[tex4ht] [bug #228] tex4ht does not accept \setcounter{tocdepth} in report class

[Michal Hoftich]

Nasser,

sorry for late reply, I had a busy weekend. You don't have to apply
patches I send here yourself, Karl applies them to the tex4ht sources
and corrected files are then uploaded to TeX Live, so you should need
only to update TL with Tlmgr.

But, if you really want to apply them yourself, you need to obtain
tex4ht literate sources. To do this, you need to install subversion
and run this command:

     svn checkout http://svn.gnu.org.ua/sources/tex4ht

literate sources are placed in

     tex4ht/src/tex4ht/trunk/lit

these files are in special literate programming format, called ProTex
[1]. Output `.4ht` files and documentation are produced with running
`htlatex` or `httex` on these files. If you are not interested in
documentation, you can just run `latex` or `tex` on these files. There
is also makefile, so you can use `make` command, but it took about an
hour on my computer to compile all literate  sources. I've placed
generated documentation online [2]

File `tex4ht-4ht.tex` is really important one, because this is the
place where LaTeX packages are redefined to insert tex4ht hooks, which
are then seeded in other files. So dozens of .4ht files are generated
after compilation of this file.

Best regards,
Michal
