<div>Hi,</div>
<div>I installed MacTex on a new Air about three months ago, and today I wanted to compile for the first time (on the new computer) a file requiring html.sty. This was no issue with my previous Mac, but now the style file is not installed (I verified this using
Help>Open Style File as well as by copying the style file from the internet in the folder with the file needing it, when it worked). I can solve the specific issue on my own, e.g., put the style file in the appropriate local folder, but I am wondering</div>
<ol>
<li>Why the file was not downloaded and installed on the fly (am I confused concerning this capability?). Perhaps because I already have the entire system, suggesting that this particular style file is no longer included, maybe because it is obsolete (and replaced
with what?)</li><li>Why <span style="font-weight: bold;">nothing</span> happens when I try to compile. No error, log file is completely empty, etc. I can’t help feeling that I messed something somewhere.</li></ol>
<div>Thank you.</div>
