latex2html don't translate correct the command. i suppose it's the
combination of command and environment. this construct depends to
lyx. but it is real latex code! latex2html interprets this as an
image (i don't know why) and so you get another error message.

it's easy to test. in preamble:
\newenvironment{myEnv}{}{}
\newcommand{\myCommand}[1]{\begin{myEnv}#1\end{myEnv}}

Latex2html author says it is LyX's fault.

2001-02-28 Thread Paul E Johnson

I got this email from Ross Moore about the problem I had with my
regression notes and latex2html.  He sys LyX is not outputting proper
TeX for my user-defined paragraph environment "myHangIndent".  That
specific point is about 2/3 of the way down, but I leave the rest for
context.  My part begins with , the rest is from Ross Moore, who is
answing bug reports for latex2html today.


 I have a TeX document that latex2html cannot process, apparently
because
 it has this bit in the preamble:
 
 %% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
  \newenvironment{HangIndent}
   {\list{}{%
 \setlength\leftmargin{1.5cm}%  leftmargin
 \itemindent-\leftmargin}\item{}}
   {\endlist}
  \newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{
  \begin{HangIndent} #1
  \end{HangIndent}
  }

The problem is that LaTeX2HTML wants you to give the definition as:

\newcommand{\myHangIndent}[1]{... etc ...

With that, everything processes smoothly;
though it doesn't necessarily do the best possible translation.

e.g. have a look at:

   http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/PJOHNSON/multRegNotes1/


Besides, LaTeX2HTML wrote a huge error message into the log-window,
saying that:

%%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
 
viz:

Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/inputenc.perl
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/babel.perl
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/versions/lang.pl
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/graphics.perl
Reading ...
%%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
\myHangIndent[1]309
 \begin13HangIndent13 #1
 \end14HangIndent14
 309
\par 


 
 If that bit is in the preamble, then the processing of math breaks,
and
 equations get written to image files with format "hatb" instead of
a hat
 over a b.

This doesn't happen for me.
It may be something left over from the other error though,
since almost the whole file was scanned looking for the { after
\newcommand .

I'll look at programming to lessen the severity of this "error".


 I have the document in this directory:
 http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/multReg1
 The file is "multRegNotes1.tex"
 I also have the lyx file from which it was exported and the 2 eps
 figures are in the same directory.

Does LyX export as  \newcommand\myHangIndent  or was that yourself ?

You should complain to LyX for not doing  \newcommand{\myHangIndent}
which is more in keeping with LaTeX style, although both work with
a TeX engine.

 
 If I leave in the hangindent TeX above, the equations are ugly, and
I've
 put just one example of an ugly one in that directory too:
 http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/multReg1/img16.png

All the \ characters are lost.
This is typical when balance of environment delimiters gets badly
out-of-whack somehow.


 
 If I delete the HangIndent from the Tex preamble and remove its one
 usage, then latex2html is able to process the file without trouble.
 
 I get this same result with latex2html 99.2 or 99.3, but one other
user
 in the lyx user group showed me his version 96 worked fine on
Solaris.
 
 If you can tell me what I did wrong, I'd appreciate it.


The above should help you to get the file processed satisfactorily.

 answing bug reports for latex2html today.


  I have a TeX document that latex2html cannot process, apparently
 because
  it has this bit in the preamble:
 
  %% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
   \newenvironment{HangIndent}
{\list{}{%
  \setlength\leftmargin{1.5cm}%  leftmargin
  \itemindent-\leftmargin}\item{}}
{\endlist}
   \newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{
   \begin{HangIndent} #1
   \end{HangIndent}
   }

 The problem is that LaTeX2HTML wants you to give the definition as:

 \newcommand{\myHangIndent}[1]{... etc ...

 With that, everything processes smoothly;
 though it doesn't necessarily do the best possible translation.

 e.g. have a look at:

http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/PJOHNSON/multRegNotes1/


 Besides, LaTeX2HTML wrote a huge error message into the log-window,
 saying that:

 %%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***

 viz:

 Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/inputenc.perl
 Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/babel.perl
 Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/versions/lang.pl
 Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/graphics.perl
 Reading ...
 %%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
 \myHangIndent[1]309
  \begin13HangIndent13 #1
  \end14HangIndent14
  309
 \par



  If that bit is in the preamble, then the processing of math breaks,
 and
  equations get written to image files with format "hatb" instead of
 a hat
  over a b.

 This doesn't happen for me.
 It may be something left over from the other error though,
 since almost the whole file was scanned looking for the { after
 \newcommand .

 I'll look at programming to lessen the severity of this "error".


  I have the document in this directory:
  http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/multReg1
  The file is "multRegNotes1.tex"
  I also have the lyx file from which it was exported and the 2 eps
  figures are in the same directory.

 Does LyX export as  \newcommand\myHangIndent  or was that yourself ?

 You should complain to LyX for not doing  \newcommand{\myHangIndent}
 which is more in keeping with LaTeX style, although both work with
 a TeX engine.
