I recently became curious about the best way to produce a web page from LyX->export as Latex (.tex) and conversion to html and .png code for a web page with "htlatex example.tex"->example.htm + .pngs. I asked Ekkehart about this issue arising from a recent post of his:----------------------------------------------------------- Re: Lyx 1.4.2svn Windows SH: Is there some reason this equation/png looks so feint (pixellated?) as I've seen something like this in an htlatex generated html conversion which I would like to fix. Ekkehart supplied the original intop.png. [SH: intop.png displays with a similar poor quality to newfile0x.png] Regards, Stephen Ekkehart replied: Yes, the reason is that I took a screen shown from a pdf output and transformed it into png (to have a small file that can be attached). The original is the standard Latex output which is slightly pixelated, but for real things you would use an outline font. Ekkehart --------------------------------------------------------- SH: So I tried substituting/converting newfile0x.png with ImageMagick to newfile0x.jpg and viewing it, and the result looked pretty good. Next I made a simple .htm (which is text) file to see how it looked in a browser. It looked good in both Firefox and IE. I've included the files used in case anyone want to test it. The .htm files point to C:\uploads, so the files should be saved there; or with Linux save to the directory of choice, but edit the .htm file to show it. A thesis might have 175+ equations in it, which are all converted to .png files by htlatex. Supposing all these .png files are found in ~/thesis, or C:\thesis, they need to be converted automatically to the new .jpg format. Assuming ImageMagick is in the Path, then from the ~/thesis command line, "convert *.png *.jpg" should work in both Linux and Windows/Dos to change the extension of every .png file to its .jpg counterpart. Then all the occurrences of *.png need to be changed to *.jpg in the thesis.htm (text file). I think most quality text editors can perform such a Search/Replace, input *.png, output *.jpg through the entire document, which should then display as well as the sample newfilejpg.htm which is attached.
I am sending newfile0x.jpg as an attachment. This is newfilejpg.htm which can be copied and pasted into a text editor and saved to an appropriate directory. The original attached files were munged. <------------------------------------------------------> <html> <head> <title> Example of Jpg-based Webpage</title> </head> <body> This line is part of the internal html code, the .jpg image follows: <img src="file:///c:/uploads//Newdemoarticle.jpg"> </body> </html> <---------------------------------------------------------> This is newfilepng.htm which can be copied and pasted, inside the arrowed lines, into a text editor and saved to an appropriate directory. <-------------------------------------------> <html> <head> <title> Example of Png-based Webpage</title> </head> <body> This line is part of the internal html code, the .png image follows: <img src="file:///c:/uploads//newfile0x.png"> </body> </html> <------------------------------------------------------> Regards, Stephen
