Re: [hlx] Translation of tabbing environments

[tom s. <to...@as...>]

Hi Chris:

Is there some way you could write this up so it would be an optional
fix?  Or is there a non-printing character that might work as well as  ?
This is a fix for a problem some of us never see, so it would be
better, I think, to include it as an option.

[hlx] Translation of tabbing environments

[Chris G. <cw...@ii...>]

There seems to be a bug in the rendering of some browsers, at least 
Galeon and Mozilla in Linux, in that if a table line starts with a 
unicode character &#nnn; the line is displayed as the intended character 
followed by a dirty smudge.  You can remove the smudge by dragging the 
mouse over it, miraculously displaying what was intended!

I have also tried Internet Explorer and Netscape in Windows, which are 
OK, and Opera in Linux, which is OK.

If you precede the unicode character with a no-break space (&#nbsp;) the 
rendering is OK.  So I have made a fix that does this to every line in a 
table generated from hyperlatex from a tabbing environment: every line, 
not just the affected ones, to keep the relative indentation.  The whole 
table appears to be shifted one space to the right, but that seems a 
small price to pay.

The fix is to the last few lines of hyperlatex-final-substitutions, 
which become

     ;; finally, convert the magic chars to their real counterpart
     (goto-char (point-min))
     (while (re-search-forward hyperlatex-meta-all nil t)
       (replace-match
        (char-to-string (- (preceding-char) hyperlatex-meta-offset)) t))
     ;; lines in tables that start with &#nnn; are not displayed
     ;; properly in some browsers, including Mozilla in Linux.
     ;; To fix this, insert   in front of all lines
     ;; This also has the advantage of preserving empty lines in
     ;; tabbing environments.
     ;; CWG 6/4/04
     (goto-char (point-min))
     (while (search-forward "colspan=\"99\" align=\"left\">" nil t)
       (replace-match "colspan=\"99\" align=\"left\"> " t t))
     ;; make labels
     (goto-char (point-min))
     (while (search-forward hyperlatex-meta-X nil t)
       (replace-match "")
       (if (looking-at "[ \t\n]*[^<> \t\n]+\\([ \t\n]\\)")
	  (goto-char (match-beginning 1))
	(insert "&nbsp;"))
       (insert "</a>"))
     ;; put back protected characters
     (goto-char (point-min))
     (while (re-search-forward meta-iso-regexp nil t)
       (replace-match (char-to-string
		      (string-to-number
		       (buffer-substring (match-beginning 1)
					 (match-end 1)))) t))))

(Forgive me for not reporting this in the form of a patch, but I have 
many other changes to hyperlatex.el for the way we use hyperlatex.  The 
only change is the insertion of the comment about lines in tables and 
the following 3 lines of lisp.)

As you can see from the comment this also fixes a problem in that empty 
lines in tabbing environments disappear.

Finally, there is also correction of what I think is a typo in the 
original of the above: "/a" was "/A".

Regards,

Chris George

The documentation mentions that the \ifhtmllevel environment is gone,
but that isn't the \htmllevel command, of course.  The discussion of
\htmllevel in the documentation has been commented out; I'm guessing
the \htmllevel command has been deprecated.

That's great news!

That's me [1]. I will do this as soon as the new version is available.
Please just announce it on the list.

Thanks.

[hlx] PNG support

[<to...@as...>]

Through the good graces of Jay Belanger, Hyperlatex now supports
generating PNG images, and the default next.gif image and friends have
been replaced with next.png etc.  The next step for me is getting the
release-packaging makefiles together.  As soon as I do that, there
will be a new version, clean of GIFs.

Do you know who at Debian to notify to make sure they re-classify
hyperlatex?

[hlx] Hyperlatex mailing list moved to sourceforge.net

[Roland J. <rol...@we...>]

Hi,

the current list of subscribers of the hyperlatex mailing list just moved 
to sourceforge.net. Everybody should have received a »welcome« email 
including information on how to unsubscribe and/or change subscription 
options.

This provides us with a set of at least two outstanding advantages 
compared to the former list:

* An archive of the list is automatically available through 
sourceforge.net.
* Each subscriber may opt for receiving a daily digest instead of 
individual mail.

The former mailing list has been removed. Therefore, I urge everybody to 
change the respective addressbook, contact list, or what not and use the 
following address to send hyperlatex related mail to:

	hyp...@li...

Thanks listening and happy mailing.

   Roland

[hlx] breathless announcement

[<to...@as...>]

Hello all:

At long last, the hyperlatex project has now been established at
sourceforge.  You can find it at hyperlatex.sourceforge.net.  The
mailing list is ready, too.  There's a link to it on the home page.
It's not yet clear to me how to get all the names from the old list
into the new manager, nor how to import the archives, but there are
little notes around promising that this is possible.  I would like
this to be the first task I delegate.

If you want to help fix things (Jay?), make yourself an account on
sourceforge, and tell me about it so I can add you to the list of
developers. 

If you are able to deal with managing the mailing list (Georg?
Pedro?) please do the same, and tell me about it so I can add you to
the list of maintainers.  

If you have the list archives (Roland?), tell me how to get them.
(Also, if you'd like to put it on the site, why don't you send along
the source to the FAQ, and I'll put that in the sourceforge CVS.)

If you have Makefiles that automate making releases or other chores
(Otfried?), or any other clever labor-saving suggestions, do send
those along.  Please.

If you've been harboring contributions to hyperlatex, now would be a
pretty good time to pass them along.  I have rearranged the hlx files,
and intend to make a path search capability for the next release, so
we should be able to deal with more contributed files than we
currently have.

That's all for now.  Enjoy.
