I'm using LyX 1.4.0 on a G4 PowerBook with OS 10.4.5, and 1.3.5 on a G5
iMac with OS 10.4.5. Has LyX moved away from allowing choice in use of a
LaTeX to HTML converter? With 1.3.5 when I run reconfigure, I see this:
checking for a LaTeX -> HTML converter... (tth latex2html hevea)
+checking for "tth"... no
+checking for "latex2html"... yes
OK, this is good, because I have macros set up in jEdit to convert the
html for posting on my blog and other forums, and converting this output
to rtf is fairly trivial.
But on the PowerBook with 1.4.0 (and previously 1.3.8), I see this:
checking for a LaTex -> HTML converter...
+checking for "htlatex"... yes
checking LaTeX configuration... auto
This is BAD for my purposes, because htlatex is using classes and spans
to format output, instead of simple italics or bold tags. Even worse,
the span tags straddle a linebreak, so I can't even do a simple find and
replace for them. And that doesn't even bring up the issue of the
commented line numbering htlatex does, which also needs to go.
Does someone have a workaround for this that doesn't involve delving
into the morass that is the documentation for the new converter?
Perhaps, getting LyX 1.4.0 to recognize my Fink install of LaTeX2HTML?
In short, new LyX (though I really love new features like Word Count),
is no longer seamlessly doing a large part of what I need to do in terms
of output on a daily basis. This makes me sad.
regards,
Beth
