[tex4ht] [glossaries] First (long) occurrence of an acronym not long in title

Wed Apr 2 17:49:38 CEST 2014

Hi Denis,

I just have found this old question at TeX.sx [1]. Although you use
different package for the acronyms than is used in that question, the
issue is same. Long form of acronym is used only on first acronym use,
but when you use it in the `\title`, you are using it actually at two
places - in the `<title>` element in html header and then the title
block in your document body. Full acronym is obviously printed only in
the html header, which is a first use.

Your sample produces following html:

...
<head><title>TE X for HTML (TE X4ht)</title>
...
<div class="maketitle">
<h2 class="titleHead"><a
href="#glo:tex4ht">TE X4ht</a></h2>
...

Some solutions exist, first and easier is to not use acronyms in the
title, second is to use custom config file with configuration for the
TITLE+ hook:

file denis.cfg:

\Preamble{xhtml}
\Configure{TITLE+}{TeX for HTML}
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble

now you can compile your document with

htlatex test denis

and resulting document contains:

...
<head> <title>TeX for HTML</title>
...
<h2 class="titleHead"><a
href="#glo:tex4ht">TE X for HTML (TE X4ht)</a></h2>
...

Best regards,
Michal
