It just means that it works as expected :) I wouldn't come with this
solution without Martin's and Reinhard's ideas.

I am considering writing TUGboat paper about tex4ht for several years.
Make4ht would be another topic. The problem is that I am really bad at
writing longer texts, especially in English. I even plan to make a
blog, I bought a domain, created blogging support in make4ht and
created code for the blog in Lua. I have lot of ideas to write about,
the only issue is that I cannot write :( The same issue is with the
official tex4ht documentation, I was just able to crate an outline and
few paragraphs.

The official code is already included in make4ht as dvisvgm_hashes
extension. I just need to make a documentation for it (which may be
problem, see above :) And I will release it to CTAN. It will work
without need of support in a build file.
