While generally I prefer unified html documents (if only because searching
is easier), my thought about splitting has always been to use an sgml or
xml transformation library to do the splitting from a unified html file.

Could you please explain what you mean by a

   "unified html documents (if only because searching)"

do you mean one large html page, vs. many smaller ones?

Hi Nasser,

destination link is inserted after section number, which in the case
of chapter, where linebreak in inserted after chapter number, causes
that links directed to chapter go to the chapter title. I don't think
that it is something we should change, but you can change that in your
document with some configurations like:

---
\Preamble{xhtml}

\newcommand\MyConfSection[2]{%
\Configure{#1}{}{}
{\IgnorePar\EndP\HCode{<#2} \HCode{ class="#1Head">}%
 }{\HCode{}\IgnoreIndent\par}
 }

\MyConfSection{chapter}{h2}
\MyConfSection{likechapter}{h2}
\MyConfSection{section}{h3}
\MyConfSection{likesection}{h3}
\MyConfSection{subsection}{h3}
\MyConfSection{likesubsection}{h3}
\MyConfSection{subsubsection}{h3}
\MyConfSection{likesubsubsection}{h3}
\Css{.chapterHead .titlemark{display:block;}}

\newcommand\ChapterLink[2]{\Link{}{#2}\TitleMark}

\Configure{toTocLink}{\ChapterLink}{\EndLink}

\begin{document}
\EndPreamble
---

all section levels must be fixed with `\MyConfSection`, because of the
change in `\Configure{toTocLink}`, the `\TitleMark` is printed twice
otherwise.

Best regards,
Michal

destination link is inserted after section number, 

Seems like before the section number would be better.
What's the advantage of moving to after the number?
Just seems confusing.

[tex4ht] tex4ht puts the wrong link when splitting document. How to make the top of the page visible?

[Nasser M. Abbasi]

When splitting a document, and clicking on a link from the
parent page to go to the child page, one would expect the
child page to open where the top of the page is visible.

But what happens now, is that when the child page opens
one has to use the slider to move it up a little to see
the top of the page, where chapter name and the
navigators are located (prev,tail,up), etc...

This is really annoying. Since each time I open a page, I have
to use the slider a little to see the top of the page in order
to use the navgiation links.

I noticed the link from parent to the child page has this
pattern:

 page1.htm#x3-30001.1

And if the link is simply changed to just

  page1.htm

Then now the child page will open with the top part visible.

Here is a MWE to explain the problem

-
\documentclass{report}%
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{HW}
This is a test
\section{HW1}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\lipsum
\end{document}
---

Compiled with

make4ht --lua -u foo.tex "htm,2,pic-align,notoc*"

And now from foo.htm, clicking on the link called HW1,
a new page is opened (the child page). Now you'll see
the problem. The top part of the page is not visible,
and you'll notice the web page slider of the browser is
little down the page. Tested on firefox and Chrome.

Is there a way to make the new child page open with
the top part visible? This is what one would expect.

opps, This should be link called HW  not HW1 (i.e chapter name),
since it is being split at chapter level. (2).

Here is a more clear example:

---
documentclass{report}%
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{HW}
This is a test
\section{HW1}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\lipsum

\section{HW2}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\lipsum

\chapter{more HW}
This is a test
\section{HW1}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\lipsum

\section{HW2}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\lipsum

\end{document}
-

make4ht --lua -u foo.tex "htm,2,pic-align,notoc*"

The document is split at chapter level. So clicking
on a chapter name, should open the child page at the top,
which it does, except the navigators do not show. This
is the issue. It will be better to open showing the
very top of the page which clicking on chapter name.

Thanks,
