Perhaps I could add a remark about this on the man page. I don't think it is a good idea to move too many of the scripts in /usr/share/tex4ht to /usr/bin. We have already had one problem with /usr/bin/ht conflicting with another entirely un-related package. > I think the most common input format for tex4ht would be a LaTeX file, > and the most common output format would be either xhtml or > OpenDocument (odt).

If there is some consensus on this then I suppose one could consider adding _only_ oolatex to /usr/bin. However, I am afraid that this may then lead to requests from users of ConTeXt and so on :-) The older bug #450415 was closed since the use of mk4ht was augmented and documented on the manpage. On the same, I am downgrading this bug report to wishlist. Suggestions and criticisms welcome! Kapil. --
