It is both executable which +simplifies `tex4ht` execution and a library which can be used to create +customized conversion programs. An example of such conversion program is [tex4ebook](https://github.com/michal-h21/tex4ebook) + +## License + +Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this software +under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License, version 1.3. + +How it works +------------ + +Default compilation script for `tex4ht`, named `htlatex` compiles LaTeX files to `HTML` with this command sequence: + + latex $latex_options 'code for loading tex4ht.sty \input{filename}' + latex $latex_options 'code for loading tex4ht.sty \input{filename}' + latex $latex_options 'code for loading tex4ht.sty \input{filename}' + tex4ht options filename + t4ht options filename + +The problem is that this is inefficient when you need to run program which +interact with LaTeX, such as `Makeindex` or `Bibtex`. In that case, you need to +create new script based on the default one, or run `htlatex` twice, which means +six LaTeX runs. + +Another problem is with `t4ht` application. It reads file `filename.lg`, +generated by `tex4ht`, where are instructions about generated files, `CSS` +instructions, calls to external applications, instructions for image +conversions etc. It can be instructed to copy generated files to some output +directory, but it doesn't preserve directory structure, so when you +have images in some subdirectory, they will be copied to the output directory, +but links will be pointing to non existing subdirectory. + +Image conversion is directed with the +[env file](http://www.tug.org/applications/tex4ht/mn35.html#index35-73001), +with really strange syntax based on whitespace and +[os dependent](http://www.tug.org/applications/tex4ht/mn-unix.html#index27-69005). +With `make4ht` build files, we have simple mean to fix these issues. We can +change image conversion parameters without need to modify the `env file`, +and call actions on the output files. These actions can be either external +programs such as `xslt` processors or `HTML tidy` or `Lua` functions. + +The idea is to make system controlled by a build file. Because `Lua` +interpreter is included in modern TeX distributions and `Lua` is ideal language +for such task, it was chosen as language in which build script are written. + + +# Build files + +## Commands + +By default, build file is saved in file named `filename + .mk4 extension`. +You can choose different build file with `-e` or `--build-file` command line +option. + +Sample: + + Make:htlatex() + Make:match("html$", "tidy -m -xml -utf8 -q -i ${filename}") + + `Make:htlatex()` is preconfigured command for calling LaTeX with `tex4ht` loaded on the input file. In this case it will be called one time. After compilation, `tidy` command is executed on the output `html` file. + +Note that you don't have to call `tex4ht` and `t4ht` commands explicitly in the build file, they are called automatically. + +You can add more commands like `Make:htlatex` with + + Make:add("name", "command", {parameters}, repetition) + + +it can be called with + + Make:name() + +`command` can be text template, or function: + + Make:add("text", "hello, input file: ${input}") + Make:add("function", function(params) for k, v in pairs(params) do print(k..": "..v) end) + +`parameters` is a table or `nil` value. + +Default parameters are: + +htlatex + +: used compiler + +input + +: input file + +latex_par + +: parameters to `latex` + +tex4ht_sty_par + +: parameters to `tex4ht.sty` + +tex4ht_par + +: parameters to `tex4ht` application + +t4ht_par + +: parameters to `t4ht` application + +outdir + +: output directory + +repetition + +: limit number of command execution. + +correct_exit + +: expected `exit code` from the command. + + +You may add your own parameters, they will be accessible in templates and +functions. + +With `repetition`, you can limit number of command executions. Its value +should be number or `nil`. This is used in the case of `tex4ht` and `t4ht` +commands, as they should be executed only once and they would be executed +multiple times if you include them in the build file, because they would be +called also by `make4ht`. With `repetition`, second execution is blocked. + +You can set expected exit code from a command with `correct_exit`. Compilation +is stopped when command returns different exit code. Situation is little bit +difficult with LaTeX (all engines and formats in fact), because it doesn't +differentiate between fatal and non fatal errors and returns same exit code +in all cases. Log parsing is used because of that, error code `1` is returned +in the case of fatal error, `0` is used otherwise. + +## File matches + +Other type of action which can be specified in the build file are +matches which may be called on the generated files: + + Make:match("html$", "tidy -m -xml -utf8 -q -i ${filename}") + +It tests filenames with `Lua` pattern matching and on matched items will +execute command or function, specified in the second argument. Parameters are +the same as in previous section, except `filename`, which contains generated +output name. + +### Filters + +Some default match actions which you can use are in the `filter` module. It +contains some functions which ares useful for fixing some `tex4ht` bugs or +shortcomings. + +Example: + + local filter = require "make4ht-filter" + local process = filter{"cleanspan", "fixligatures", "hruletohr"} + Make:htlatex() + Make:htlatex() + Make:match("html$",process) + + +Filter module is located in `make4ht-filter`.
