SFN:TeX4ht: TeX to HTML/MathML — conversion issues
The main problems that we faced when converting the TEX sources of Project Gutenberg Ebooks to HTML5/MathML formats are listed here.
HTML
- Text coded using
{\itshape ...}
not appeared as italic. - The html file where ToC entries should come is always blank. We have to copy the contents entries from title page to this page.
MathML
- The footnote counter in display equations appear in a new line without a link to its corresponding footnote text.
\textstyle
does not work for fractions.\intertext
in{gather}
is not rendered. It has converted in MathML, but rendering failed due to wrong tagging.\limits
in inline equations does not produce the desired output.- The equation number coded in
\tag{}
in starred display math environments (eg:equation*, eqnarray*, align*
etc.) render without right alignment like normal equation number. \makebox[][]{}
does not produce any code.- The font of equation number differs for equations coded in
{equation}, {eqnarray}
or any amsmath environements like{align}, {gather}
etc. - The alignment of equations coded in
{aligned}
environment completely lost when\textit
was used instead of\mathit
. - The above/belowskip of an equation is too small when it appears inside a list.
