i've been hacking latex2html's source code (version 2002-2-1) about a
bit (just to make it do what i want), and am going to try turning some
what i've done into useful patches. it looks to me as if some of the
files in versions/html*.pl are obsolete: if i could have that
confirmed/denied, then i could be sure i'm preparing patches for just
the relevant files.
specifically ...
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 20274 Jul 11 1999 versions/html2_1.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 7704 Sep 27 06:15 versions/html2_2.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 2666 Jun 6 1997 versions/html3_0.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 87056 Sep 17 1999 versions/html3_1.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 47036 Apr 13 2002 versions/html3_2.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 60307 Apr 13 2002 versions/html4_0.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 60964 Apr 13 2002 versions/html4_01.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 60964 Aug 21 2002 versions/html4_1.pl
a) it appears that these are never used:
html2_1.pl html2_2.pl html3_1.pl
b) html4_01.pl and html4_1.pl are identical to one another.
html4_01.pl is never used, because if you say `-html_version 4.01',
the code rounds 4.01 to 4.0 so you get the same result as if you'd
said `-html_version 4.0'. i'd guess that the idea behind html4_1.pl
is to let the user say `-html_version 4.1' when they want HTML 4.01
(this doesn't quite work, because the DOCTYPE mentions 4.1).
_if_ i have all that right, then the best course of action would be
to stop the code rounding 4.01 to 4.0, and delete html4_1.pl.
thanks in advance for any guidance.
