Package: bibtex2html
Version: 1.99-2.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I wish bibtex2html could translate math characters that have accents.

In my .bib collection, I have a few abstracts with math characters
that have accents.  One such document is at
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.04874v1.pdf.  Here's a sample .bib entry for
it, with an abridged abstract:

@Misc{           lee-sidford-wong15cutting,
  author = {Yin Tat Lee and Aaron Sidford and Sam Chiu-wai Wong},
  title = {A Faster Cutting Plane Method and its Implications
                  for Combinatorial and Convex Optimization},
  eprinttype =   {arxiv},
  eprint =       {1508.04874v1},
  url =          {http://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.04874v1.pdf},
  month = aug,
  year = 2015,
  abstract =     {We obtain a running time of $\tilde O ( n ( n^2 +
                  m^\omega + S ))$, improving upon the previous best
                  of $\tilde O ( n ( n^\omega + m^\omega + S ))$ for
                  the regime $S$ is small.},
  pdf =           {lee-sidford-wong15cutting.pdf}
}

Unicode can add bars and such over characters, using characters with
combining class "above".  In TeX, the accent macro precedes the base
character, while the Unicode combining character must follow the base
character.  I think these TeX macro definitions should accomplish the
exchange:

\def\overleftarrow#1{#1⃖}  % over left arrow      U+20d6
\def\overrightarrow#1{#1⃗} % over right arrow     U+20d7
\def\bar#1{#1̅}            % overbar accent       U+0305
\def\tilde#1{#1̃}          % tilde accent         U+0303

However none of these actually work because ``bibtex2html does not
handle macros arguments; arguments are simply discarded.''

I think the translations could be done with ocaml, but I'm not even
sure how to spell that.

Please ask the upstream author(s) to consider implementing translations for
accented math characters.

          - Jim Van Zandt

Closes: 921278 921593
Changes:
 bibtex2html (1.99-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Make this an architecture-dependent package:
     - set Architecture=any
     - fix patch charset, to use the unix module also for compilation to
       native code.
     - debian/rules: auto_build override conditional on whether this is an
       ocaml native architecture or not
     - debian/rules: auto_test override conditional on whether this is an
       ocaml native architecture or not
     - Depends: add {shlibs:Depends}
   * debian/ruies : drop override of dh_auto_install: we don't need it anymore
     since the upstream Makefile does the right thing for native and bytecode
     architectures.
   * debian/rules: drop override of dh_strip which is no longer needed.
   * Apply patch by James Van Zandt that adds many translations of
     math-related symbols. Thanks a lot for the patch! (closes: #921278)
   * Apply patch by James Van Zandt that adds translations of
     accentuated characters. Thanks a lot for the patch! (closes: #921593)
   * Standards-version 4.4.1 (no change)
   * Build-depend on debhelper-compat instead of debhelper. Remove
     debian/compat file.
   * Debhelper compatibility level 12.
   * debian/copyright: update copyright years.
