[Re] problem with tex4ht ### SOLVED ###
From: Ares [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello everyone,
I wrote a nice user manual for my application in LyX and I wanted to
translate it to html to inlcude it direclty in the user interface (I
know pdf with hyperref can do wonderful things but I want to play with
html now).
After some trouble (always the same problem of compatibility of
hyperref package) I manage to have a good html by:
1. exporting foo.lyx to foo.tex (plain)
2. latex foo
3. bibtex foo
3. latex foo
4. latex foo
3. htlatex foo html
except that figures look very bad (not all) as I suspect they are
converted from png to eps to jpg and resized as well somewhere. but
this is not my concern now.
try
\usepackage{graphicx}
in the preamble, and
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.png,.eps,.ps}
in your document. This shall avoid useless file conversions.
I try to do:
htlatex foo html,2,frames
as suggested in the tex4ht doc
(file:///C:/Programmi/MiKTeX%202.5/doc/tex4ht/tex4ht/mn.html) to
break up the output into separate web pages, in accordance to the two
top sectioning levels of the document and to place the content and
table of contents in separate frames.
what I get is a single file, in one single frame.
The funny thing is that I managed to achive the desired result some
time ago on the same machine. by the way I'm on WinXP, LyX 1.4.3,
freshly updated MiKTeX 2.5
To solve this problem, try renaming the htlatex.exe file (which is
equivalent to deleting it while saving it for later) and moving the
htlatex.bat file to the htlatex.exe folder (you have to locate these
two files - exe and bat - on your machine). thanks to Eitan M. Gurari.

yep I did that and will post any further hints to this list.
Ok, Eitan Gurari replied to my email and here's the promised follow-up:
first some interesting news (?) about eps in oolatex:
eitanThe current version of tex4ht
(http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/bugfixes.html) should
load the eps pictures into the sxw files without conversions, so for
such files the G-scripts in tex4ht.env are not relevant. If the
conversion to DOC doesn't support EPS I would argue that the problem
is with the conversion utility as OpenOffice seems to be satisfied
with such files.
/eitan
current here refers to April/May 2005 I guess. Afai understand the
non-bugfix distribution of February doesn't do that, or at least
otherwise I cannot make sense of the documentation.
With respect to my eps-from-latex-to-doc-via-sxw/openoffice-problem he's
right, it's an openoffice bug if they don't convert the embedded
eps-images correctly. Nevertheless he apparently added a user option as
a workaround:
eitanI modified the bugfixes distribution of tex4ht to allow the user to
override the default setting through an instruction of the form
\Configure{graphics*} {eps} {}. In such a case, the G-script of the
tex4ht.env will be applied to the eps files.
/eitan
Now this apparently means a post May-29th-2005 distribution. I'm still a
tex4ht-newbie, but it seems to me that in order to use this
\Configure-thing you must either include it in the latex source file, or
you load a config-file which however means you cannot use the
oolatex-shortcut. (I'd love to be corrected on this one.)
Finally he explained how to choose between the g-scripts in tex4ht.env,
which may have been obvious to others, but not to me:
eitan
there are two options: convert.../convert and
netpbm.../netpbm. The first one is chosen because the convert
tag and /convert end tag are preceded by spaces. If the spaces are
placed instead before netpbm and /netpbm then the second option
will take over.
/eitan
Hope this is of value for somebody,
sven

problem with tex4ht / oolatex (graphics conversion to word-doc)
hi, slightly OT here (just latex without lyx), but maybe somebody can help or direct me to a more appropriate place to ask: I use tex4ht to convert a latex document to MS-Word by exporting it to a sxw-file (oolatex command), and then save that as a Word doc with Staroffice/Openoffice. Most of it works quite well (to my surprise). The remaining problem I have is graphics conversion. (I have ghostscript and imagemagick installed -- oh, btw this is on windows 2k.) If I start out with standard eps-files (tex4ht doesn't appear to work with pdflatex, right?), I can get them included into the Openoffice-sxw such that they get printed (although they don't show up on screen). However, after converting to doc they are lost. so my questions: 1) is it normal not to have a preview or bitmap or anything of the eps-graphics in the openoffice output? 2) I looked (and already had to make some adjustments) in the tex4ht.env file, where it says choose one G-script (this is related to graphics conversion); how do I do that? (and which?) 3) any other hints? thanks much and have a good weekend -sven
