As you know, pamphlet files on MathAction are treated a
little differently with only a "thumbnail" displayed on
the web page containing links to the pdf and dvi format
generated by LaTeX. Originally we had planned to use
TeX4ht to produce a web page (or set of web pages) from
the pamphlet source but there turned out to be some
technical limitations. It is quite possible with some
additional effort these problems could be solved. If
you are interested about this possibility, please ask.
Please note that Ralf's ALLPROSE does this already, also
using tex4ht.
I am sorry Martin, but I don't understand. ALLPROSE does what
already? The problem referred to above is related to generating
HTML from Axiom pamphlet source that can be used on the Axiom
Wiki. Does Ralf have a version of ALLPROSE that can do that?
If so, could you add some example pages to wiki?
Currently, I don't think that you need ALLPROSE to get the pamphlet
files shown as html. Tex4ht should be quite enough.
The problem I see is that every pamphlet file is a separate thing. No
links between different files. But let's not bother with that now. As I
understood, someone wants an html button for the pamphlet files that
triggers a routine to produce HTML from the .pamphlet.
First of all, we still haven't agreed on a general structure of pamphlet
files. All I have seen is that most (if not all) contain the lines
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{axiom}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}
If for the purpose of translating that file to html you provide an
appropriate axiom.sty (and axiom.4ht) which can be different from the
current existing axiom.sty, then I believe that should be doable.
Let's press the html button.
Then noweave is called to produce .tex.
Then htlatex is called to produce .html. (you might want to call
makeindex/bibtex... in the middle)
I don't see the problem except that tex4ht sometimes needs a little help
if strange commands appear in the LaTeX text.
Or maybe that is not the goal, then please clarify what should be
achieve and what is the input.
Ralf
