Chapter 1 before the Table of contents
Hi
I am using tex4ht for publishing html documents from latex documents (command htlatex)
To get a blue chapter, I added to the preamble the following :
\usepackage{color}
\let\myChapter\chapter
\renewcommand\chapter[1]{%
\myChaper[#1]{\protect\textcolor{blue}{#1}}%
}
\let\myTOC\tableofcontents
\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{%
\let\chapter\myChapter
\myTOC
\renewcommand\chapter[1]{%
\myChapter[##1]{\protect\textcolor{blue}{##1}}%
}%
}
To my surprise, Chapter 1 starts before the table of contents. It includes only a
star and the real chapter 1 becomes chapter 2.

minimised toc for each chapter
Hi lyxers, I think someone has faced with this problem, but I can't get out of the solution in the archives... I would like to put, for each chapter, a minimised TOC (with section, subsection for instance) after the title of the chapter. This TOC should use the same layout then the one of the main document and shoud be separate from chapter title and beginning of the text with vertical lines... Any suggestion would be great! J. Ph.

Chapter 1 before the Table of contents
Hi
I am using tex4ht for publishing html documents from latex documents (command htlatex)
To get a blue chapter, I added to the preamble the following :
\usepackage{color}
\let\myChapter\chapter
\renewcommand\chapter[1]{%
\myChaper[#1]{\protect\textcolor{blue}{#1}}%
}
\let\myTOC\tableofcontents
\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{%
\let\chapter\myChapter
\myTOC
\renewcommand\chapter[1]{%
\myChapter[##1]{\protect\textcolor{blue}{##1}}%
}%
}
To my surprise, Chapter 1 starts before the table of contents. It includes only a
star and the real chapter 1 becomes chapter 2.
