[l2h] Indic-TeX/HTML
Having successfully installed LaTeX2HTML on my office machine running
XP, I have tried to do the exact same thing on my home machine, running
Windows 2000 service pack 4. Unfortunately, there is a difference.
Here are the changes I've made with the help of Ross Moore for the XP
installation:
in devnagri.perl line 116 I comment out the Unix command mv and
uncomment the DOS command rename.
in devanagri.perl lines 178 and 216 read:
$RENAME ${PREFIX}images.pre ${PREFIX}images.dn\r\n;
and in latex2html.bat the while loop at lines 3769-3775 reads:
while (@cmds) {
$this_cmd = shift @cmds; last unless ($this_cmd);
$this_cmd =~ s/.pre /.tex$cnt / if(($cnt)($cnt $num_cmds));
$cnt--; $this_cmd .= $cnt if ($cnt);
$preprocessor_cmds .= $this_cmd.\n;
L2hos-syswait($this_cmd);
}
In devnagri.perl I have also used that same line without the \r, and it
works just fine in the XP installation. Also, for the .bat file's
while loop I've also used the following (without the line break in the
fourth line) without any problem:
while (@cmds) {
$this_cmd = shift @cmds; last unless ($this_cmd);
$num_cmds-- if (this_cmd =~ /rename/i );
$this_cmd =~ s/.pre /.tex$cnt / if(($cnt)($cnt $num_cmds));
$cnt--; $this_cmd .= $cnt if ($cnt);
$preprocessor_cmds .= $this_cmd.\n;
L2hos-syswait($this_cmd);
}
The above in XP gives a preproc file that always reads:
rename images.pre images.dn
devnag images.dn images.tex
That allows for the production of the images, and all is well.
In 2000, however, with the exact same setup, the preproc file reads
rename images.pre images.dn1
devnag images.dn images.tex
Due to that 1 the preprocessor is unable to work on images.dn (it not
existing), and therefore the .dn file cannot be transformed into the
correct .tex and subsequently .html file.
Where does this 1 come from and how do I prevent it from appearing in
the preproc file?
Gratefully,
Bob Hueckstedt

Ross Moore, Since my last email I have found that in the test subdirectory there is a file images.dn1. ??, Bob Hueckstedt ___ latex2html mailing list latex2html@tug.org http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/latex2html

Dear Ross Moore and James Lynch, Thank you both for the help. Here is what I've done and the results. First, I thought it would be easier to get the executables for the netpbm files I don't have and try that. (By the way, I knew I did not have these particular files because during the config run, I was told that those files were not found. When I looked for them in the netpbm directory, I found perl files, sans file extension names, instead of .exe files, which I think config specifically looks for.) I found and copied into the netpbm directory ppmquant.exe and pnmflip.exe. I still have no file anytopnm.exe. I ran latex2html on my simple test file again, and the same result occurred. So, I found the spot in latex2html.bat file that Ross Moore specified. It is there and checks out exactly as he wrote it in his email. Yes, there is a file preproc in the test subdirectory. It has in it this line: rename images.pre images.dn; devnag images.dn images.tex (The background to getting this to work was that I had to change the relevant command in the devnagri.perl file from mv to rename.) I ran both those commands from the command line, and both worked. ??, RAH ___ latex2html mailing list latex2html@tug.org http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/latex2html

OK. This looks like I never adapted devnagri.perl to be OS
independent.
viz.
rossmoor% grep -n RENAME devnagri.perl
115:$RENAME = 'mv'; # Unix
116:#$RENAME = 'rename'; # DOS
178:$RENAME ${PREFIX}images.pre ${PREFIX}images.dn; ;
216:$RENAME ${PREFIX}images.pre ${PREFIX}images.dn; ;
line 115 is adapted for Unix, whereas the DOS version is commented-out.
But simply using the appropriate command may not be enough.
I ran both those commands from the command line, and both worked.
You say that these commands each work separately:
rename images.pre images.dn
devnag images.dn images.tex
But do they work under XP/DOS as a single compound command ?
rename images.pre images.dn ; devnag images.dn images.tex
If not, then the file preproc needs to be constructed by
putting them on separate lines.
That is, under DOS the ';' towards the end of lines 178 and 216
needs to become a line-end combination \r\n .
viz.,
$RENAME ${PREFIX}images.pre ${PREFIX}images.dn\r\n;
Would you edit devnagri.perl to test this please.
Hope this helps,
Ross

[l2h] Indic-TeX/HTML
I have successfully installed LaTeX2HTML on a PC running XP and running
TeX via MikTeX. I was even able to get the manual to come out correct in
html.
The purpose for doing this was to experiment with converting Sanskrit
and Hindi texts to html. I use a very simple file for testing this. It is:
test.dn
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[hindi]{devnagri}
\begin{document}
{\dn namo nama.h|}
\end{document}
end test.dn
This file goes through the preprocessor routine and latex-s just fine.
Whether I run latex2html on the dn or the tex file, I get the same
response. Here is the relevant portion of the log:
quote
Writing image.pre file . . .
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (MikTeX 2.4)
! I can't find file `.\images.tex'.
(*) ./images.tex
Please type another input file name:
\quote
I ran latex2html with the -debug option. That gave me two places in
latex2html.bat that seem challenged. They are line 3773:
$preprocessor_cmds .= $this_cmd.\n;
and lines 3799-3803 (particularly line 3801):
sub make_latex_images{
close_dbm_database if $DJGPP;
local($dd) = $dd; $dd = '/' if ($dd eq \\);
local($latex_call) = $LATEX .$dd${PREFIX}images.tex;
print $latex_call\n if (($DEBUG)||($VERBOSITY 1));
L2hos-syswait($latex_call);
open_dbm_database if $DJGPP;
}
Not knowing perl, I'm good and stuck. Any help out of this would be most
appreciated.
The only thing that happened during the installation, when I ran config,
was that the netpbm I fetched had no pnmflip (it being now a perl file),
no ppmquant (same -- a perl file) and no anytopnm (also a perl file).
But I doubt any of this is relevant. But what do I know?
