Hi,
I just started using latex2html and I'm very happy with it. However I
think I found a bug. I wanted to make the background color of my html
pages white, so I included \usepackage{html} and
\bodytext{bgcolor=white} in my document. After doing so, the main
page still contains a table of contents. However the table of contents
page was empty.
Next I tried the color package with \pagecolor{white} and setting
$BODYTEXT. They both also resulted in an empty table of contents page.
I started in browsing and hacking through the latex2html code of which
I only understand about 10% and finally I found something suspicious
in the add_real_child_links subroutine.
Here I found the following piece of code. However the fourth element
of $section_info{$next} doesn't contain "star" info like
$toc_section_info as is used in the next if section. The fourth
element of $section_info{$next} contains "body" information.
# if ($exclude) {
($next_depth, $file, $title, $star) =
split($delim,$section_info{$next});
# }
if (!$title) {
($next_depth, $file, $title, $star) =
split($delim,$toc_section_info{$next});
}
Therefor I changed the code to:
# if ($exclude) {
$star='';
($next_depth, $file, $title) =
split($delim,$section_info{$next});
# }
After this change latex2html made a correct table of contents page and
everything seems to work fine.
So I don't know for sure if this is a good patch, but it seems to work
fine.
I've attached an example latex file named test.tex which demonstrates
the problem. You can just in- or exclude the \bodytext line.
My latex2html version is:
% latex2html -V
This is LaTeX2HTML Version 99.2beta6 (1.42)
by Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.
In the test I used "latex2html text.tex" without any arguments.
Regards,
Jeroen.
