[tex4ht] Working examples of bibtex / multibib with tex4ebook?

[Michal Hoftich]

Hi Jürgen,

it is possible that TeX4ht files in Miktex are too old. Alphabetic
style works for me correctly, with one small issue, the links from
citations to the bibliography don't work. A BibLaTeX update could
cause it, because I think links used to work.

I also found that the multibib issue that I experienced was caused by
naming one of the bibliographies as a "book". Multibib then loads a
file named book.aux in the way, which causes TeX4ht to load
configurations for the Book class. As I was using the Article class,
this fact caused a clash. When I renamed the bibliography to a
different name, the file compiled without errors.

Best regards,
Michal
