​That is terrible! But, it contradicts with my own experience. At work, we
do large documents (on an average 300 pages long, 800-1000 bibliographic
items, 500 to 800 equations, very complex math, large number of figures,
double column output) on a daily basis, but it takes a few seconds to
generate Elsevier XML output. Recently, another article with 350 pages, ~70
figures, four or five very long tables each spanning several pages, 350 bib
items, several hundred cross references, but very few math, took only 12
secs for three runs of TeX4ht to generate NLM XML output on a server where
at least 50 users are working simultaneously using same resources. The only
documents that take, say, 60 secs or a bit more time are documents with
atomic and nuclear data tables, each table running to 200 pages typically!
Otherwise, tex4ht run is a breeze in my experience that too on a server
shared by at least forty to fifty users at a time.

​
It is more of ​an impractical approach to tex4ht. The \Configure mechanism
in tex4ht relies on seeding of configure hooks in the original macros of a
given package used in the document. Here the question is who will do the
seeding. Eiten had done it extensively for around 400 and odd packages
popular during his time. Every day, several packages get updated, newer
packages get released, people do use many of these at their will and
freedom. Hence, in the absence of *.4ht's that have hooks-seeded functions
of newly released/revised packages, it is obvious that tex4ht will break
down. I have seen documents that use packages like xstring, breqn,
stackengine, tabstackengine, siunitex, acronym, etc at work and we are
expected to generate XML out of these documents.  Many packages like
siunitex, acronym, breqn are now written in expl3 which is another
challenge.

I would consider tex4ht as a backend. Many packages sadly lack the driver
(*.4ht) for this backend. The best people to write this backend are the
authors of these packages since others need more time and in-depth
knowledge of these packages to write backend drivers.

This being the reality, personally I have chosen to redefine macros from
different packages, in an add-on configuration to be used for XML/HTML
generation. I agree that this is not the right way or preferred way, but
practically that is the only solution when one is expected to handle
hundreds of documents every day with several funny packages and functions
profusely used. This way, tex4ht works wonderfully well with minimal effort
for me and I am sure, tex4ht is the best engine among all that would
generate another markup from TeX documents.

In view of the above, I suggest that we would request authors to provide
the backend driver of their packages for tex4ht. This is the only
practically feasible solution. An example would be hyperref, the primary
author of this package (Sebastian Rahtz) wrote text4ht driver also since
Sebastian was a big user and admirer of tex4ht.

The tex4ht team might come up with necessary documentation of how to write
.4ht for a package that would largely help authors. If each author spends a
few more minutes to do their bit, usage of tex4ht will be pleasure then.
Since HTML is gaining more popularity/usage owing to support of smart
devices and for its re-flowing ability without losing format features to
suit the dimensions of device screens (a severe handicap of PDF), authors
shall invest a bit more energy to provide tex4ht support which is as
essential as the one provided for outputs like PDF.

Secondly, the permissive nature of TeX/LaTeX. $a_{\bf n}$ will create the
correct output in pdf, but will not generate the right kind of output in
MathML which should be like.

  

  
a
  
  

  n

  

  

The user needs to tag math as $a_{\mathbf{n}}$ for perfect MathML output
without intervention.  Another common example found in documents is $(a
$), this would be passed by TeX, but not MathML since the closing
parenthesis is outside math. Prof William Hammond has been campaigning for
profiled LaTeX for several years now, but many users are hardly bothered
since they expect other systems to adopt to their non-standard tagging
methods. This can only result in a frustrating experience with tex4ht
unfortunately.

​Entirely agree with you. Maybe we can provide an extra package for tikz
(owing to its extensive usage) to write out tikz picture sources to an
external TeX file to make it easier enough to process separately, generate
pdf and convert to desired graphic format. The package will also flag the
figures automatically in HTML output.  All can be done in one go if the
user dares to invoke shell-escape.

Those can be safely considered final. I have tested all the example

the lesser used options might trigger a bug in future. We shall not be

Can you please add this as a feature request at TeX4ht project?

  https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/projects/tex4ht

One of the developers might take this up when he gets sufficient time. If
not, the request will be forgotten and will remain unattended.

Not sure, if making \HCode a \long\def will solve the problem, because,
\HCode gets redefined at several places and within other definitions and
environments.

I think, \ScriptEnv is the best way to inject any kind of source code into
output.

OK. I misunderstood your problem. I think, this should solve your problem:

 Please try this:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\ScriptEnv{html}
 {\NoFonts\hfill\break}
 {\EndNoFonts}

\begin{html}
This is HTML head 2

I was trying to generate a *.tsv for my language, Malayalam (code block
U+0D00 to U+0D7F) as per your instructions. The following line represents a
character in the extracted table from http://www.utf8-chartable.de:

U+0D05അ224 180 133
But the output file generated by the lua script had following line:

  \newunicodechar{അ}{\HChar{224}\HChar{180}}

This does not seem to be correct to me. Is this OK? I am curious to use
your technique for generating epub books for a hobby project which is
available at:

  http://books.sayahna.org/ml

All the epub books available there are generated by TeX4ht, you can
download any book and explode to see the *,xhtml files.

I would entirely agree with you, Karl. It is not an easy task to change the
'ht' command which is called by several scripts, some of which we know,
some we don't. Further to that, thousands of people who use TeX4ht might
have defined custom commands which internally calls ht. So, an improper
change of name can cause instances of terrible breakdown.

As you have rightly pointed out, people should not have chosen two or three
letter names for binaries or the distributions can make necessary changes

Eitan's configurations for markup formats other than html are only proof of
concept that users may extend as much as they want. We can't expect him to
maintain all the configurations to generate perfect XML's as per their
respective DTD's, nor can the current maintainers accomplish it. You are

I would recommend to keep a custom definition for keywords kind of things
and hence \maketitle too in your custom *.cfg since each document class has
its own front matter setup. My bbb.cfg would look like:

%--- begin bbb.cfg ---
\makeatletter
\Preamble{xhtml,docbook-mml}

\def\hn{\HCode{\Hnewline}}

\def\maketitle{\IgnorePar\Tg\hn
\printkeywords
\Tg\hn
\ShowPar}

\def\keywords#1{\gdef\@keywords{#1}}%
\let\@keywords\@empty

\def\printkeywords{\ifx\@keywords\@empty\relax\else
   \Tg\hn
   \@for\@kwd:=\@keywords\do
{\Tg\@kwd\Tg\hn}
   \Tg\hn
   \fi}

\begin{document}

\EndPreamble

\makeatother

% end --

\printkeywords will parse your comma separated keyword list and tag each
keyword individually.

Your source document will look like:

%-begin x.tex 
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\keywords{aa,bb,cc,dd,kkk}

\maketitle

hello

\end{document}

% end ---

The output generated by  the command, htlatex x bbb, will look like:


http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
  


http://www.tug.org/tex4ht/)" />

Please remove  \[ and \] from the sources and try again. You might depend

Kindly add the following either in your custom *.cfg or just after
\begin{document} of your document:

\Configure{equation*}
  {\ifvmode \IgnorePar\fi   \EndP
   \HCode{}%
   \Configure{gather}
 {\HCode{}\IgnorePar }

If this works fine for you, I shall update the docbook-mml.4ht which
unfortunately does not have the configuration for starred equation

Thanks for the patch. The literate sources will be updated at the earliest.

By the way, while making patches, it will be useful if it is generated
from the literate sources which are available at the project site. All
the *.4ht files are always generated after updating the sources. We do

I should not have added the above sentence. I just meant that this
particular \Needs{...} directive shall be the last one in the *.lg file,
that was the reason for the \AtEndDocument command. As you are aware, all
\Needs{...} directive will end up in *.lg file.

*.cfg, of course. *.lg is dynamically created and the only way to get

You might define a \mydir macro for the purpose.

  \def\mydir#1{\gdef\@mydir{#1}}
  \def\@mydir{/.} % inialize to current directrory

Modified \Needs{...} will be:

  \Needs{"find ./ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type f -not
   -name \jobname.tex -exec mv '{}' \@mydir\space \string\; "}

You might provide the directory name in your document at the top in each
*.tex file:

  \mydir{}

[...]

That is natural, because the command you have provided was expected to do
it. You might modify the find command accordingly or write individual
\Needs{...} directive for each scratch file like, \jobname.log,
\jobname.aux, so on and so forth.

At the moment, it can move only the output files.  You might modify the
t4ht binary, the sources are available at the TeX4ht project site. Your

That is quite possible. You might add the following line in your *.cfg:

 \AtEndDocument{\Needs{...}}

Let that be the last directive in \jobname.lg file which is read by t4ht
binary.

True, aux and other scratch files still remain in your working directory.
In order to move all files to your target directory, you need to provide
\Needs{} directive in your source document. For example, I will modify your
example document to the following manner:

--- foo-changed.tex --
\documentclass{article}%
\usepackage{graphics}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics{a.png}

\Needs{"find ./ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type f -not -name \jobname.tex
-exec mv '{}' A \string\; "}

\end{document}
-

\Needs{...} directive is operating system dependent. The one I have given
above is for bash in linux or unix like operating systems.  You might
provide the one fit for your OS.

\textsuperscript{87}Rb works fine in htlatex+biblatex combination. However,
if you have both subscript and superscript, htlatex will fail. You need to
generate MathML for mass/atomic numbers of the element, if not spacial
position will not be as you have expected. The following form works fine:

  @article{ref, Title = {A {${}\sb{10}\sp{87}{\mathrm{Rb}}$} Bose
condensate}}

and will generate following output:

display="inline">
  


  1

  8

Firefox renders correctly. In short, mzlatex+biblatex with modified input
will work OK.

May not be needed when you update biblatex.4ht, new version of which will
be committed to project svn soon. Along with this, we shall also add JSTOR,
PubMed and Google Books to the eprint list, since biblatex supports these

You are right. Eitan's code does appreciate the sectional properties of
\paragraph command of LaTeX. However, when a \paragraph unit has multiple
paragraphs of textual data, these paragraphs need to be tagged with
... element. When scrreprt.cls is loaded, TeX4ht ignores this rule
while in article.cls, it is perfectly obeyed. That was the bug reported by
Frank. scrreprt.4ht needs a bit of rewriting.

Not possible. But you can define your own htlatex like custom script (say,
foolatex) which when run like

  foolatex 

will in effect do what you wanted.

Here is a a source file which I use for html5 trials. You might modify to
suit your requirements:

  \def\script{unix}
  \input mkht.4ht
  \one{new,html5,fn-in,charset=utf-8}
  \two{-cunihtf  -utf8}
  \three{#1 -d/tmp/}
  \make{ht5}
  \end{document}

\script{..} -- argument can be unix or bat

\one{...} -- can have all options passed on to LaTeX
(in your case, config-file,xhtml,fn-in charset=utf-8)

\two{...} -- options passed to tex4ht binary which post-processes dvi
(in your case,  -cunihtf -utf8)

\three{...} -- options passed to t4ht binary which generates css, images
and does all other system specific stuff like moving all output to a custom
directory, or execution of any shell specific commands.

\make{...} -- base name for your scripts.

Save the file as cmd.tex (or any name you like) and run LaTeX on cmd.tex
which will produce seven script files as shown below:

--- Writing file --- ht5latex.unix ---
--- Writing file --- ht5tex.unix ---
--- Writing file --- ht5texi.unix ---
--- Writing file --- ht5context.unix ---
--- Writing file --- ht5xetex.unix ---
--- Writing file --- ht5xelatex.unix ---
--- Writing file --- ht5mex.unix ---

The names are self explanatory.

Look forward to hear after your experiments.

That is up to you. You might choose any easiest method.  Three compilations

If somebody sends me a test file with necessary bib database, I shall

I agree with Karl. We will provide new version of biblatex.4ht.
biblatex.sty itself is a complex package and making it work with
tex4ht needs a few days to complete. We will do that as quickly as

That is correct. I would be very happy if somebody well versed in
biblatex come forward to join the tex4ht project. If so, things would
be much more easier. I am not an expert of biblatex and without
knowing the innards of  biblatex, it is difficult to provide a long

TeX4ht generates the kind of tables as found in LaTeX documents.

You might provide a simpler configuration for tabular structure after
\begin{document} in the following fashion:

the syntax is

\Configure{tabular}
  {at the start of table}
  {at the end of table}
  {at the beginning of row}
  {at the end of row}
  {before each cell}
  {after each cell}

\Configure{tabular}
{\HCode{}}
{\HCode{}}
{\HCode{}}
{\HCode{}}
{\HCode{1 colspan="\HMultispan"\fi >}}
{\HCode{}}

The following is for alternate background colors for rows and unique
color first row.

\def\rowcolor{\ifnum\HRow=1
\#ff;\else\ifodd\HRow\#f0f0f0;\else\#fdeded;\fi\fi}

Hope this will help your purpose.

Absolutely. Me and Karl have been trying hard to make TeX4ht working
properly, write more documentation and make a new release. But
often, we both have been severely handicapped due to lack of time,
preoccupations at work, etc. If more people volunteer to take up the
maintenance of a few packages of their choice (*.4ht), a better
working TeX4ht is not a distant dream at all.  *.4ht packages need
updates or reworking whenever new version of the corresponding
mainstream LaTeX package is released at CTAN. Otherwise, TeX4ht will
break down for a user who has the updated version of a LaTeX
package.

Eiten followed his own custom literate programming method which is
not very difficult to understand. Sources of all the *.4ht packages,
documentation, notes and even mails from users are available in
tex4ht-4ht.tex.  These literate sources are available in the 'lit'
directory of the project svn.  Those who are interested may kindly
grab the file, make necessary modifications, compile the document
with 'tex' thrice, you will get all the new versions of *.4ht
packages. This is the right way of modifying or maintaining TeX4ht
packages.  Hope people will volunteer to help.

I am not sure, if I have understood your question correctly. If you
want to suppress css, you can use the command line option "-css". An
example will be:

 htlatex  'html,-css'

TeX4ht is ideally suited for your purpose. But there is no package
that can be used off the shelf to generate your required html. If the
demand is for a highly customized html, you need to write a TeX4ht
package which needs a bit of energy and learning to know the innards
of TeX4ht. Otherwise a smallish conf will do if your requirement is
for a slightly modified html. Once this part is done, it is a pleasure
to generate your html output from your LaTeX documents.

With your custom TeX4ht setup, you can derive both pdf and html from
the same LaTeX sources with zero effort.

That is quite possible. If you can provide a smallish qhp file, I
shall show you how this can be done. I would strongly encourage to do
it, since, at the end of your project, you will be able to contribute
a qhp back end for TeX4ht.

You're right, Bill. In a customized situation, TeX4ht can be
configured to generate output of your choice. It is very very flexible
to meet your requirements faithfully. However, the default behavior of
TeX4ht heavily relies on the input submitted to it  without need to
any extra configuration or coding.  Surely, that will miss certain
things as you have told above which is the price we pay for making
TeX4ht user friendly or less demanding from the users.

Why not consider moving to MathML which is now part of HTML5 specs and
already supported by browsers like Firefox and Opera?

It is not a big task to verbatim copy the TeX code for inline math.
For instance, the following code can do the job:

\Configure{$}{}{}{\expandafter\getMath}%$
\def\getMath#1${\relax$%
\def\next{$#1$}%
\HCode{\expandafter\strip@prefix\meaning\next}}

However, this trick will not help with displayed math. The main
problem is the resolution of cross references to equation numbers.
Since equation numbers are generated on the fly, you need to process
the displayed math in some manner before writing verbatim to your html
document.

A possible way out shall be to write out each displayed equation,
typeset it in a box so that \label{...}'s are expanded and written to
*.aux, discard the box and verbatim input the equation file again.
Not a trivial job, but entirely doable.

Actually, it is in our TODO list to write separate packages for
MathJax. In fact, there is a request pending from MathJax developers
in this regard. Volunteers are welcome.

Makefile is by far the elegant solution. I depend too much on make
which is a fairy godmother for me. :)

Karl, do we need shell-escape enabled to execute commands embedded in
\Needs{...}? I am not sure about it, as I always run TeX with
shell-escape enabled by default.

However, \Needs command writes the contents to a file called
\jobname.lg, which is read by 't4ht' binary that creates the
\jobname.css and executes system commands in \jobname.lg. That is how
validation of the xml/html output is done with a parser. \write18 may
not be helpful in this matter, since during the compilation process,
we don't have the outputs available. Seems like \Needs is a safe
command for system related operations.

Sorry for late reply.

I think, we can make use of \Needs command in an effective manner.
Please see the following example:

%> Begin <-

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}

\title{Title}
\author{Author}
\maketitle

\section{Section One}

This is a test for moving all files to another directory.

\Needs{"mkdir -p mytmp"}
\Needs{"mv \jobname.{4ct,4tc,aux,css,dvi,idv,html,lg,log,xref} mytmp"}

\end{document}

You might prefer to use the system commands specific to your operating
system.

You need to configure TitleMark of paragraph and subparagraph command 
since the defaults are configured to be null. The following will work fine:

\ConfigureMark{paragraph}
   {\HCode{}%
 \theparagraph\HCode{}}
\ConfigureMark{subparagraph}
   {\HCode{}%
 \thesubparagraph\HCode{}}

Also the following commands are also needed, since default configuration 
does not have \TitleMark in paragraph conf.

\Configure{paragraph}{}{}
  {\ShowPar\IgnoreIndent\HCode{}%
\begingroup\TitleMark\space}
  {\endgroup\HCode{}\par\IgnorePar}
\Configure{subparagraph}{}{}
  {\ShowPar\IgnoreIndent\HCode{}%

Very much possible, but you need to process the index file in a different way.

Run 'htlatex scr' which will give you scr.idx among other files.

Given below are the commands to process the index file:

  tex '\def\filename{{scr}{idx}{4dx}{ind}} \input idxmake.4ht'
  makeindex -o scr.ind scr.4dx

What to do when one seeks to follow the sufi path and reach God? One may learn

 When I experienced the desire for this path, divine grace (ilahi)
 (SWT) took me to a caliph of the family of the khwaja hazrats (qaf).
 It is from there that I attained the tariqa of these masters and I
 clung to his companionship. [Mabda’ 1, 3.1-4]

Attached is a newer version of biblatex.4ht. It works fine with the example 
provided in your post. Also, it runs with Christian's (OP) test document in my 
system. If the new version works fine in your setup, I shall update the SVN 
with necessary notes.

The problem was checksum macros, which Eitan had redefined in biblatex.4ht. 
That seems superfluous and erratic with the current revision of biblatex.sty. 
TeX4ht can very well make use of the original definition in the package, I 
believe.

Unfortunately, I could not replicate your problem. Everything seems OK at my

Can you ensure that your process end up with creating \jobname.css?  If not, 
please run 

  t4ht 

from the prompt and reload the file.html in your browser. That should work fine.

If you do not want to use htlatex, then you might follow the following path:

tex4ht 
t4ht   

Open your file.html in a browser and see for yourself.  htlatex does all the

If you can't request your viewers, you might think about delivering

(http://www.math.union.edu/locate/jsMath), MathJax
(http://www.mathjax.org). In fact, TeX4ht has a jsmath option and a
'jmlatex' script is provided to generate html pages with math in
jsmath compatible format. jsmath and MathJax allow to keep math in
LaTeX format in the html page and to dynamically process and render
with Javascript. 

I have created an html page from your example sources and is available
as an archive at:

  http://download.river-valley.com/cvr/mathjax.zip

which has thomas.html, thomas.css and mathjax.png. The last one is a
screenshot of the page as rendered in my laptop.

MathJax is easy to setup, you need to add a few extra lines in the
header of your html page to load MathJax.js.  It can also process
MathML and render irrespective of any browser. No special fonts,
plugin, etc are needed at client side. I think, it best fits your
scheme of things.

It might be better to approach the image problem in a different way.
What we do at work for some STM publishers is to write out all the

page for each inline or display math), use dvipng to generate png or
gif in a breeze. This saves a lot of hassles associated with the
current picmath setup. Maybe one day, we will find time to include
this feature as an option into TeX4ht once the documentation project
is reasonably finished.

It is David Carslile's package to fake decimal align in LaTeX tabular and is 
part of tools bundle of LaTeX. dcolumn splits each column (with a D specifier) 
further into three columns withalignments 
respectively, so that you get a kind of alignment of digits around the centered 
column which acts as an alignment point. It is a clever way indeed to tweak 
TeX's halign and tabular macros.

But dcolumn will not work if you happen to reconfigure $ in TeX4ht. The best 
way will be to reconfigure dcolumn also if you want to change the functionality 
of $. The following will work fine:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{dcolumn}

\begin{document}

\Configure{$}{\PicMath}{\EndPicMath}{}

$\alpha+\beta=2$

\Configure{dcolumn}{\Configure{$}{}{}{}}{\Configure{$}{\PicMath}{\EndPicMath}{}}

\begin{tabular}{D{.}{.}{-1}D{.}{.}{-1}D{.}{.}{-1}D{.}{.}{-1}}
  -10.00 &7776.0 & -10.00 &  8.0 \\
   -5.00 &19.5   &  -5.00 &  1.25\\
 \(\alpha\)  & \(\beta\).0   & \(\gamma\).0   &  1.25\\
\end{tabular}

$\alpha+\beta=2$

\end{document}

But be warned, you will not get alignment of decimal columns as you would 
expect.

I would echo what Karl has told above. We will try our best to devote as much 
time as possible to solve problems when users find a glitch. If users want html 
output of their documents, it would be nice, if they care this point while 
authoring so that some of the formatting code can be inserted for conditional 
execution depending on the output. Since html and TeX have different paradigms 
of formatting, certain things are very easy to do in CSS and some through TeX. 
A little more investment of efforts will make life easier instead of wanting to 
translate every TeX nuances or clever macros into other markup schemes.

You're right. It does not create the image files even in a Unix system with the 
tex4ht.env available in your archive. 


 t4ht -f/tex4httest 
 (tex4ht.env)
 Entering tex4httest.lg
 System call: if exist zztex4httest.ps DEL zztex4httest.ps >null
 sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I could successfully generate image files for your math in a GNU/Linux and OS X 
box without problems using a tex4ht.env for unix. I don't have a Windows system 
to try the example files.

Anyway, tex4ht.env for Windows doesn't seem correct to me. Karl, we need to fix 
the tex4ht.env for Win.

By the way, have you tried unix version tex4ht.env in a Win32 system? Does that 
work?

Translating plain TeX to html is a bit scary. You might have noticed, Eitan 
depends on ams preprint package to process plain TeX files. LaTeX provides a 
standard markup which is predictable and that is important for any conversion 
process. Yes, I would say, LaTeX is needed for effective translation or should 
follow macro packages like eplain, which again standardizes the text content.

Do you follow a custom plain TeX macro package for all your work? In that case, 
we can create a custom configuration for TeX4ht that will do the job for all 
your work without hassles.

I'm ashamed to tell this owing to my erratic release history. But, I am writing 
a TeX4ht package to make e-pub seamlessly from a LaTeX document along with a 
LaTeX document class to make PDF's from the same sources to suit different 
ebook devices like Sony, iPad, Kindle, iPhone and of course on a computer 
screen. Since the epub package is an extension over existing TeX4ht stuff, it 
should work with most variants of TeX. Whatever the case, an epub extension is 
needed for TeX4ht and people should not be looking for alternate technologies 
since TeX can do it seamlessly. Also, we have to write extra packages for 
html5, which has a few more additional features.

Sorry, this won't work since TeX4ht needs a dvi output from which it extracts 
the html while pdfTeX generates a pdf by default. So, tex4ht post-processor 
will weep that there is no \jobname.dvi. However, 

  ht 'pdftex -output-format=dvi' bk7.tex

will work. But the html file will have only the ASCII characters of your 
document and will not be valid html. To make a valid html from a plain TeX 
file, you have to do the following trick.

You need to wrap up your source file with following code:

 \input amstex  
 \documentstyle{amsppt}  \csname tex4ht\endcsname  
 \document  

 

 \enddocument  

See the attached evans.{tex,html} as an example. I have also added 
\pdfadjustspacing=2 command to show that pdfTeX can be used for processing the 
file. Since you use pdfTeX, I have attached a slightly modified script, httex 
which you may kindly use for your purpose. evans.html is created with the 
following command:

 ./httex evans "xhtml,html4.4ht,unicode.4ht,mathml.4ht"

Hope this might solve your problem, if you have still more, please get back to 
the list.
