I see. No problem. I just have to remember to add save_size next
time when installing new version of TL. I need to add this to my
tex4ht cheat sheet.

The time to compile did not change after updating TL. About 2-3 hrs to
compile the HTML, and about 5 minutes for the PDF.  Here is the actual
web page itself

https://www.12000.org/my_notes/solving_ODE/current_version/index.htm

I think the long time due to having many tables. I am not sure why. If I was
using svg for math instead of mathjax, the HTML would take 2-3 days to compile.

OK.

I just posted question about it at tex.stackexchange.com

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/559701/how-to-prevent-hyperlink-from-wrapping-in-fixed-width-column-in-tex4ht

May be this is how tex4ht was before and I did not notice. it is related to link
wrapping inside table. I could not find solution for this so far after
trying for some time.

Thank you
