Hi,

Generation of HTML output for PMS currently doesn't work very well.
There are two problems:

1. All bold texts are transformed into PNG images.

The obvious solution for this is to postpone redefinition of the \b
command, as we already did for \i and \t.

2. The resulting pms.html contains many spurious image references,
like <img src="pmsNNNx.png" alt="PICT" /> where NNN runs from 0 to
about 500. The first of these is even inserted before the ?xml and
!DOCTYPE lines. None of these PNG files is created.

The reason is that TeX4ht is being broken by pdfpages.sty, or rather
by eso-pic.sty and atbegshi.sty (included from it) which mess around
with \shipout.

Since it doesn't make much sense to convert the cheat sheet (for which
pdfpages is required for) to HTML, I've skipped that include in the
TeX4ht case, and added a hyperlink instead.

Patch is included below. Please review.

@Fauli: Do you still read the gentoo-pms ML?

Ulrich


Postpone definition of \b command, in order not to confuse TeX4ht.
Don't load pdfpages.sty when processing with TeX4ht.
