Dear all,
how can I get complete descrptions of LaTeX formulas
in the ALT comment of the IMG tag?
Long formulas are deliberatly truncated (in the middle) for
a combination of reasons:
* browsers may not be able to show very long strings;
* the full LaTeX source of mathematics is in the HTML file
anyway, as a comment;
* the data-base structure used by LaTeX2HTML to hold these
ALT strings may not be able to manage long strings.
(This may no longer be a problem with Perl 5.6+ )
Here is the code snippet that implements this:
#RRM: too long strings upset the DBM. Truncate to <= 165 chars.
if ( length($alt) > 163 ) {
local($start,$end);
$start = substr($alt,0,80);
$end = substr($alt,length($alt)-80,80);
$alt = join('',$start,"...\n ...",$end);
}
See the limit of 163 that is imposed.
You could try changing that to something much larger; e.g. 1000 .
See what happens.
With luck there'll be no problems, but I don't guarantee that.
Report back here on your results, please.
Hope this helps,
Ross Moore
