Hi All,
I use pdflatex and latex2html to convert my tex files into pdf and
html . My goal is to use exactly the same tex files for both
programs and to keep the use of the environments {latexonly} and
{htmlonly} to a minimum. I use a lot of screenshots which are in
png (fine for pdflatex) format to avoid having to convert them
during the latexh2mtl run. I previously used eps files, but the
conversion quality was not great and seeing as I have them in png
format then there is no need to convert them during a latex2html
run. I have managed to generate html files using the png files as
input, but only when the png files were located in the same
directory as the tex files. I want to access my png files by adding
the respective directories via the $TEXINPUTS variable.
Have you thought about using symbolic links to your images?
Do a 1st run of LaTeX2HTML, using the -no_images switch so that
it creates the target directory, but does not generate any images.
Then go into that directory and create symbolic links to all of
your PNG graphics.
Now your \htmladdimg commands can use relative links to the images,
without worrying about whether they will be accessible on the web.
If the files are accessed in this way, i.e. not in the same
directory as the tex files, then latex2html tries to convert them
and fails. Does anyone know why it tries to convert them? With eps
files they were converted to png's with names such as img1.png,
img2.png etc. Is it possible to access png files via the $TEXINPUTS
or do they have to be placed into the directory where the tex files
are located?
The other question I had is to do with the paths to the images.
When the png files are parallel to tex files then the translator
works fine with the exception that the paths to the images which
are included are absolute, e.g in the generated html the pictures
are referenced as follows:
node2.html: SRC="/scratch/simdoc_build/pdflatex_8904/develop/extern/
install/all_in_one//install_lic_install_configure_ini_tab.png"
Is it possible somehow to tell the translator that the paths should
be relative? Is there a latex2html option which I haven't seen? The
icons (relative path in the variable $ICONSERVER) and converted
equations are accessed how I want them via relative paths, e.g.:
node2.html: SRC="../icons/crossref.png"></A>.
node2.html: SRC="img1.png"
The best solution for me would be if the translator copied the png
files directly into the directory where the html is generated
Using symbolic links achieves the same thing, without making 2nd
copies of the files.
and they were given the names img1.png, img2.png etc. This would be
similar to how the translator behaves with eps files, but obviously
without having to convert them from eps to png using the tool
'pstoimg'. Do you know if this is possible? The translator I am
using is not the newest, 'This is LaTeX2HTML Version 2K.1beta
(1.62)'. Maybe a newer translator has this functionality?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Mark
Hope this helps,
Ross
