ADDITIONAL SCRIPTS FOR TEX4HT (from package version 20011214-1)
The translation of a TeX or LaTeX source file to HTML is usually done with one
of the scripts 'htlatex' or 'httex', which take care of running tex/latex with
the tex4ht.sty and other macro files, and of running the tex4ht program and
t4ht post-processor to generate the HTML, CSS and other required files.
A variety of such scripts is provided with the tex4ht package, for generating
specific formats such as MathML or XHTML etc. The package as provided by the
upstream author provides just three scripts - httex, htlatex and httexi - for
generation of HTML from tex, latex and texinfo source files, together with a
file mkht-scripts.4ht that can be adapted as required and used to generate
other similar scripts.
The Debian package, from version 20011214-1, provides the main shell scripts
(httex, htlatex and httexi) in the usual /usr/bin directory, and generates
adapted versions of all the other scripts in /usr/share/tex4ht (so as not to
conflict with any scripts or programs of the same names that might belong in
other Debian packages). The scripts all set the PATH environment variable at
their start, to find the other scripts in /usr/share/tex4ht, if not already
set. Scripts from /usr/share/tex4ht should not normally have to be called
directly, although they can be if needed.
In order to generate the scripts, the latex program must be found at compile
time (hence the Build-Depends on tetex-bin), also the ProTeX macro files
(macros for literate programming within TeX, written by the same upstream
author). As the latter do not form part of the standard teTeX distribution, I
have included copies of ProTex.sty and AlProTex.sty with the tex4ht sources.
These files are not normally needed to use the tex4ht system, and so are not
included in the binary Debian package.
