall having similar problems in the past. Oddly, reinstalling everything
(MikTeX, GS, Pearl, netpbm, L2H) to the same drive letter resolved the
problem. Doesn't make sense, I know, but I recreated the scenario no less
than 3 times with the same results. Now that everything is on the same
logical drive (separate from the system partition, BTW) it all works
perfectly. I did, however, keep short directory names on everything. I
currently have on NT4:
L2H 2002-1 (1.68)
GS 7.04
netpbm 10.6
ActivePerl 5.6.1.631
...and they are all installed on a separate NTFS partition from the system
partition. In L2H the temp is set to l2htemp (completely separate from the
NT tmp environment variable, BTW).
Also, since we are on the subject of Windows, you may notice (if you ever get
it working that is) that the default name for the local initialization file,
.latex2html-init, does not sit well with Windows (at least not w/ NT so I
assume not w/ 9x or XP either). After install, you may notice that the file
is actually created as dot.latex2html-init. Evidently NT parses the leading
period as a literal dot. If you don't plan on needing local customizations
(i.e. control everything w/ l2hconf.pm) then this *shouldn't*, in theory, be
an issue. But it can easily be resolved by renaming the file to something
friendly to NT (and for that matter, DOS) , e.g. l2hinit in my case. Then,
you can tell L2H about the change via the l2hconf.pm file by adding:
$INIT_FILE_NAME = $ENV{'L2HINIT_NAME'} || 'l2hinit';
Notice if you use the suggested syntax in the remarks in l2hconf.pm it will
not work, but the above syntax does work (courtesy of Ross, thanks). BTW
ROSS, it would be nice if this was incorporated in a future release as the
default for Windows users.
All that said, I do find it strange that seemingly identical configurations
will run on one Windows box and not another which IMO implies the
configurations are *not* identical, of course. The $64K question is, *what*
is different about my configuration which runs L2H perfectly, from other
configurations which do not?

Darrell

Yes; your image is too large for the page-height, causing a blank
page to be ejected, which then gets cropped to nothing:

either scale down the image in the LaTeX source,
or consult the manual about the $PAPERSIZE variable.

Hi,
Is there any way to generate links to external graphics without getting
the full path? (ie. so that we can make the generated html output folder
location independent?) I have this working for the nav images, but am not
sure of any switch that does the same thing for external images.

Do you mean graphics using \htmladdimg
which show in the HTML but not in a paper version ?
In this case, if the directory is nearby, you just give the relative
path; e.g.
\htmladdimg[....any options....]{../images/clouds.jpg}
Note that you need to give the path from where the HTML pages
will be accessed --- not from where the LaTeX source resides.
For images using \includegraphics there is the \graphicspath
command, that is used to list paths to search for images.
This applies to both LaTeX and LaTeX2HTML.
LaTeX2HTML tries to use a relative path whenever it can.
Besides, the web-server uses a different file-system to the
local operating system, so full paths can be meaningless.

I am using external .png images in generating a provincial curriculum for
both a website and PDF printing. The problem is with the HTML
generation...
the LaTeX looks like:
\includegraphics{cycle.png}
but generated output looks like:
<img src="/root/curriculum/cycle.png">
(I'm using entities since I don't know how this will render in your email
client)
Just a while ago I found that by changing the setting in "graphicx.perl"
to $COPY_GRAPHICS = 1 the graphic files are copied and the generated HTML
now has the correct local directory path (i.e. src="cycle.png")
However, is this the "right way" to do it, since this just seems to be a
"side effect" of the copying process, but is exactly what I want.
Thanks,
Les Richardson
PS. Is there any work being done by anyone to generate MathML from LaTeX?
I'm not even sure if there is a good "correspondence" between TeX and
MathML. Just a thought.

I have had similar problems, but the message "illegal seek" appeared
even when converting equations to .png figure format.
Why that?

I'm not particularly concerned about a4wide at the moment, but algorithmic

The bullet command appears to be coming out of some macro -- I haven't been

Subject: [l2h] Version Numbers and Changelog
Message-ID: <20020820093151.5747.qmail@roadrunner.argonsoft.de>
Hi Ross,
I noticed that this weekend another new l2h release archive was put onto
the ftp. Wouldn't it be better to increase the version number and update
the changelog (which has its last entry for 0.98, BTW)?
A versioning would give more transparency about what has changed when,
and which release includes what bugfixes.
As l2h is the de-facto standard tool for LaTeX to HTML conversion, it
would be nothing strange if it would be traceable in terms of
development.
And I really would like to thank you for some bugfixes, but don't want
to run a diff each time :-)
best regards

Following the implementation of several new features,
and some bug-fixes, the current version of LaTeX2HTML
has now been increased to version 2002-2.
The latest entry in the history log for latex2html.pin reads as follows:
revision 1.69
date: 2002/08/17 05:56:57; author: RRM; state: Exp; lines: +219 -64
-- fixed a problem with \etalchar in .bbl files
-- implemented multiple-authors and tabular layout on the title-page
-- beware of \r\n combinations after % comments
-- greater care about the styles used with theorem-like environments
-- use $REFRESH_STYLES variable to force remaking .css file on each run
-- fixed problem with hyperlink targets, with TOCs and mini-tocs in frames
-- don't use &replace_strange_accents automatically, unless latin1
-- work around the repository problem with graphicx.perl
read a file graphixx.perl instead, if it exists
-- read latin1.pl earlier, but don't set the $CHARSET
this makes it easier to generate pages with non-latin1 encodings
-- other minor cleanups in some coding
Other new files include:
hebrew.pl for support of the iso-8859-8i charset
graphixx.perl to provide a way to overcome the repository problem
of serving graphics.perl instead of graphicx.perl
Enjoy using LaTeX2HTML,

Subject: [l2h] Problem with \HTMLcode and APPLET attributes
Message-ID: <200208210604.g7L64PA433881@mundook.cs.mu.OZ.AU>
Hi LaTeX2HTMLarians,
I'm doing some lecture notes about Java applets, and obviously
want to conditionalize between the online HTML version, which
has a live applet and a link to the source code, and the printed
LaTeX version, which has just a screen-grab of the applet with
the source code included verbatim. (Both versions show the
literal mark-up needed.)
I could do that fine with the right combination of latexonly,
htmlonly and rawhtml environments, but that requires needlessly
repeating the applet's basename and the width and height. So I
decided to abstract that into a macro, parametrized by the
applet's basename, width and height. That required using
\HTMLcode to parameterize the generated raw HTML. Here I get
problems. This simple LaTeX file:
================================================================
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{html}
\begin{document}
\HTMLcode[CODE=foo,WIDTH=256,HEIGHT=64]{APPLET}{}
\end{document}
================================================================
sends LaTeX2HTML into an infinite loop (recursion?) endlessly
printing:
*** attributes CODE,HEIGHT,WIDTH are required for
