tex4ht for DEBIAN - packaging notes
-----------------------------------
Each file in the tex4ht system has a version date recorded within it. The
version of this Debian package is 20011214, based on the date of the latest
source file within it. The version dates of the main source and style files
are as follows:
tex4ht.c 2001-10-17
t4ht.c 2001-07-16
tex4ht.sty 2001-12-14
*.htf 2001-12-10
*.4ht 2001-12-14
There are no original manual pages for tex4ht, but I have written a page based
on the HTML documentation. The user-guide consists of HTML documentation
which is available in /usr/share/doc/texmf/tex4ht. Start with file mn.html
(or index.html) in your web browser.
The original source did not include a Makefile, so I have written one.
The Debian versions of tex4ht and t4ht are built with the 'kpathsea'
file-search library, as used by tex and other programs in the package
tetex-bin. See the file README.kpathsea in this directory for notes on how
tex4ht can be configured using the global kpathsea configuration file.
I have slightly reorganised the files from the original sources in zip file
tex4ht.zip:
doc/win95/: Windows-95 files, deleted
doc/share/: moved to share/
The 'bug-fix' files in newt4ht.zip have overwritten the equivalent files from
tex4ht.zip. All files have been chmod'ed u+w (many are read-only when
unpacked).
I have made the following changes to the default configuration files,
'tex4ht.env':
1. Instructed tex4ht to produce .png files instead of .gif for maths
characters etc ('g' option), in keeping with Debian's free software
philosophy. Note that you will also need the 'png' option in the
tex/latex configuration file or '\Preamble...' command (see manual),
to request .png files instead of .gif for pictures that you generate.
2. Commented out path-searching lines and the cache (or `bookkeeping')
file option, as these are taken care of by the kpathsea library.
Note that, if you do not have the imagemagick package installed, you will have
to adjust the 'G' lines towards the end of the configuration file
'/etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.env'. See the HTML documentation for more details.
For more details on the configuration of tex4ht, see the HTML documentation.
Note that the HTML documentation and the test files are placed under
/usr/share/doc/texmf/tex4ht.
If you are upgrading from an earlier Debian tex4ht package, you may want to
read the notes in file README.upgrading.
