[tex4ht] is it possible to define a Latex environment, where one can issue direct HTML code in it for tex4ht only?

[Jagath AR]

Hi Nasser,
Will this work for you:

\documentclass[12pt]{book}%
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{listings}
%\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{moreverb}

\def\putVerb{%
  \HCode{<PRE>}%
  \verbatiminput{a.tex}%
  \HCode{</PRE>}%
}

\ifdefined\HCode
  \newenvironment{code}
  {\verbatimwrite{a.tex}}
  {\endverbatimwrite
  \aftergroup\putVerb}
\else
  \lstnewenvironment{code}
  {\lstset{language=matlab}}
  {}
\fi

\begin{document}
\begin{code}
X=10;
Y=10;
\end{code}
or
\begin{code}
X=100;
Y=200;
\end{code}

\end{document}

Regards
Jagath
