Also I suppose the "latex2html ........ .tex" command should include a
"unicode" option in it, as in for example "-html_version4.0,math,unicode,"
when explicitly including hexadecimal codes for Unicode characters in a .tex
file. And the version of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) used in that
command might be important, too, for example "-html_version3.2" or
"-html_version4.0". So for anyone with a successful result and especially
for Lucio Chiappetti, I'd like to know what "latex2html ....... .tex"
command you may have used with a .tex file containing explicit hexadecimal
codes in order to generate any words not using Latin or English-language
characters in a .html file produced by LaTeX2HTML.

Subject: Re: [l2h] I'd like a way to have four Greek words displayed in a
.html file produced by LaTeX2HTML without too much space between adjacent
Greek letters.
Thanks, Nasser M. Abbasi and Lucio Chiappetti, for very kindly taking some
time to write to me with your ideas concerning the problem of how to
obtain Greek words without abnormal-looking spacing between pairs of
letters in such words in a HyperText Markup Language (.hrml) file when
viewed in a Web browser. Nasser, your method of getting a Greek word into
.html output using the computer program htlatex in a command of the form
"htlatex TestFile.tex" gratefully worked for me, too. I found that the
.html output file it produced was located in the same directory as my
test, .tex file. Apparently I already had the program htlatex installed in
my openSUSE-12.2, Linux operating system. Gratefully the reference
numbering appeared equally good for me using either HTLatex (or htlatex)
or LaTeX2HTML. So thanks to you, Nasser, there is one working solution to
getting a Greek word into a .html file.
Thanks, Lucio Chiappetti, for your idea of inputting hexadecimal (probably
Unicode) codes for Greek letters, something you wrote that you did for at
least some Cyrillic or Russian letters. I have what I suppose might be a
variant of your idea that gratefully worked for me. The beginning of it
is I suppose exactly the method you proposed.---Thanks for your reference
to the main Unicode Web site with the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of I
think http://www.unicode.org/ on the Internet! From
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf I gratefully found the
hexadecimal, Unicode Standard-6.2 codes for all of the Greek letters I
wanted to use in my .html file. So for the Greek word chronos, I think
meaning time, and composed of the Greek letters \chi, \rho, omicron, \nu,
omicron, and \varsigma, as all but omicron are entered into a LaTeX, .tex
file (I think for omicron LaTeX may just use the letter "o" from the Latin
or Roman alphabet used in the English language.), here are the hexadecimal
codes for those Greek letters:
chi: 03C7
rho: 03C1
omicron: 03BF
nu: 03BD
again omicron: 03BF
varsigma: 03C2
Following the instructions at http://text-symbols.com/html/Unicode/, I
edited the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) code of the .html file with a
name of the form TestFile.html produced by a command of the form
"latex2html ....-html_version3.2.......... TestFile.tex". In my case I
opened the file with the name of the form TestFile.html in the text editor
Kate in an openSUSE-12.2, Linux operating system and in the place where I
wanted Greek words to appear entered their hexadecimal codes in the
general manner indicated below for just one of the Greek words chronos:
English-language text here
χρονος more English-language
text here.
I paid no attention to the encoding of that .html file. I think the usual
case may be the 8-bit Uniform Transformation Format (UTF-8) encoding for
files I often open in the text editor Kate in my openSUSE, Linux operating
systems over the years. I probably saved the edited file. Then with that
.html file open in my Konqueror Web browser I could gratefully see the
Greek word chronos in Greek letters displayed on that Web page (If that
file was already open in my Konqueror Web browser, then I may have clicked
on the Konqueror Web browser border and then pressed the F5 key of my
computer keyboard in order to refresh that Web page after making the
changes to the HTML source code for that Web page.).
But from the way you have written, Lucio, I suppose that you might instead
have somehow entered the hexadecimal codes for your Cyrillic letters in a
.tex, LaTeX file and executed a "latex2html..... .tex" command on it to
obtain the display of those Cyrillic characters in the .html output file
of LaTeX2HTML. Is this idea correct? If that guess is correct, could you
please include the relevant LaTeX commands which produced such a result
for you?
After reading portions of some Web pages written by other people, I tried
in a few ways to have the combination of LaTeX and LaTeX2HTML produce
Greek words in a .html file produced by LaTeX2HTML. For example, in some
situations I included commands of the following forms, but not all of them
at the same time:
...
\usepackage[mathletters]{ucs} (I found ucs.sty in the directory
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ucs for LaTeX2HTML 1.71 and my version of
LaTeX.)
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} (I found inputenc.sty in the directory
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base for LaTeX2HTML 1.71 and my version of
LaTeX.)
...
\char"03B2 (or)
\unicodechar{03B2} (or)
&x03B2
(or)
\begin{htmlonly}\unicodechar{03C7}\end{htmlonly}
(or)
\begin{htmlonly}\char"03C7\end{htmlonly}
..
\end{document}
But despite my experimenting, I failed to see the Greek letters I wanted
to see in a .html file produced by a "latex2html ........ .tex" command on
a .tex file including one or more hexadecimal codes. So if my guess of at
least what you generally did in the past was correct and you can find what
you did in the past with the Cyrillic letters in a .tex file, please help
with a combination of LaTeX commands and correct syntaxes for them that
yielded the display of Cyrillic letters in a .html file produced by
LaTeX2HTML. Aside from using different Unicode numbers for different
characters, I would not expect the LaTeX procedure to use for Greek
letters to be very different from the procedure you may have used with
Cyrillic letters. Thanks in advance for your searching for what you did
in the past.

I know there is a \latexonly environment in LaTeX2HTML ... I'm not sure
whether there is an \htmlonly or a conditional one (if latex do this if
html do that ... perhaps \latexhtml in conjunction with rawhtml ?). But
you should be able to look it up in the manual.
I assume you know how to deal with the latex part (write word in greek).
My default would be to use math environment and letters like \alpha \beta
etc. Clumsy but should work.
For the HTML part I'd use the &xhhhh; hexadecimal expressions of the
greek letters in Unicode (see www.unicode.org for the tables). I used
this trick to include cyrillic (russian) in some pages. Also clumsy but
works for a few words.
