Can anybody tell me how to actually get the LATEST distribution of LaTeX2HTML (latex2html-2002-2-1) to work with the current MiKTeX under Windows (XP) using also the current distribution of netpbm (27 December 2003, at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/netpbm.htm)?
What kinds of things are going wrong ? Since Windows is not my choice of operating system, it's not easy for me to test a LaTeX2HTML distribution. And even then, there are lots of options and alternatives, so even if I did setup for testing, I may not be able to find what is failing to work for you.
On the other hand, with sufficient feedback --- in particular the screen logs from failing sessions --- I may be able to guide you to the correct places in the Perl coding where things need to be changed.
Some questions:
Can you get a LaTeX2HTML job to run at all ? Is it just that images don't come out right ? Are L-shaped black bars a symptom of the problems --- maybe the only visible problem ?
Is the images.dvi file constructed correctly --- have you looked at images.log ?
Have you tried using the -debug switch ? If so, can you locate where the image-processing is done, and have examined the graphics-format files there, constructed as intermediate files during the complete image processing phase.
Or are the problems deeper than this, and you just cannot get the installation procedure to work ? In that case, I'd like to see the screen logs and the .pm files that this should be creating.
The documentation at
http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2h.htm
is nearly 5 years old! And, as I've posted here before, the result of following those instructions simply does not work.
(I've frittered away endless hours so far on this. At one point I gave up and just used tex4ht instead, which can produce, as an option, html files that use MathML rather than graphics images. But tex4ht doesn't do the nice division of documents into separate pages that LaTeX2HTML is supposed to do.)
Are browsers doing a good job of displaying MathML created this way ? If so, then that's an ability that I'd like to add to LaTeX2HTML also. Indeed it's been on the TODO list for some time. Finding time to do the required programming has been the main barrier to this.
Best regards,
Ross Moore
