[l2h] Problem with Gif generation after MiKTeX 2.4

[Peter Morling]

Hi,

If you run:

latex2html test.tex -debug > debug.out

---test.tex

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\section{Some section}
$n\times k$                     % one image will be created
\end{document}

---

you will get the following debug (I have cut out the important part)

--

and to stdout is printed:

(img1.gif is attached)

Running "C:\usr\local\bin\ppmtogif.exe -trans #ffffff <
C:\Temp\l2h2116\p1408.pnm > img1.gif"

Why is the gif created from p1408.pnm ? And not one of the .pnm files that
are cropped?

If I manually executes:

C:\testtex>C:\usr\local\bin\pnmcrop.exe -black -verbose -bot <
C:\Temp\l2h2116\p1408.pnm > C:\Temp\l2h2116\p1408.tmp
C:\usr\local\bin\pnmcrop.exe: Background color is #000000
C:\usr\local\bin\pnmcrop.exe: cropping 2 rows off the bottom

then

C:\testtex>C:\usr\local\bin\ppmtogif.exe -trans #ffffff <
C:\Temp\l2h2116\p1408.tmp > img1a.gif
C:\usr\local\bin\ppmtogif.exe: computing colormap...
C:\usr\local\bin\ppmtogif.exe: 2 colors found

I will get the correct image, attached: img1a.gif.

I hope this information is detailed enough.


Best,
Peter
