Quite a while ago I happily used latex2html (the version bunbled with my SuSE, 2002-2-1 (1.70)) to produce a manual. Since I needed the "datetime" package, I simply put datetime.sty, datetime.perl (and also fmtcount.sty and .per) in the same directory where the tex source of the manual is (actually I softlinked them to a directory with the full datetime stuff).
Later on (while installing beamer) I learned to use the ~/texmf directory. Now I need to prepare a different manual, so I thought to install the entire datetime stuff under ~/texmf/tex/latex/datetime Apparently this was enough for latex (actually pdflatex) to find the .sty files. But latex2html cannot find datetime (and fmtcount) in ~/texmf. So far I resorted to the old trick of creating soft links to datetime.perl and fmtcount.perl in the directory where the tex source is. I did not find an obvious configuration variable in .latex2html-init (per-directory so far) which tells latex2html how to locate such "additional" files. I suppose I could install them into /usr/share/latex2html/styles where similar files are, but I'm not keen to do this in a system area which can be overwritten at system update, I'd prefer to use my own ~/texmf. -- Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nature" on government cuts to research http://snipurl.com/4erid "Nature" e i tagli del governo alla ricerca http://snipurl.com/4erko _______________________________________________ latex2html mailing list [email protected] http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/latex2html
