[hlx] Hyperlatex xhtml errors

[David P. <po...@cs...>]

Hi
Is hyperlatex being maintained?

I am writing a book that will be able to be bought or downloaded for 
free in html. The html version has been carefully written in hyperlatex 
to produce pdf and xhtml. I need to have proper xhtml produced.

I downloaded the latest version "2.9-in-waiting-rk (oct06)" from 
http://hyperlatex.sourceforge.net/ (which is different from the latest 
version, from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hyperlatex/ which is 2.7)

It now produces non-compliant xhtml code. It adds </p> to after the 
header and after headings. Even the user manual shows this error when 
run with this version. (Interestingly the manual on 
http://hyperlatex.sourceforge.net/ which was compiled with version 2.8 
does not have this error, and validates; see e.g., 
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fhyperlatex.sourceforge.net%2Fhtml%2Fhyperlatex_67.html> 


Is this something that might be fixed? Or should I look for a different 
translator from latex to xhtml?

Thanks
David

p.s. The book is at http://cs.ubc.ca/~poole/aibook/html/ArtInt.html

Hello all:

Hyperlatex is being maintained, but by me, who is no longer using it
centrally in my work, as I was when I started maintaining it.  (I would
be delighted to have help.)

Hyperlatex did not produce compliant xhtml in version 2.7, and an
attempt to improve it was made for version 2.9.  I checked in
2.9-in-waiting as a favor to a user, which was probably a mistake.  (I
think other pages fail under 2.8.)

Having a deadline pass this very evening, I will be spending some time
with the hlx code in the next couple of weeks.  Along with this one,
there is another outstanding issue reported a few weeks ago that I
intend to address.  I'm sure these can and will be fixed.  Long-term,
though, I'm not sure what to suggest.
