Allow me to clarify what I am askig with a small example. I
have a simple latex file, ~/tex/test/cgi-sec.tex. I run latex2html on
it, I get
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
__> ls -R ~/tex/test
total 9
1 ./ 1 ../ 1 cgi-sec/ 6 cgi-sec.tex
/home/srivasta/tex/test/cgi-sec:
total 93
1 ./ 12 .ORIG_MAP.dir* 1 labels.pl
1 ../ 12 .ORIG_MAP.pag* 3 node1.html
12 .ID_MAP.dir* 1 cgi-sec.css 5 node2.html
12 .ID_MAP.pag* 2 cgi-sec.html 2 node3.html
12 .IMG_PARAMS.dir* 2 index.html 2 node4.html
12 .IMG_PARAMS.pag* 1 internals.pl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgi-sec/index.html contains the following in the body:
<A NAME="tex2html1" HREF="node1.html">
<IMG WIDTH=37 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="next"
SRC="/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/next_motif.gif"></A>
You see the SRC="xxx" above? looking at this file using lynx,
that works out to be file://usr/lib/latex2html/icons/next_motif.gif,
which is fine.
If I now move the whole cgi-sec directory to ~/public_html,
and my local apache server is configured to see that as
http://tiamat.datasync.com/%7Esrivasta/cgi-sec/index.html
and the reference now looks like:
http://tiamat.datasync.com/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/next_motif.gif
I can make this happen if I create a symlink in the directory:
/var/www/usr/lib/latex2html/icons/
Do you think this is allowed?
If not, how do I make latex2html create the SRC="xxx" segments
such that the links exist both while looking at the file locally
using lynx ~/public_html/cgi-sec/index.html and also using the
http://tiamat.datasync.com/%7Esrivasta/cgi-sec/index.html ? I can see
no way of making a link under /var/www that would create valid links
in both cases.
I know this is wierd, but some would say converting LaTeX to
HTML is wierd too.
