Bug Fixes and Comments

• The zipped file newt4ht.zip offers the following modified files.
  • ‘tex4ht.c’ (January 23, 2006)
    • ‘tex4ht.exe’ binaries for MS win32 (January 23, 2006)
    • ‘tex4ht’ kpathsea binaries for mac OS (failed to find kpathsea)
    • ‘tex4ht’ kpathsea binaries for linux (January 03, 2006)

  • ‘t4ht.c’ (January 04, 2006)
    • ‘t4ht.exe’ MS win32 (January 04, 2006)
    • ‘t4ht’ kpathsea mac OS X (failed to find kpathsea)
    • ‘t4ht’ kpathsea linux (January 04, 2006)

  • ‘tex4ht.env’ (June 19, 2006)
  • ‘mk4ht’ (June 19, 2006)
  • ‘ht*’ scripts (June 19, 2006)
  • ‘texmf/tex4ht/bin/*’ (June 19, 2006)
  • ‘texmf/tex4ht/xttl/*.class’ (June 19, 2006)
  • ‘tex4ht.sty’ (Jan 19, 2006)
  • ‘*.4ht’ (June 19, 2006)

• The ‘*.htf’ fonts are available at htf.zip (Apr 26, 2006).

• The literate sources of TEX4ht are at tex4ht-lit.zip.

• A complete modified distribution can be downloaded from tex4ht.tar.gz or tex4ht-1.0.2006_06_19_1646.tar.gz. (The two pointers refer to the same file. The time stamped name is for tools that automatically scan the site for changed versions.)

• To request expanded usage of unicode values in iso-8859-1 output employ commands similar to
  htlatex file "" "iso8859/1/charset/uni/!"

  or introduce a similar charset path in tex4ht.env. Otherwise, non iso-8859-1 characters might obtain bitmap representations.

• The dvipng utility might be activated for bitmap constructions through a request ‘-cdvipng’ in the third options list. For instance,
  htlatex file "" "" "-cdvipng"

  This utility is reported to produce fast high quality output with much smaller files than other convertors.

• A jsMath mode of output may be requested with instructions similar to the following one.
  htlatex file "xhtml,jsmath" " -cmozhtf"

• The file tex4ht-auto-script.tex in tex4ht-lit.zip offers examples of bash scripts that automatically determine the number of compilations needed from LaTeX (contributed by Kai-Mikael Jää-Aro).
• The OpenDocument standard is now used as a default format for the OpenOffice output mode. The older sxw output can be requested with the ‘oo1’ command line option.
• The subtrees new ‘texmf/tex4ht/bin/*’ and ‘texmf/tex4ht/xttl/*.class’ introduced on 23 January 2006 are currently needed just to support speech and DocBook output modes of tex4ht. These subtrees eventually will be needed for the general TeX4ht environment. The extension assumes that the Java environment is available.
