Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

2016-03-14 22:21:23 UTC

The url.sty from texlive-latex-2015 causes spurious underscores to be inserted in HTML output created with dev-tex/tex4ht-20090611_p1038-r3. See URL, last line above the "Reporting Issues" header (the path component there appears as "by-_sa" but should be "by-sa").

If I replace url.sty ver 3.4 with the one from TeX Live 2013 (url.sty ver 3.3) then the problem disappears.

urltest.tex

This is a minimal example that reproduces the bug.
Produce HTML output with:

$ mk4ht xhlatex urltest

Patch for url.sty

Attached patch fixes the problem for me. It reverts a change that was done between url.sty versions 3.3 and 3.4.

pdflatex output is fine, so i suspect a bug in tex4ht
however, see: http://tug.org/tex4ht/
