Hello. Using LaTeX2HTML 1.70 (year-2002 version) in an OpenSuSE-11.1, Linux
operating system I wanted double spacing in a .html file produced from a .tex
file of the form MyFile.tex by executing a command of the form "latex2html
...... MyFile.tex". Toward that goal I tried the following two pairs of
commands in a .tex file containing simplified-Chinese text,
\usepackage{CJKutf8}, and at first multiple pairs of \begin{CJK}{UTF8{gbsn} and
\end{CJK} commands:
1):
\usepackage{setspace}
..
..
\doublespacing
..
..
2):
\usepackage{setspace}
..
..
\setstretch{2}
..
..
I used the Web browser Konqueror 3.5.10 to inspect the contents of the .html
files I produced. For both 1 and 2 the results of executing a command of the
form "latex MyFile.tex" were files of the form MyFile.dvi which correctly
contained double-spaced text. However, the result of executing a command of
the form "latex2html ...... MyFile.tex" was a file of the form MyFile.html
which, with the exception of an author and date in both English and simplified
Chinese, was not double-spaced. I presumed that multiple \doublespacing
commands in the same .tex file would not have caused problems.
My next experiment was to not use Chinese software packages and simplified
Chinese characters and see what happened with English-language text. Using the
above option 1 the spacing results for English-language text were the same as
earlier when using simplified-Chinese text, namely double-spaced in the .dvi
file and single-spaced in the .html file.
So with both English and Chinese text I found it was possible to obtain
double-spaced text in a .dvi file.
Question I. But what is a way in which I could have double-spaced, Chinese or
English text in a .html file produced using LaTeX2HTML?
I imagine or wonder if there might be two types of solutions to produce double
spacing in the .html file:
A) a set of LaTeX commands for double spacing internally in the .tex file and
B) externally in a latex2html command, a method which will enable double
spacing from a .tex file which does not contain commands for double spacing.
But, of course, what I imagine and reality could be different.
Question II. Or are there different results for 1 or 2 using either
simplified-Chinese or English text and a more recent version of LaTeX2HTML?
Unless someone advises otherwise, with a currently working installation of
LaTeX2HTML 1.70 I am hesitant to upgrade it in an OpenSuSE-11.1, Linux
operating system using probably version 3.5.10 of the K Desktop Environment
(KDE). With LaTeX2HTML's required software packages I suppose the safest way
to upgrade LaTeX2HTML might be to install the newer version of LaTeX2HTML when
installing, say version 11.2 or higher of the whole, OpenSuSE operating system
onto a freshly formatted, but otherwise blank area of a hard-disk drive.
Question III. Where on the Internet I may find thorough documentation for the
use of LaTeX2HTML?
Thanks in advance for help.
