This is not a LaTeX2HTML question, but I'm hoping I might be able to
tap the expertise of LaTeX2HTML users or maintainers in respect of a
missing macro in html.sty
It appears that LaTeX2HTML's html.sty gets borrowed by harvard.sty in
LaTeX, and that when loaded with pdflatex, it then gags on the
BIBTeX-generated \harvardurl macro in the .bbl file (regardless of the
.bst: kluwer, dcu, agsm, etc) because it's looking for a starred
version of
\htmladdnormallink* which does not exist in the distributed html.sty
Does anyone out there know what \htmladdnormallink* might be expected
to do?
As far as I see, in html.sty:
\def\htmladdnormallink#1#2{\href{#2}{#1}}
in harvard.sty:
\IfFileExists{html.sty}{\RequirePackage{html}
\newcommand{\harvardurl}[1]{\htmladdnormallink*{\textbf{URL:}
\textit{##1}}{##1}}
}{
\newcommand{\harvardurl}[1]{\textbf{URL:} \textit{##1}}
}
Two args in html.sty, only one in harvard.sty, seems that the starred
version does not make a difference between anchor and link, and adds the
string URL: before the link.
I managed to dig down that far, but I was wondering more what the
author's intentions were (ie what the starred version is supposed to do
different...)
It also (wrongly, IMHO) includes the "URL:" prefix in the link; but
perhaps that is just a Harvard requirement.
So
\def\htmladdnormallink*#1{\href{#1}}
could maybe do the trick.
Another way would be to fall back to the command not using html.sty with:
\def\htmladdnormallink*#1{}
I also don't like the way that Harvard switches to hyperref when it is
run using pdflatex. This kind of gratuitous automation is almost always
wrong.
In my installation (texlive-full), html.sty is in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/html, but I don't know if this is installed
for most other users, on MikTeX, MacTeX, etc.
This said, I remember having cursed a lot of time this harvard.sty
package, which seems buggy and unmaintained for years, I went to natbib
(very flexible package) with relief. natbib is easy to manage with LyX,
which is my preferred interface to LaTeX.
I have never used natbib. The application I am working on is a thesis
class for my university, where Harvard is a requirement for many
disciplines. Is there a prewritten natbib setup that will emulate
Harvard -- surely someone has done one...
