TeX4ht is a highly configurable TeX-based authoring system for producing hypertext. It interacts with
TeX-based applications through style files and postprocessors, leaving the processing of the source files to the native
TeX compiler. Consequently, TeX4ht can handle the features of TeX-based systems in general, and of the LaTeX
and AMS style files in particular.
<!--1742--><p class="indent"> The examples of this document relate mainly to configurations tailored for HTML 3.2, HTML transitional 4.0,
HTML 4.0 voyager, CSS, XML, and MathML. The document itself, zipped together with the files of TeX4ht, is

<!--4466--><p class="indent"> The <a
href="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/tug97/tug97-h.html" >demonstration of TeX4ht</a> in TUG97 illustrates the nature of the system (some of the mentioned features,
however, are outdated).

<H2 CLASS="ChapterHead"><a
name="QQ1-1-21"></a>Installation</H2>
For the system to <a
href="mn27.html" name="mn27.html" >run</a> it needs a port made up of native utilities of TeX4ht and of non-native utilities. The <a
href="http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/live.html" >TeX Live</a>
and <a
href="http://www.ntg.nl/4allcd/4texdoc/4texdoc.htm" >4allTeX</a> CD-ROM distributions include installed versions of these utilities. Hence, users having
no need for the latest version of TeX4ht might be well served by getting the system from the above
distributions.
<!--4640--><p class="indent"> The current document gives instructions on how to establish ports for <a
href="mn28.html" name="mn28.html" >Unix</a> and <a
href="mn33.html" name="mn33.html" >MS Win 95</a>. Alternative ports for these and other environments can be tailored in a <a
href="mn39.html" name="mn39.html" >similar manner</a>.
<!--6115--><p class="indent"> Philip A. Viton discusses in details issues of installing TeX4ht under <a
href="http://www.arch.ohio-state.edu/crp/faculty/pviton/support/tex4ht.html" >MikTeX</a> and <a
href="http://www.arch.ohio-state.edu/crp/faculty/pviton/support/swpht.html" >Scientific Word/WorkPlace</a>,
but many of the topics apply also to other platforms. The <a
href="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/dosports/readme.html" >port</a> Gertjan Klein proposed for an older version of
TeX4ht suggests alternative ways to conduct the translation of pictures into gif. Steven Zeil offers <a

the above settings.

name="QQ1-1-46"></a>General Note</H2>
The current distribution is far from being complete and debugged. In particular, the system is in the middle of
a major restructuring to fit it better for XML.
<!--7966--><p class="indent"> The virtual hypertext unicode fonts have many errors, and in quite a few instances it is not clear what entries
they should include. The MathML output needs to be further refined, and no effort yet was made to work on the
quality of its presentation. Many higher level constructs are missing general XML hooks, and only a few of them
have so far been adjusted for HTML voyager.
<!--7973--><p class="indent"> Hence, if you encounter problems with the system, please don't hesitate to <a
href="mn60.html" name="mn60.html" >report them</a>.
<H2 CLASS="ChapterHead"><a
name="QQ1-1-47"></a>Acknowledgment</H2>
I am very grateful for the suggestions, contributions, and bug reports offered by many people. In particular,
thanks go to Gertjan Klein and Sebastian Rahtz who got deeply involved in the project for long periods of time, and
to Philip Viton for his documentation.
