TeX capacity exceeded when using amsmath split in equations

[alfredholmes]

The following file

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
f(x) = x \\
f(y) = z
\end{split}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Doesn't compile with make4ht Tested with v0.3m on Linux.

$ make4ht test.tex

Thanks for the report, I will fix that in TeX4ht sources. In the meantime, you can try this configuration file:

\Preamble{xhtml}
\makeatletter
\catcode`\:=11
\let\@begin:split\relax
\catcode`\:=12
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble

Thanks for that, the configuration file fixes the problem

Thanks for the confirmation. I've already updated TeX4ht sources, so the fix should be available in TeX Live soon.

I've just realised that there is a small issue with the suggested configuration since the equation number appears in the png as well as in the html

[michal-h21]

You are right, I haven't noticed that. The fix in TeX4ht sources produces the correct output, fortunately, so it should work correctly after the update.
