Hello again, Professor Moore. By following some of your suggestions I have
the contents of the file Throwaway10.tex below. After executing latex and
latex2html commands on it, gratefully all of the symbols I wanted to be
displayed, both from inline and within the \begin{equation}, \end{equation}
pair, were visibly acceptably displayed in the resulting file
Throwaway10.html.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{epsfig,color,html,makeidx,amsmath,mathrsfs,hyperref}
\pagecolor{white}
\setlength{\parskip}{20pt plus 2pt minus 2pt}
\begin{document}
\baselineskip=29pt
\newcommand{\Lint}{\ensuremath{\mathscr{L}_{\mathrm{int}}}}
\newcommand{\Hint}{\ensuremath{\mathscr{H}_{\mathrm{int}}}}
\newcommand{\etasigdot}{\ensuremath{\dot{\eta}_{\sigma }}}
\vspace{5 mm}
\begin{equation}
\large{\Hint=\dfrac{\partial \Lint}{\partial
\etasigdot}\,\etasigdot-\Lint=-\Lint}
\end{equation}
\noindent For inline mathematics within text I am trying $\Lint$.
\end{document}
I found that I could use either \small or \large for the equation and obtain
visibly acceptable results in the file Throwaway10.html. However, after
replacing \large by \normalsize, the LaTeX run on Throwaway10.tex reported
the \normalsize command was invalid, if I remember correctly; and the
LaTex2HTML run on Throwaway10.tex resulted in Lint and Hint within the
equation which did not appear script-like in the resulting Throwaway10.html
file; but I think the inline script Lint was probably displayed properly in
Throwaway10.html. Using no macro, such as \large or \small, at all before
the equation, I think produced the same results in the resulting .html file
as using \normalsize before it.
Back to using the \large macro, three images were attempted to be produced
by LaTeX2HTML:
img1.png, the whole equation as one image;
img2.png, a blank image as viewed in the file manager PCManFM 0.9.8, or a
very small, doubly-grey-toned image when viewed in the Gnu Not Unix (GNU)
Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) [In the LaTeX run on the corresponding
Throwaway10.tex file with the above contents a pstoimg and pnmcrop error was
reported; but there was no visible consequence of it of any kind in the file
Throwaway10.html when viewed in a Konqueror Web browser. Therefore without
consequence, if I wish, I could ignore this problem, whatever was its
cause.] and
img3.png, for the script Lint, which I guess might have corresponded to the
inline image within the text.
As for "diagnosing" the root cause of the problem when using \normalsize or
no macro at all before the equation, I did not get very far. I finally
understood that I should in the subfolder entitled "Throwaway10" execute the
command "latex images.tex" produced within the subfolder "Throwaway10" by
LaTeX2HTML. But I wasn't sure of everything to do after that. Toward
"diagnosing" problems with images should "latex2html -debug..." afterwards
be run on images.tex in the subdirectory "Throwaway10" or on Throwaway10.tex
in its directory?
>From the Internet I learned that your use of \, within mathematics adds a
small amount of, I presume, horizontal space. Thanks for your valuable
help, Professor Moore. As a result of what you wrote me so far, even
without understanding everything or knowing how to "diagnose" all image
problems, I can gratefully at least produce visibly acceptable script-symbol
output in a .html file.
