more formatting issues + equation problem

[gbarnich]

Dear Michal,

I have a couple of smaller issues.

1) for references and acknowledgments, I use sections without numbering \section, but \addcontentsline to make it appear in table of contents. The problem that arises is that these go in front of the document in a funny way. The workaround is to remove all \section, but is there another possibility ? see example below

2) spacing after \cite command in the text is wrong, a space before the number but no space after the bracket, example "Strominger [ 1,2]has proposed ...

3) there is a problem with one equation, line 1256 of the source file, if I comment it out everything runs fine otherwise I get the following error

Copy: cp currentalgebrase4.html currentalgebra-epub3/OEBPS Tidy: currentalgebrase5.html line 827 column 15 - Error: unexpected in line 828 column 2 - Error: unexpected in line 838 column 31 - Error: unexpected in line 846 column 30 - Error: unexpected in line 847 column 95 - Error: unexpected in line 847 column 101 - Error: unexpected in Copy: cp currentalgebrase5.html currentalgebra-epub3/OEBPS

4) there is no spacing after inline equation + text example : $M=0=J$ or appears as M=0=Jor

here is the example:

Hello Glenn,

4) I encountered similiar issues when closing environments. So, I manually add a space, e.g. "I love {\tt bash\ } but not {\tt csh}.". Perhaps, you can also manually add a "\ " after your math? It should look good in the epub version as well as in your .dvi version - at least, I want to generate an .epub and a .dvi version from the same latex source code and both output formats must look good.

3) I encountered similiar issues here and there and added a space by hand, e.g. [ 1,2 ]. This is not correct, but consistent. Now, the problem for citations is that you don't have easy control over the spacing as it's automatically generated. If Michal can help, great. Otherwise, dig deep how to change the closing character "]" to "\ ]". Then, to get the space ofter the "]", you can add a manual space. I assume that should work "\cite{important}\ ..."

Hello Glenn,

1) you can put starred sections on standalone page with something like

\CutAt{likesection, section}

in the custom cfg file. Starred sectioning commands are named with prefix like* But at the moment this causes prblem, because title page doesn't show in Azardi. I have to figure out the reason.

2) I see. It must be caused with some bug in tex4ebook, because with plain tex4ht it doesn't happen.

3) This is caused by some known problem in mathml support in tex4ht. See http://tug.org/applications/tex4ht/mml.html

Concretely, it is caused by code like {}^{4}. You may declare new command

\newcommand\emptybase{}

and in custom config file, after \begin{document}, redefine it like:

\renewcommand\emptybase{{\csname HCode\endcsname{}}}

as is recommended on the tex4ht page.

4) Yes, it happens, I have also to investigate on this.

Best regards, Michal

Regarding issue 2), it seems to be caused by --tidy option. Without this option,

<p class="noindent">In recent work, Strominger <span class="cite">[<a 
href="#Xstrominger_2013">1</a>, <a 
href="#XStrominger_2013lka">2</a>]</span> has proposed

is produced, with --tidy, the result is:

<p class="noindent">In recent work, Strominger 
<span class="cite">[
<a href="#Xstrominger_2013">1</a>,&#160;
<a href="#XStrominger_2013lka">2</a>]</span>has proposed to

note that the newline characters are displayed as space.

Issue 4) may be related to --tidy as well, or it may be some misconfiguration in the cfg file or source file, because this MWE doesn't show this behaviour:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\let\href=\url
\begin{document}
In recent work, Strominger \cite{strominger:2013,Strominger:2013lka} has proposed to replace the computation of integrated surface charges

I hope I fixed --tidy option problem, the issue was that I used -xml tidy option, as otherwise tidy stopped on mathml or html5 tags used in epub3. But this option put all starting elements on new lines, resulting in bad spacing. Now I created new tidy config file, where all new html5, mathml, and svg elements are listed, so tidy shouldn't break on them.

New code is in the devel branch for testing.

Tested the devel branch, unfortunately it introduces many more errors (can send details if needed). However your explanation completely solves the problem for me: first run with tidy to see if there are errors, second run without tidy option to get nice formatting at the end Glenn

OK, if you use tidy only to see html errors, your solution will work. What are the errors you see? There are much more Tidy warnings, which I don't know how to suppress. These are produced for all new html5, mathml and svg elements. Or are there any other errors? Plese send me the details.

Hi Glenn, before reading your new email I figured out that the configuraton file was in wrong form and new inline tags weren't recognized. I pushed corrected version, with warning messages suppressed, to the devel branch. Michal

Now it works perfectly with the -tidy option in the devel branch, G
