bug in lyx-HTML conversion via tth

[travis+ml-lyx]

I wrote to the author of tth:

 Anyway, I wanted to alert you to a potential bug.  When I use lyx's
 hyperef feature to make a hyperlink (as opposed to embedding a URL,
 where the text is the same as the href target), it generates a .tex
 file that contains a line like this:

 \usepackage[unicode=true, pdfusetitle,
 bookmarks=true,bookmarksnumbered=false,bookmarksopen=false,
 breaklinks=false,pdfborder={0 0 1},backref=false,colorlinks=false]
 {hyperref}

 When I run it through tth, it creates a title tag of hyperref.

He responded:

Hello. Thanks for this message. The problem is with the way Lyx is laying
out its \usepackage command. TtH knows nothing about \usepackage. It treats
it as an unknown command.

http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/manual/sec9.html#commands+unknown93
explains that such commands ought to be laid out _without_ whitespace
between themselves and their arguments. Because Lyx is inserting whitespace
before {hyperref}, TtH scans it as if it is the start of the text.

The only way to fix this properly is for Lyx to avoid adding that extra
whitespace between ] and {. No space or newline is allowed. You could fix
it by hand in the .tex file yourself; but that's a bit annoying.

 Is this LyX 1.6.x or the alpha release of 2.0? Either way, what HTML

 you're in 2.0, then LyX's native XHTML output.

 If you're using elyxer, then there is not really anything you can do. 

WRONG: you can ask the elyxer developer whether support for these
constructs, providing sample input (and preferabely expected output).

 elyxer's math support is pretty basic;

but steadily improving (and for this depends on user feedback).

 You might therefore want to 
 uninstall elyxer (I'm sorry, but that is what you would have to do), 
 reconfigure LyX, and try using htlatex, which has its own issues but 
 handles math better, since it does it all via images. (Of course, that 
 can lead to scaling problems, etc, but at least you get decent output.)

You might want to try whether htlatex supports the polynom package
with a manual conversion (export to LaTeX and call htlatex from the
command line) first. Or instead of uninstalling elyxer, define htlatex
as an alternative HMTL converter in ToolsSettings.

 If you are using 2.0,

you will have the choice between all instlled HTML exporters by default
(without the need of manually defining them in ToolsSettings).

You might want to try whether htlatex supports the polynom package
with a "manual" conversion (export to LaTeX and call htlatex from the
command line) first. Or instead of uninstalling elyxer, define htlatex

Subject: htlatex html conversion best methods
From: Steve Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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:

[...]

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.

I can see no difference here between newfile0x.png and newfile0x.jpg, so I 
would 
rather use the png file to be able to make it transparent.
intop.png seems to have been resized: usually the bimapped image is OK
if you avoid resizing.


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.

If you prefer jpg, it would be better to hack the tex4ht configuration file,
where conversions are described; this should take care of everything: 
image format and file name in html files.

Well, both Ares and me use default configurations and my htlatex
process produces good quality images but his doesn't and they
display differently to me than the ones I produce.

Thanks for the idea about hacking the configuration file
to produce .jpg output instead of .png images. I read that
it is trivial but didn't find out how to do it yet.

Thanks for your review,

the entire document, which should then display as well as the
sample newfilejpg.htm which is attached.


If you prefer jpg, it would be better to hack the tex4ht configuration file,
where conversions are described; this should take care of everything: 
image format and file name in html files.


HTH




Well, both Ares and me use default configurations and my htlatex
process produces good quality images but his doesn't and they
display differently to me than the ones I produce.

Thanks for the idea about hacking the configuration file
to produce .jpg output instead of .png images. I read that
it is "trivial" but didn't find out how to do it yet.

Thanks for your review,

htlatex html conversion best methods

[Steve Harris]

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 think. Paul the Probabilist is invited to comment or clarify.
This solution may be obvious to some but could be less apparent
to inexperienced users. So I decided to record it for prosperity.

Mac LaTex to HTML Conversion

[BEJ]

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.

Beth

You simply need to define a converter from within LyX's preferences.  
Two steps here:


1. LyX  Preferences  File formats: enter html2 into the Format  
field, HTML (latex2html) into the GUI name field (or anything else  
you'd find illuminating -- this is what will show up in LyX's menus,  
and html in the Extension field. (I'd also add open in the Viewer  
field.) Click on the Add button.


2. LyX  Preferences  Converters: select LaTeX from the From drop- 
down list and HTML (latex2html) from the To drop-down list. Then  
enter whatever command you want to run in the Converter field (I have  
latex2html $$i -show_section_numbers -no_subdir -split 0 - 
local_icons -numbered_footnotes -contents_in_navigation -- note that  
the $$i is the placeholder for the LaTeX document LyX produces).  
Click the Add button, then the Save button.


You should now be able to use latex2html -- and you can produce it  
from the View menu if you've added open in the Viewer field as I  
suggested.

Perfect! That worked like a charm, and I added my latex2rtf converter as

Clearly I was overthinking the problem and getting myself confused.

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?


You simply need to define a converter from within LyX's preferences.  
Two steps here:


1. LyX > Preferences > File formats: enter "html2" into the Format  
field, "HTML (latex2html)" into the GUI name field (or anything else  
you'd find illuminating -- this is what will show up in LyX's menus,  
and "html" in the Extension field. (I'd also add "open" in the Viewer  
field.) Click on the "Add" button.


2. LyX > Preferences > Converters: select "LaTeX" from the From drop- 
down list and "HTML (latex2html)" from the To drop-down list. Then  
enter whatever command you want to run in the Converter field (I have  
"latex2html $$i -show_section_numbers -no_subdir -split 0 - 
local_icons -numbered_footnotes -contents_in_navigation" -- note that  
the $$i is the placeholder for the LaTeX document LyX produces).  
Click the "Add" button, then the "Save" button.


You should now be able to use latex2html -- and you can produce it  
from the View menu if you've added "open" in the Viewer field as I  
suggested.

Perfect! That worked like a charm, and I added my latex2rtf converter as 
well, so I'm back in business. Off now to install 1.4.0 on the desktop. 
Clearly I was overthinking the problem and getting myself confused.

about HTML conversion with hevea and hacha

[Fabrice F-T]

Hevea (hevea + hacha) is a great tool (at least for me) to convert latex
into html. It's very fast and produces very little html files.
But as you have to run two differents commands to do the complete
conversion, the autodetected configuration didn't do exactly what I wanted
(it did only run hevea), and setting it up is not documented in the LyX
documentation or on the LyX help website.

2 questions:

1- Is there a simplest way to configure it, as the way I have found and
explain here?

2- Would it be possible to have more explanations somewhere about using
converters, and in particular this one? I found it was particularly bad
documented for a novice user like me. For months I have run hacha in a
console every time...

***

First, we have to run hevea. It will convert the document in one html
file. After that, we have to run hacha. It will split the html file in
several ones and everything will be nicer (one file for each section and
so on).

I don't know if there is one solution to run hacha with one lyx command.
As I remember, I tried but it worked only if hevea had everything clear
with just one run (and sometimes it needs to run many times). I finally
got runnig it by declaring two new HTML formats: 

(Menus are in french because I don't know how it looks like in another
language)

* The two formats

Menu Edition- Préférence -Convertisseurs- Format

** The first format:

Format: htmlhevea
Nom d'interface: HTML (hevea)
Raccourci: v
Extension: html
Visionneuse: dillo

(dillo because it is very fast)

** The second format:

Format: htmlhacha
Nom d'interface: HTML (hacha)
Raccourci: c
Extension: html
Visionneuse: dillo 'index.html' | dillo

(Dillo must be run twice in order to see the index.html file, or Lyx has
problems. Is there another way to see this index.html file?)

* After that: Two conversions

Menu Edition -Préférences- Convertisseurs- Convertisseurs

** The first one. To create the big html file

Depuis: Latex
Vers: HTML (hevea)
Convertisseur: hevea -fix -français -noiso -nosymb -pedantic $$i
Options: originaldir,needaux

(hevea-options: fix: hevea runs as many times as needed to have correct
output; francais: because I write in french; other options so that old
netscape is happy)(I don't really know what these originaldir and needaux
options are and if other ones exist, but without it it doesn't work)

** The second one. To create the entire site.

Depuis: HTML (hevea)
Vers: HTML (hacha)
Convertisseur: hacha -français -tocbis $$i
Options: originaldir,needaux

(hacha-options: francais: for french; tocbis: to have a little toc in each
file)


For the converter to run well, I had to deactivate the /tmp directory. If
it is not deactivated, ps images are not converted.

html conversion and included documents

[Fab themroc]

Hello.

Using lyx-1.6fix4 on Debian, i've got a problem when i want to
convert a lyx-file with some other include/input lyx-files inside: the
final html-file does not include the files i wanted. This happens both
with hevea and latex2html. What have i done wrong? Having only one
lyx-file is a solution, but is it the only one?

I have another question, wich is more hevea or latex2html oriented: when i
include urls in a document, latex2html does not make a link with them
(only writes the url), and hevea makes a link only with the letter next
the url.
