Prevent tex4ht to load enumitem

[cedounet]

Apparently it breaks on kobo e-reader, see https://github.com/hendricius/the-sourdough-framework/issues/306

I was able to create a MWE that causes compilation errors with the enumitem package and the options used in the document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[description]{style=nextline, leftmargin=0cm}
\begin{document}
Hello

\begin{description}
  \item[hello] world
  \item[second] item
\end{description}
\end{document}

This version of enumitem.4ht fixes the errors:

\immediate\write-1{version 2022-05-01-08:25}

\AddToHook{env/enumerate/end}{\ifx\enit@after\@empty\else%
  \let\enit:after\enit@after
  \let\enit@after\@empty
  \let\enumerate:executed\@empty
  \append:def\end:DL{\enit:after}
\fi}

\def\enit@postlabel{}
\Hinput{enumitem}
\endinput

I hope it fixes the error in the Sourdough Framework too.

Thanks @michal-h21.

We "fixed" as per the commit by just not loading it. Thing is that the document compiled and opened fine on calibre/... but was not opening on the kobo reader.

Do you have a kobo reader to test?

[michal-h21]

@cedounet I thought that the issue for Kobo was caused by this crash with Enumitem, because it produced invalid HTML. Are there also other issues? Unfortunately, I don't have access to Kobo, so I cannot test it myself.

I don’t know what crashed the kobo, but I know that only loading the Enumitem package crashed it. No need to use any of its feature to break the build.

same as you I do not have the device so can’t really tell you more.
