+`make4ht` is a build system for \TeX4ht, \TeX\ to XML converter. It provides a command line tool
+that drives the conversion process. It also provides a library that can be used to create
+customized conversion tools. An example of such a tool is
+[tex4ebook](https://github.com/michal-h21/tex4ebook), a tool for conversion from \TeX\ to
ePub and other e-book formats.
-## How it works
+The basic conversion from \LaTeX\ to `HTML` using `make4ht` can be executed using the following command:
-### The issues with default `tex4ht` conversion commands
+ $ make4ht filename.tex
+It will produce a file named `filename.html` if the compilation goes without fatal errors.
-`tex4ht` system supports several output formats, most notably `XHTML`, `HTML 5` and `ODT`.
-The conversion can be invoked using several commands. These commands invoke LaTeX\ or Plain TeX
-with special instructions to load `tex4ht.sty` package. The \TeX\ run produces special `DVI` file
-which contains the code for desired output format. Produced `DVI` file is then processed and
-desired output files are created.
-The basic command provided by `tex4ht` is named `htlatex`. It compiles \LaTeX\
+# Command line options {#clioptions}
+\label{sec:clioptions}
+
+ make4ht - build system for TeX4ht
+ Usage:
+ make4ht [options] filename ["tex4ht.sty op." "tex4ht op."
+ "t4ht op" "latex op"]
+ -a,--loglevel (default status) Set log level.
+ possible values: debug, info, status, warning, error, fatal
+ -b,--backend (default tex4ht) Backend used for xml generation.
+ possible values: tex4ht or lua4ht
+ -c,--config (default xhtml) Custom config file
+ -d,--output-dir (default "") Output directory
+ -e,--build-file (default nil) If build filename is different
+ than `filename`.mk4
+ -f,--format (default nil) Output file format
+ -j,--jobname (default nil) Set the jobname
+ -l,--lua Use lualatex for document compilation
+ -m,--mode (default default) Switch which can be used in the makefile
+ -n,--no-tex4ht Disable DVI file processing with tex4ht command
+ -s,--shell-escape Enables running external programs from LaTeX
+ -u,--utf8 For output documents in utf8 encoding
+ -x,--xetex Use xelatex for document compilation
+ -v,--version Print version number
+ <filename> (string) Input filename
+
+
+It is still possible to invoke `make4ht` in the same way as is invoked `htlatex`:
+
+ $ make4ht filename "customcfg, charset=utf-8" "-cunihtf -utf8" "-dfoo"
+
+Note that this will not use `make4ht` routines for the output directory handling.
+See section \ref{sec:output-dir} for more information about this issue.
+To use these routines, change the previous listing to:
+
+ $ make4ht -d foo filename "customcfg, charset=utf-8" "-cunihtf -utf8"
+
+This call has the same effect as the following:
+
+ $ make4ht -u -c customcfg -d foo filename
+
+
+Output directory doesn't have to exist, it will be created automatically.
+Specified path can be relative to the current directory, or absolute:
+
+ $ make4ht -d use/current/dir/ filename
+ $ make4ht -d ../gotoparrentdir filename
+ $ make4ht -d ~/gotohomedir filename
+ $ make4ht -d c:\documents\windowspathsareworkingtoo filename
+
+The short options that don't take parameters can be collapsed:
+
+
+ $ make4ht -ulc customcfg -d foo filename
+
+
+To pass output from the other commands to `make4ht` use the `-` character as a
+filename. It is best to use this feature together with the `--jobname` or `-j`
+option.
+
+ $ cat hello.tex | make4ht -j world -
+
+By default, `make4ht` tries to be quiet, so it hides most of the command line
+messages and the output from the executed commands. It will display only status
+messages, warnings and errors. The logging level can be selected using the
+`--loglevel` or `-a` options. If the compilation fails, it may be useful to display more
+information using the `info` or `debug` levels.
+
+
+ $ make4ht -a debug faulty.tex
+
+
+
+# Why `make4ht`? -- `htlatex` issues
+
+
+\TeX4ht\ system supports several output formats, most notably `XHTML`, `HTML 5`
+and `ODT`, but it also supports `TEI` or `Docbook`.
+
+The conversion can be invoked using several scripts, which are distributed with \TeX4ht.
+They differ in parameters passed to the underlying commands.
+
+These scripts invoke \LaTeX\ or Plain \TeX\ with special instructions to load
+the `tex4ht.sty` package. The \TeX\ run produces a special `DVI` file
+that contains the code for the desired output format. The produced `DVI` file
+is then processed using the `tex4ht` command, which in conjunction with the
+`t4ht` command produces the desired output files.
+
+## Passing command line arguments
+
+The basic conversion script provided by \TeX4ht\ system is named `htlatex`. It 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 $tex4ht_options filename
- t4ht $t4ht_options filename
+ $ 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 $tex4ht_options filename
+ $ t4ht $t4ht_options filename
The options for various parts of the system can be passed on the command line:
- htlatex filename "tex4ht.sty options" "tex4ht_options" "t4ht_options" "latex_options"
+ $ htlatex filename "tex4ht.sty options" "tex4ht_options" "t4ht_options" "latex_options"
For basic `HTML` conversion it is possible to use the most basic invocation:
- htlatex filename.tex
+ $ htlatex filename.tex
-It can be much more involved for `HTML 5` output in `UTF-8` encoding:
+It can be much more involved for the `HTML 5` output in `UTF-8` encoding:
- htlatex filename.tex "xhtml,html5,charset=utf-8" "-cmozhtf -utf8"
+ $ htlatex filename.tex "xhtml,html5,charset=utf-8" " -cmozhtf -utf8"
`make4ht` can simplify it:
- make4ht -uf html5 filename.tex
+ $ make4ht -u filename.tex
+
+The `-u` option requires the `UTF-8` encoding. `HTML 5` is used as the default
+output format by `make4ht`.
+
+More information about the command line arguments can be found in section
+\ref{sec:clioptions}.
+
+
+## Compilation sequence
-Another issue is the fixed compilation order and hard-coded number of LaTeX invocations.
+`htlatex` has a fixed compilation order and a hard-coded number of \LaTeX\ invocations.
-When you need to run a program which interact with LaTeX, such as `Makeindex`
-or `Bibtex`, you need to create a new script based on `htlatex`, or run
-`htlatex` twice, which means that LaTeX will be invoked six times.
-This can lead to significantly long compilation times. `make4ht` provides build files and
-extensions, which can be used for interaction with external tools.
+It is not possible to execute additional commands during the compilation.
+When we want to run a program that interacts with \LaTeX, such as `Makeindex`
+or `Bibtex`, we have two options. The first option is to create a new script based on
+`htlatex` and add the wanted commands to the modified script. The second option
+is to execute `htlatex`, then the additional and then `htlatex` again. The
+second option means that \LaTeX\ will be invoked six times, as each call to
+`htlatex` executes three calls to \LaTeX. This can lead to significantly long
+compilation times.
-It is also possible to have several compilation modes. When you just add new text to a document,
-which doesn't contain cross-references, don't add new stuff to the table of contents, etc.,
-it is possible to use the `draft` mode which will invoke LaTeX only once. It
-can save quite a lot of the compilation time:
+`make4ht` provides a solution for this issue using a build file, or extensions.
+These can be used for interaction with external tools.
- make4ht -um draft -f html5 filename.tex
+`make4ht` also provides compilation modes, which enables to select commands that
+should be executed using a command line option.
-There are also issues with a behaviour of the `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 a subdirectory, they will be copied to the output directory.
+There is a built-in `draft` mode, which invokes \LaTeX\ only once, instead of
+the default three invocations. It is useful for the compilations of the
+document before its final stage, when it is not important that all
+cross-references work. It can save quite a lot of the compilation time:
+
+ $ make4ht -um draft filename.tex
+
+More information about the build files can be found in section \ref{sec:buildfiles}.
+
+## Handling of the generated files
+\label{sec:output-dir}
+
+There are also issues with the behavior of the `t4ht` application. It reads the
+`.lg` file generated by the `tex4ht` command. This file contains
+information about the generated files, `CSS` instructions, calls to the external
+applications, instructions for image conversions, etc.
+
+
+`t4ht` can be instructed to copy the generated files to an output directory, but
+it doesn't preserve the directory structure. When the images are placed in a
+subdirectory, they will be copied to the output directory, losing the directory structure.
Links will be pointing to a non-existing subdirectory. The following command
should copy all output files to the correct destinations.
- make4ht -d outputdir filename.tex
+ $ make4ht -d outputdir filename.tex
+
+## Image conversion and post-processing of the generated files
+
+\TeX4ht\ can convert parts of the document to images. This is useful
+for diagrams or complicated math, for example.
-The image conversion is configured in the
-[env file](http://www.tug.org/applications/tex4ht/mn35.html#index35-73001),
-which has really strange syntax based and the rules are
-[os dependent](http://www.tug.org/applications/tex4ht/mn-unix.html#index27-69005).
+By default, the image conversion is configured in a
+[`.env` file](http://www.tug.org/applications/tex4ht/mn35.html#index35-73001).
+It has a bit of strange syntax, with
+[operating system dependent](http://www.tug.org/applications/tex4ht/mn-unix.html#index27-69005) rules.
`make4ht` provides simpler means for the image conversion in the build files.
+It is possible to change the image conversion parameters without a need to modify the `.env` file.
+The process is described in section \ref{sec:imageconversion}.
+
+It is also possible to post-process the generated output files. The post-processing can be done
+either using external programs such as `XSLT` processors and `HTML Tidy` or
+using `Lua` functions. More information can be found in section \ref{sec:postprocessing}.
-With `make4ht` build files, we have simple mean to fix these issues. We can
-change image conversion parameters without the need to modify the `env file`,
-or execute 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 the build scripts are written.

-The template can get variable value from the parameters table using a
-`${var_name}` placeholder. Templates are executed using operating system, so
-they should invoke existing OS commands. Function commands may execute system

-
-
-### Parameters table
-`parameters` parameter is optional, it can be table or `nil` value, which
-should be used if you want to use the `repetition` parameter, but don't want to
-modify the parameters table.
+### Repetition
-The table with default parameters is passed to all commands, they can be accessed from command functions
-or templates. When you specify your own parameters in the command definition, these additional
-parameters are added to the default parameters table for this particular
-command. You can override the default parameters in the parameters table.
+The `repetition` parameter specifies the maximum number of executions of the
+particular command. This is used for instance for `tex4ht` and `t4ht`
+commands, as they should be executed only once in the compilation. They would
+be executed multiple times when they are included in the build file, as they
+are called by `make4ht` by default. Because these commands allow only one
+`repetition`, the second execution is blocked.
+### Expected exit code
+You can set the expected exit code from a command with a `correct_exit` key in the
+settings table. The compilation will be terminated when the command returns a
+different exit code.
-The default parameters are following:
+ Make:add("biber", "biber ${input}", {correct_exit=0})

+Commands that execute lua functions can return the numerical values using the `return` statement.
-: used compiler
-`input`
+This mechanism isn't used for \TeX, because it doesn't differentiate between fatal and non-fatal errors.
+It returns the same exit code in all cases. Because of this, log parsing is used for a fatal error detection instead.
+Error code value `1` is returned in the case of a fatal error, `0` is used
+otherwise. The `Make.testlogfile` function can be used in the build file to

-Repetition is number which specifies a maximal number of executions of the
-particular command. This is used for instance for `tex4ht` and `t4ht`
-commands, as they should be executed only once in the compilation. They would
-be executed multiple times if you include them in the build file because they
-are called by `make4ht` by default. Because these commands allow only one
-`repetition`, the second execution will be blocked.
+## File matches
+\label{sec:postprocessing}
-### Expected exit code
+Another type of action that can be specified in the build file is
+`Make:match`. It can be used to post-process the generated files:
-You can set the expected exit code from a command with a `correct_exit` key in the
-parameters table. The compilation will be stopped when the command returns a
-different exit code.
+ Make:match("html$", "tidy -m -xml -utf8 -q -i ${filename}")
-This mechanism isn't used for LaTeX (for all TeX engines and formats, in
-fact), because it doesn't differentiate between fatal and non-fatal errors, and
-it returns the same exit code in all cases. Log parsing is used because of
-that, error code `1` is returned in the case of fatal error, `0` is used
-otherwise. The `Make.testlogfile` function can be used in the build file to
-detect compilation errors in the TeX log file.
+The above example will clean all output `HTML` files using the `tidy` command.
-## File matches
+The `Make:match` action tests output filenames using a `Lua` pattern matching function.
+It executes a command or a function, specified in the second argument, on files
+whose filenames match the pattern.
-Another type of action which can be specified in the build file is
-`match`. It can be called on the generated files:
+The commands to be executed can be specified as strings. They can contain
+`${var_name}` placeholders, which are replaced with corresponding variables
+from the `settings` table. The templating system was described in
+subsection \ref{sec:commandfunction}. There is an additional variable
+available in this table, called `filename`. It contains the name of the current
+output file.
- Make:match("html$", "tidy -m -xml -utf8 -q -i ${filename}")
-It tests output file names with `Lua` pattern matching and on matched items will
-execute a command or a function, specified in the second argument. Commands may be
-specified as strings, the templates will be expanded, `${var_name}` placeholders
-will be replaced with corresponding variables from the `parameters` table,
-described in the previous subsection. One additional variable is available:
-`filename`. It contains the name of the current output file.
+If a function is used instead, it will get two parameters. The first one is the
+current filename, the second one is the `settings` table.
-The above example will clean all output `HTML` files using the `tidy` command.
+ Make:match("html$", function(filename, settings)
+ print("Post-processing file: ".. filename)
+ print("Available settings")
+ for k,v in pairs(settings)
+ print(k,v)
+ end
+ return true
+ end)
-If function is used instead, it will get two parameters.
-The first one is a current filename, the second one
-table with parameters.
+Multiple post-processing actions can be executed on each filename. The Lua
+action functions can return an exit code. If the exit code is false, the execution
+of the post-processing chain for the current file will be terminated.
+### Filters
+\label{sec:filters}
+To make it easier to post-process the generated files using the `match`
+actions, `make4ht` provides a filtering mechanism thanks to the
+`make4ht-filter` module.
-### Filters
+The `make4ht-filter` module returns a function that can be used for the filter
+chain building. Multiple filters can be chained into a pipeline. Each filter
+can modify the string that is passed to it from the previous filters. The
+changes are then saved to the processed file.
-Some default `match` actions which can be used are available from the
-`make4ht-filter` module. It contains some functions which are useful for
-fixing some `tex4ht` bugs or shortcomings.
+Several built-in filters are available, it is also possible to create new ones.
-Example:

local filter = require "make4ht-filter"
local process = filter{"cleanspan", "fixligatures", "hruletohr"}
Make:htlatex()

+
+Function `filter` accepts also function arguments, in this case this function
+takes file contents as a parameter and modified contents are returned.

-### make4ht-aeneas-config package
-Companion for the `aeneas` DOM filter is the `make4ht-aeneas-config` plugin. It
-can be used to write Aeneas configuration file or execute Aeneas on the
-generated HTML files.
-Available functions:
+## Image conversion
+\label{sec:imageconversion}
-write\_job(parameters)
+It is possible to convert parts of the \LaTeX\ input as pictures. It can be used
+for preserving the appearance of math or diagrams, for example.
-: write Aenas job configuration to `config.xml` file. See the [Aeneas
- documentation](https://www.readbeyond.it/aeneas/docs/clitutorial.html#processing-jobs)
- for more information about jobs.
+These pictures are stored in a special `DVI` file, which can be processed by
+a `DVI` to image commands, such as `dvipng` or `dvisvgm`.
-execute(parameters)
+This conversion is normally configured in the `tex4ht.env` file. This file
+is system dependent and it has quite an unintuitive syntax.
+The configuration is processed by the `t4ht` application and the conversion
+command is called for all pictures.
-: execute Aeneas.
+It is possible to disable `t4ht` image processing and configure image
+conversion in the build file using the `image` action:
-process\_files(parameters)
+ Make:image("png$",
+ "dvipng -bg Transparent -T tight -o ${output} -pp ${page} ${source}")
-: process the audio and generated subtitle files.
+`Make:image` takes two parameters, a `Lua` pattern to match the image name, and
+the action.
-By default, the `smil` file is created. It is assumed that there is audio file
-in `mp3` format named as the TeX file. It is possible to use different formats
-and file names using mapping.
+Action can be either a string template with the conversion command
+or a function that takes a table with parameters as an argument.
-The configuration options can be passed directly to the functions or set using
-`filter_settings "aeneas-config" {parameters}` function.
+There are three parameters:
+ - `output` - output image filename
+ - `source` - `DVI` file with the pictures
+ - `page` - page number of the converted image
-Available parameters:
+## The `mode` variable
+The `mode` variable available in the build process contains
+contents of the `--mode` command line option. It can be used to run some commands
+conditionally. For example:
-lang
+ if mode == "draft" then
+ Make:htlatex{}
+ else
+ Make:htlatex{}
+ Make:htlatex{}
+ Make:htlatex{}
+ end
-: document language. It is interfered from the HTML file, so it is not necessary to set it.
+In this example (which is the default configuration used by `make4ht`),
+\LaTeX\ is called only once when `make4ht` is called with the `draft` mode:
+
+ make4ht -m draft filename
-map
+## The `settings` table
+\label{sec:settings}
-: mapping between HTML, audio and subtitle files. More info bellow.
+It is possible to access the parameters outside commands, file matches
+and image conversion functions. For example, to convert the document to
+the `OpenDocument Format (ODT)`, the following settings can be used. They are
+based on the `oolatex` command:
-text\_type
+ settings.tex4ht_sty_par = settings.tex4ht_sty_par ..",ooffice"
+ settings.tex4ht_par = settings.tex4ht_par .. " ooffice/! -cmozhtf"
+ settings.t4ht_par = settings.t4ht_par .. " -cooxtpipes -coo "
-: type of the input. The `aeneas` DOM filter produces `unparsed` text type.
+(Note that it is possible to use the `--format odt` option
+which is superior to the previous code. This example is intended just as an
+illustration)
-id\_sort
+There are some functions to simplify access to the settings:
-: sorting of id attributes. Default value is `numeric`.
+`set_settings{parameters}`
-id\_regex
+: overwrite settings with values from a passed table
-: regular expression to parse the id attributes.
+`settings_add{parameters}`
-sub\_format
+: add values to the current settings
-: generated subtitle format. Default `smil`.
+`filter_settings "filter name" {parameters}`
+: set settings for a filter
-Additional parameters for the job configuration file:
+`get_filter_settings(name)`
-- description
-- prefix
-- config\_name
-- keep\_config
+: get settings for a filter
+For example, it is possible to simplify the sample from the previous code listings:
-It is possible to generate multiple HTML files from the LaTeX source. For
-example, `tex4ebook` generates separate file for each chapter or section. It is
-possible to set options for each HTML file, in particular names of the
-corresponding audio files. This mapping is done using `map` parameter.
+ settings_add {
+ tex4ht_sty_par =",ooffice",
+ tex4ht_par = " ooffice/! -cmozhtf",
+ t4ht_par = " -cooxtpipes -coo "
+ }
-Example:
+Settings for filters and extensions can be set using `filter_settings`:
- filter_settings "aeneas-config" {
- map = {
- ["sampleli1.html"] = {audio_file="sample.mp3"},
- ["sample.html"] = false
- }
+
+ filter_settings "test" {
+ hello = "world"
}
-Table keys are the configured file names. It is necessary to insert them as
-`["filename.html"]`, because of Lua syntax rules.
+These settings can be retrieved in the extensions and filters using the `get_filter_settings` function:
-This example maps audio file `sample.mp3` to a section subpage. The main HTML
-file, which may contain title and table of contents doesn't have a
-corresponding audio file.
+ function test(input)
+ local options = get_filter_settings("test")
+ print(options.hello)
+ return input
+ end
+
+### Default settings
-Filenames of the sub files corresponds to the chapter numbers, so they are not
-stable when a new chapter is added. It is possible to request file names
-interfered from the chapter titles using the `sec-filename` option or `tex4ht`.
+The default parameters are the following:
-Available `map` options:
+`htlatex`
+: used \TeX\ engine
-audio\_file
+`input`
-: the corresponding audio file
+: content of `\jobname`, see also the `tex_file` parameter.
-sub\_file
+`interaction`
-: name of the generated subtitle file
+: interaction mode for the \TeX\ engine. The default value is `batchmode` to
+ suppress user input on compilation errors. It also suppresses most of the \TeX\
+ compilation log output. Use the `errorstopmode` for the default behavior.
-The following options are same as their counter-parts from the main parameters table and generally don't need to be set:
+`tex_file`
-- prefix
-- file\_desc
-- file\_id
-- text\_type
-- id\_sort
-- id\_prefix
-- sub\_format
+: input \TeX\ filename
+`latex_par`
-Full example:

-This configuration is processed by the `t4ht` application and conversion
-commands are called for all pictures.
+: the output directory
-It is possible to disable `t4ht` image processing and configure image
-conversion in the build file:
+`correct_exit`
- Make:image("png$",
- "dvipng -bg Transparent -T tight -o ${output} -pp ${page} ${source}")
+: expected `exit code` from the command. The compilation will be terminated
+ if the exit code of the executed command has a different value.
-`Make:image` takes two parameters, pattern to match image name and action.
-Action can be either string template with conversion command,
-or function which takes a table with parameters as an argument.
+# Configuration file {#configfile}
-There are three parameters:
+It is possible to globally modify the build settings using the configuration
+file. It is a special version of a build file where the global settings can be set.
- - `output` - output image file name
- - `source` - `dvi` file with the pictures
- - `page` - page number of the converted image
+Common tasks for the configuration file can be a declaration of the new commands,
+loading of the default filters or specification of a default build sequence.
-## The `mode` variable
+One additional functionality not available in the build files are commands for
+enabling and disabling of extensions.
-There is global `mode` variable available in the build file. It contains
-contents of the `--mode` command line option. It can be used to run some commands
-conditionally. For example:
- if mode == "draft" then
- Make:htlatex{}
- else
- Make:htlatex{}
- Make:htlatex{}
- Make:htlatex{}
- end
+## Location
-In this example (which is the default configuration used by `make4ht`),
-LaTeX is called only once when `make4ht` is called with `draft` mode:
-
- make4ht -m draft filename
+The configuration file can be saved either in the
+`$HOME/.config/make4ht/config.lua` file, or in the `.make4ht` file placed in
+the current directory or it's parent directories (up to the `$HOME` directory).
-## The `settings` table
+## Additional commands
-You may want to access to the parameters also outside commands, file matches
-and image conversion functions. For example, if you want to convert your file to
-the `OpenDocument Format (ODT)`, you can use the following settings, based on the `oolatex`
-command:
+There are two additional commands:
- settings.tex4ht_sty_par = settings.tex4ht_sty_par ..",ooffice"
- settings.tex4ht_par = settings.tex4ht_par .. " ooffice/! -cmozhtf"
- settings.t4ht_par = settings.t4ht_par .. " -cooxtpipes -coo "

-There are some functions to ease access to the settings:
+: require extension
-`set_settings{parameters}`
+`Make:disable_extension(name)`
-: overwrite settings with values from a passed table

- -b,--backend (default tex4ht) Backend used for xml generation.
- possible values: tex4ht or lua4ht

- -d,--output-dir (default "") Output directory
- -e,--build-file (default nil) If build file name is different

- -l,--lua Use lualatex for document compilation
- -m,--mode (default default) Switch which can be used in the makefile
- -n,--no-tex4ht Disable dvi file processing with tex4ht command
- -s,--shell-escape Enables running external programs from LaTeX
- -u,--utf8 For output documents in utf8 encoding
- -v,--version Print version number

- <filename> (string) Input file name
+This example maps audio file `sample.mp3` to a section subpage. The main HTML
+file, which may contain title and table of contents doesn't have a
+corresponding audio file.
+
+Filenames of the subfiles correspond to the chapter numbers, so they are not
+stable when a new chapter is added. It is possible to request filenames
+derived from the chapter titles using the `sec-filename` option for `tex4ht.sty`.
+### Available `map` options
-You can still invoke `make4ht` in the same way as `htlatex`:
- make4ht filename "customcfg, charset=utf-8" "-cunihtf -utf8" "-dfoo"
+audio\_file
-Note that this will not use `make4ht` routines for output directory making and
-copying. If you want to use them, change the line above to:
+: the corresponding audio file
- make4ht -d foo filename "customcfg, charset=utf-8" "-cunihtf -utf8"
+sub\_file
-This call has the same effect as the following:
+: name of the generated subtitle file
+
+The following options are the same as their counterparts from the main parameters table and generally, don't need to be set:
+
+- prefix
+- file\_desc
+- file\_id
+- text\_type
+- id\_sort
+- id\_prefix
+- sub\_format

+
+The short options that don't take parameters can be collapsed:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+$ make4ht -ulc customcfg -d foo filename
+\end{verbatim}
+
+To pass output from the other commands to \texttt{make4ht} use the

+
+\begin{verbatim}
+$ cat hello.tex | make4ht -j world -
+\end{verbatim}
+
+By default, \texttt{make4ht} tries to be quiet, so it hides most of the

+\TeX4ht~system supports several output formats, most notably
+\texttt{XHTML}, \texttt{HTML\ 5} and \texttt{ODT}, but it also supports
+\texttt{TEI} or \texttt{Docbook}.
+
+The conversion can be invoked using several scripts, which are
+distributed with \TeX4ht. They differ in parameters passed to the
+underlying commands.
+
+These scripts invoke \LaTeX~or Plain \TeX~with special instructions to
+load the \texttt{tex4ht.sty} package. The \TeX~run produces a special
+\texttt{DVI} file that contains the code for the desired output format.
+The produced \texttt{DVI} file is then processed using the
+\texttt{tex4ht} command, which in conjunction with the \texttt{t4ht}
+command produces the desired output files.

+The basic conversion script provided by \TeX4ht~system is named
+\texttt{htlatex}. It compiles \LaTeX~ files to \texttt{HTML} with this
+command sequence:
+
+\begin{verbatim}

+$ latex $latex_options 'code for loading tex4ht.sty \input{filename}'
+$ latex $latex_options 'code for loading tex4ht.sty \input{filename}'
+$ tex4ht $tex4ht_options filename

The options for various parts of the system can be passed on the command
line:

+$ htlatex filename "tex4ht.sty options" "tex4ht_options" "t4ht_options" "latex_options"
\end{verbatim}
For basic \texttt{HTML} conversion it is possible to use the most basic
invocation:
\begin{verbatim}
-htlatex filename.tex
+$ htlatex filename.tex
\end{verbatim}

+$ htlatex filename.tex "xhtml,html5,charset=utf-8" " -cmozhtf -utf8"
\end{verbatim}
\texttt{make4ht} can simplify it:
\begin{verbatim}
-make4ht -uf html5 filename.tex
+$ make4ht -u filename.tex
\end{verbatim}
-Another issue is the fixed compilation order and hard-coded number of
-LaTeX invocations.
+The \texttt{-u} option requires the \texttt{UTF-8} encoding.
+\texttt{HTML\ 5} is used as the default output format by
+\texttt{make4ht}.
+
+More information about the command line arguments can be found in
+section \ref{sec:clioptions}.
+
+\hypertarget{compilation-sequence}{%
+\subsection{Compilation sequence}\label{compilation-sequence}}
+
+\texttt{htlatex} has a fixed compilation order and a hard-coded number
+of \LaTeX~invocations.
-When you need to run a program which interact with LaTeX, such as
-\texttt{Makeindex} or \texttt{Bibtex}, you need to create a new script
-based on \texttt{htlatex}, or run \texttt{htlatex} twice, which means
-that LaTeX will be invoked six times. This can lead to significantly
-long compilation times. \texttt{make4ht} provides build files and
-extensions, which can be used for interaction with external tools.
+It is not possible to execute additional commands during the
+compilation. When we want to run a program that interacts with \LaTeX,
+such as \texttt{Makeindex} or \texttt{Bibtex}, we have two options. The
+first option is to create a new script based on \texttt{htlatex} and add
+the wanted commands to the modified script. The second option is to
+execute \texttt{htlatex}, then the additional and then \texttt{htlatex}
+again. The second option means that \LaTeX~will be invoked six times, as
+each call to \texttt{htlatex} executes three calls to \LaTeX. This can
+lead to significantly long compilation times.
-It is also possible to have several compilation modes. When you just add
-new text to a document, which doesn't contain cross-references, don't
-add new stuff to the table of contents, etc., it is possible to use the
-\texttt{draft} mode which will invoke LaTeX only once. It can save quite
-a lot of the compilation time:
+\texttt{make4ht} provides a solution for this issue using a build file,
+or extensions. These can be used for interaction with external tools.
+
+\texttt{make4ht} also provides compilation modes, which enables to
+select commands that should be executed using a command line option.
+
+There is a built-in \texttt{draft} mode, which invokes \LaTeX~only once,

-\item[map]
-mapping between HTML, audio and subtitle files. More info bellow.
-\item[text\_type]
-type of the input. The \texttt{aeneas} DOM filter produces
-\texttt{unparsed} text type.
-\item[id\_sort]
-sorting of id attributes. Default value is \texttt{numeric}.

-It is possible to generate multiple HTML files from the LaTeX source.
-For example, \texttt{tex4ebook} generates separate file for each chapter
-or section. It is possible to set options for each HTML file, in
-particular names of the corresponding audio files. This mapping is done
-using \texttt{map} parameter.
-
-Example:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-filter_settings "aeneas-config" {
- map = {
- ["sampleli1.html"] = {audio_file="sample.mp3"},
- ["sample.html"] = false
- }
-}
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Table keys are the configured file names. It is necessary to insert them
-as \texttt{{[}"filename.html"{]}}, because of Lua syntax rules.
-
-This example maps audio file \texttt{sample.mp3} to a section subpage.
-The main HTML file, which may contain title and table of contents
-doesn't have a corresponding audio file.
-
-Filenames of the sub files corresponds to the chapter numbers, so they
-are not stable when a new chapter is added. It is possible to request
-file names interfered from the chapter titles using the
-\texttt{sec-filename} option or \texttt{tex4ht}.
-
-Available \texttt{map} options:
-
-\begin{description}
-\item[audio\_file]
-the corresponding audio file
-\item[sub\_file]
-name of the generated subtitle file

-\item
- file\_id
-\item
- text\_type
-\item
- id\_sort

-\item
- sub\_format
-\end{itemize}
-
