Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request assistance with maintaining the tex4ht and tex4ht-common packages (which are generated out of the same source package).
The package description is: TeX4ht is a highly configurable TeX-based authoring system for producing hypertext. It interacts with TeX-based applications through style files and postprocessors, leaving the processing of the source files to the native TeX compiler. Consequently, TeX4ht can handle the features of TeX-based systems in general, and of LaTeX in particular. . TeX4ht can be used both for authoring HTML using TeX/LaTeX input files, or for converting existing TeX input files (in any format) into HTML, with (usually) only minor modifications. Other varieties of hypertext can also be produced, including XML, XHTML, MathML and the Openoffice.org format of XML. . There are a number of different ways to convert glyphs and graphics in the DVI files into PNG, GIF or JPEG. The default is to use dvipng. Alternatives using ghostscript, imagemagick, netpbm and/or pstoedit are also possible. . Homepage: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/ Expertise required from co-maintainer: Familiarity with TeX4ht :) Familiarity with Java. Familiarity with openoffice use in conjunction with TeX4ht. Explanation of assistance required: I am currently comfortable with the TeX aspects of the package as well as most aspects of image conversion. However, I have no familiarity with Java. A number of Java based features in connection with speech output are being added upstream. Another problem is that I primarily use the package for conversion to HTML, XHTML, XML whereas a number of users for the openoffice output have emerged and I am unable to understand/deal with the bugs that they report. Manner of co-operation: I would be comfortable with co-maintaining with e-mail for discussions. At a pinch I could learn to use one of the SCM-based tools as well. Regards, Kapil. --
