LaTeX2HTML install:

1.  Expand the archive.

2.  Edit prefs.pm

'c:\\tex\\gs\\gs8.14\\bin;c:\\tex\\netpbm\\bin';

   b. $prefs{'PREFIX'} = 'c:\\tex\\l2h';
   c. $prefs{'TEXPATH'} = 'c:\\tex\\texmf\\tex\\l2h';

3.  Edit l2hconf.pin
   a. @IMAGE_TYPES = qw(gif png);
   b. $INIT_FILE_NAME = $ENV{'L2HINIT_NAME'} || 'l2hinit';

4.  Edit latex2html.pin.  Make the following mods marked by (dgr)
   if not already made by Ross in the source.

   a. sub default_textohtmlinfopage {
  local($_) = @_;
  local($argv) = $argv;

  }


5.  Run config.bat.  Check config.log.

6.  Run test.bat.  Check output in tests\l2htest folder.
   On Win9x, set command box to at least a 1024 environment size.
   This can be done by the properties tab for the command.com window,
   or globally by shell=d:\windows\command.com /e:1024 /p in config.sys.
   For NT/200x/XP, this is not necessary.

7.  Run install.bat -debug.  Note-- it may be necessary to run *all*
   latex2html jobs with the -debug switch.  Without it, you may get
   the error when converting images:

   Specified COMMAND search directory bad
   Too many parameters

   For NT/200x/XP, no debug switch is necessary.

8.  Rename dot.latex2html-init to l2hinit and customize as follows.
   Put this just before the Navigation Panel section,
   as to not be overridden prior in the file.

This looks like a lack of write-permission.

No, No, and no.  The same things have been known to happen on Windows 9x, 
NT/2000/XP.  One does not configure write permissions on 9x at all (it's a 
single user OS), and on NT/2000/XP I've administered these systems for many 
years and can assure you sufficient permissions existed at the time of these 
errors.

During my troubleshooting I determined the first and third error messages 
are truthful (there really was no such file or directory) and as for the 
second.L2H seems to be the only app with trouble using that directory.

I did not take the time to convince myself with 100% certainty, but I 
specifically remember downgrading to an older version of MiKTeX for Windows 
seemed to solve many, if not all, my problems.  I suggest a similar approach 
for the current user with the difficulties (IOW, try a different LaTeX

[l2h] XP problems

2004-10-09 Thread Darrell




I've got a new PC with XP (was on 98 and NT before 
w/ no prob.) I've got all the latest downloads of l2h, netpbm, activeperl, 
ghostscript. Does anyone know why some of my math formulas now have a 
thick underline, and what to do about it? It's only some of them (I have 
amsmath loaded. BTW). I've even 'downgraded' to the same versions of l2h, 
netpbm, perl, gs, I had on the old system, configured everything the same, and 
still have the problem. I'm scratching my head on this one.

I was also having a problem utilizing the temporary 
directory I defined in prefs.pm before installation, which resulted in no images 
being generated, butI later set$LATEX_DUMP = 0 which seems to 
fix, or at least workaround,that particular problem.

Any advice for l2h on WinXP will be appreciated (except to get 
Linux--that's not an option).

Thanks,
Darrell

Re: [l2h] Installation

 Hi all,
 I've tried to install Latex2Html for sometimes, but not succeeded. I
 followed intructions in http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2h.htm but
somehow
 the file PSTOIMG is not correctly created. If I ignore this fact and go on
 the installation, when I launch
 C:\texmf\TEXutils\Latex2html\bin\latex2html.bat Test.tex
 Things get wrong at the end: the latex2html can't creat images from source
 file.

...

In an initialization file, say l2hconf.pm, make doubly sure you have set:

@IMAGE_TYPES = qw(gif png);

 path.  In case you didn't know, the prefs.pm mod
that takes care of this without having to put GS and netpbm in the path is:

$prefs{'EXTRAPATH'} = 'F:\\gs\\gs7.04\\bin;F:\\netpbm\\bin';

 ...your paths may vary according to where you installed GS and netpbm,
obviously.



6.  If all's OK in config.log, run test.bat.  See if your errors go away.

7.  Look at test output with your browser and verify the mathematical
formulae display correctly.

8.  Run install.bat.  Consider placing the l2h\bin folder in your path, so
you can later run latex2html.bat from any directory.  You may also wish to
keep that l2hinit file discussed earlier (for some reason it did not seem to
copy over to the install directory.)  It doesn't really need to go there per
se, but you will probably want to keep a copy of it _somewhere_ before you
remove the expanded archive files that you ran the install from (which are
now safe to delete since it is already installed at the destination
folder.)  Copies of l2hinit can be modified and placed accordingly to
facilitate different local configurations (e.g. unique to each project,
person, etc.) without having to all the time modify the l2hconf.pm, which
applies global settings _before_ parsing l2hinit.

Here is a useful document that you may or may not have looked at:

http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2h.htm

  Similarly, the following is the segmented texts in pstoimg.bat after
running install.bat:
 
  ...
  # Ghostscript
  my $GS = 'C:\\gs\\gs8.00\\bin\\gswin32c.exe';
  my $GSDEVICE = 'pnmraw';
  my $GSALIASDEVICE = 'ppmraw';
  ...

 Looks good.


  Search path:
 . ; C:\gs\gs8.00\lib ; C:\gs\fonts ; c:/gs/gs8.00/lib ; c:/gs/fonts

   pstoimg.bat: Error: Ghostscript returned error status 0
   pstoimg.bat: Error: Couldn't find pnm output of
C:\ChinaTeX\Temp\l2h1624\image002.ps

 So it looks like Ghostscript got started, but it failed for some reason.

 Run your job again, using the  -debug  switch.

 Post the output to the terminal that results.
 Perhaps some of the extra messages will reveal something useful.

 This will also retain intermediate files, such as the .ps files,
 and show LaTeX messages as well.
 It may be that something is missing for LaTeX, resulting in one or more
 empty, or otherwise bad, images.

   Hi all,
  
   I download the latest version of latex2html from www.latex2htm.org,
but I encountered strange problem when I run test.bat after running
config.bat. The problem is: all images, including the ones generated to
display complex equations, cannot be displayed in the html pages. The report
is as follows:
  
   Converting image #2
   pstoimg.bat: Error: Ghostscript returned error status 0
   pstoimg.bat: Error: Couldn't find pnm output of
C:\ChinaTeX\Temp\l2h1624\image002.ps
   Error: Cannot read 'img2.gif': No such file or directory
  
   Although it seems that I have not correctly installed Ghostscript, I
really installed the latest version (Ghostscript 8.00) and set
$prefs{'EXTRAPATH'} = 'C:\\gs\\gs8.00\\bin'; in prefs.pm before I ran
config.bat.
  
  Hmm; I've never seen Ghostscript 8.
  Can you please show me what message results from the following
commands:
gs -v
gs --help
  (just the first few lines, please)
  
  
   If I omit the problem and continue to run install.bat, the problem
remains when I try to translate any .tex file to html documents.
  
  I'm guessing that the full path to Ghostscript was not found when you
installed
  LaTeX2HTML. There should be a message about this in the configure log.
  This means that some variables, name $GS and starting $GS... will have
empty
  values instead of full directory paths.
  You could try to find these and fix them, or wait until the installer
is patched
  to recognise this latest version of Ghostscript.
  
  
  Hope this helps,

[l2h] Math in section title

2002-09-22 Thread Darrell

I quickly browsed the archives and found some related issues addressed, 
but none that I saw were quite like my problem.

I have a simple equation in a section title.  I am using amsmath and L2H 
2002-2 (1.70).  The LaTeX output is perfect, i.e. the equation is 
included everywhere it should be (TOC, section heading, etc.) and scales 
correctly.

As you know, the main html page produced by LaTeX2HTML (index.html) 
contains a copy of the TOC, even if there is no \tableofcontents command 
in the LaTeX source.  In this TOC copy the equation displays fine, but 
the real TOC (i.e. the separate html page accessed from the contents 
navigation button when a \tableofcontents is included) does not contain 
the equation.  The html source for this page is completely missing the 
img tag for the equation.  I guess I could copy and paste the tag from 
index.html, but I thought I would ask if anyone knew of a fix since that 
seems like a very inefficient workaround, especially if I wish to 
include math in many more section titles.

There is a separate issue of getting the image to scale correctly in the 
heading of the actual html file for that particular section.  I've tried 
\protect to no avail.  Any suggestions for both or either of these 
issues will be appreciated.

[l2h] Re: GS returned error status 1

2002-03-11 Thread Darrell

Just an update, this problem goes away if L2H and the .tex source files both
reside on the NT system partition.  Oddly enough, if they both reside on
some other partition (E: in my case) the problem continues.  I just thought
I would bring this to the developers' attention to see if it made any sense
to you.  This workaround will suffice, but it would be nice if I could keep
all my data segregated from the system partition.  Has this happened to
anyone else running NT?

Till, I am also on NT and have had this very same problem, only
intermittently.  I haven't quite put my finger on the cause of the problem,
but as I'm sure you have already discovered it is looking for files in a
directory (in this case l2h173) under your temp folder but that directly
simply is not there (which begs the question, why does it think its there
(Ross?))

Although I have not been able to consistently reproduce the problem, I have
noticed if you by chance have another process that has recently done
something (i.e. an explorer window or dos box open on your destination
directory or the temp folder) and have recently deleted something in that
process, then this can cause problems somewhere in the process of running
latex2html subsequently.  In my experience, I sometimes even get access
denined when trying to delete stuff from the destination folder after this
problem happens (and I am admin, so not a permission issue.)

I am able to get around this by either 1)terminating the offending process,
i.e. closing the dos box or explorer window, 2)tinkering with the ldump
setting and/or the reuse setting, or 3) at worst, sending the output to a
completely different location than used on previous runs.  Your mileage may
vary.  What I am certain of is it is looking for something that simply isn't
there (for some reason) which is why I would be suspect of anything in
latex2html or supporting programs that in any way cache file locations.
Somehow you need to force it to forget the images were ever there in the
first place so they can create a new home for themselves on the next run.
Weird problem, I know.  I guess I'm fortunate it only happens to me
intermittently.

 LaTeX2HTML uses 2 temporary locations to write files while working.
 Both are deleted at the end of the run, *unless* the -debug  switch is
used.

...

 According to this, it may be that the NT operating system, or a process
 initiated by browser software, is deleting the contents of the temporary
 directory *before* LaTeX2HTML has finished using those files.

I realize that some are not as fortunate as others and must run NT :-) but
it is not Nt that is deleting them.  It is, as you say, lth that is deleting
them.  The problem is, at least by my observations, that l2h for some reason
(when trying to convert the images) sometimes wants to use the same
directory it used in the previous run, which is of course, no longer exists
because l2h deleted it :-)


 If this is indeed the case, then having  l2hnum  created in a different
 location may well be appropriate on the NT platform.
 Ways to do this are outlined above. Please test this and report success
 or failure.

I will try this, but definitive results may take a while since this is an
intermittent problem (at least on my box.)


 Remember to use -debug  at first, so that you can check where the
temporary
 directory is in fact located.

 Is this just a  Windows 2000 effect ?
 (Others have been using NT for quite a long time without this problem.)

This is NT, and I doubt that NT is the culprit.  L2h is looking for
something that simply is not there (but was there on a previous run.)  I'm
not saying it's l2h's fault either.  hel, it's probably the operator's
fault!  ...but highly improbable :-).  I _thought) I was wrong once, but it
turned out I was mistaken about that :-)

Thank you for your assistance.

Darrell




 Thanks for the observations.

 I hope you can figure what is causing the problem and find
 a simple fix for it.


 All the best,

 Ross Moore

[l2h] newbie question

2001-11-15 Thread Darrell

Some newbie questions:

1.  I don't think my init file is ever being parsed because changes I make
there are never being applied in subsequent runs.  I'm running
2k.1beta(1.57) on an NT PC.  I've tried leaving the init file named
 .latex2html-init, renaming it to various things and changing $INIT_FILE_NAME
in l2hconf.pm accordingly.  ...But changes I make in l2hconf.pm seem to
work.  (Do I even need the init file (just change/append l2hcon.pm as
necessary?)

2.  For the life of me I can't seem to customize $ADDRESS.  Changes I make
in l2hconf.pm (and in the init file per #1) are not being applied.

3.  This may be a LaTeX issue, not sure, I'm a newbie there too. How can I
prevent l2h from placing a contents entry in index.html.  (i.e. clicking
on next in index.html just takes you to, well, the contents page.  I
definitely want the contents to be there, just not in the list in
index.html.

4.  How can I generate the manuals locally.  All guidelines I have found
seem to revolve around make which is unavailable on PC.

Thank you very much.

Re: [l2h] newbie question

2001-11-15 Thread Darrell

 $INIT_FILE_NAME = $ENV{'L2HINIT_NAME'} || '.latex2html-init'

 So to change the default name, you have to set an environment variable
 with name  L2HINIT_NAME .

That worked.

 I don't know why the default file isn't being read.
 Perhaps filenames beginning with '.' are not allowed on your system ?

Apparently so.  I can rename a file to . but I cannot edit ..
Says bad file name.  Additionally, during installation it appears that NT
parsed .latex2html-init as dot.latex2html-init because that's what was
created initially, hence the need to rename it.



 Use also the  -show_init  commandline switch;
 this will cause the contents of the initialisation file to be printed
 on the About this Document... page.
 That way you can see whether the correct file is being found and read.
 (You may also spot a Perl error, that is otherwise eluding your gaze. :-)

I C:ee what you mean :-)

  2.  For the life of me I can't seem to customize $ADDRESS.  Changes I
make
  in l2hconf.pm (and in the init file per #1) are not being applied.

 Have you included the line:

   package main;

 in the init-file ?  This may be needed to match the package used in the
 main script, so that your own definitions will override the defaults.

Now that it's reading the init file, it works (even without package main).



  3.  This may be a LaTeX issue, not sure, I'm a newbie there too. How can
I
  prevent l2h from placing a contents entry in index.html.  (i.e.
clicking
  on next in index.html just takes you to, well, the contents page.  I
  definitely want the contents to be there, just not in the list in
  index.html.

 Show me an example document.
 Where do the  \tableofcontents and \printindex  commands occur
 in your LaTeX source ?

*Now* \tableofcontents appears after the last section of text.  Problem
solved.

Thank you for your help.

[l2h] latex2html-2K.1beta Makefile

2001-02-06 Thread Darrell Tangman

At line 91 in the generated Makefile (line 90 of Makefile.in), the line

 test -s $$file  latex2html=$$file break ; \

fails on a Red Hat Linux installation running GNU make 3.79 and bash
1.14.7; the variable latex2html is not defined for the following commands.
The replacement line

 test -s $$file  latex2html=$$file  break ; \

works correctly in the same environment.
