[tex4ht] tex4ht options, figure placement and exerquiz

[Michal Hoftich]

Hi Tomáš,

>1. I wanted to experiment with various tex4ht options. I only found 
>those listed in http://cvr.cc/?p=504. This list seems pretty old, can

The updated version is here: 
https://www.kodymirus.cz/tex4ht-doc/texfourhtOptions.html

It contains some new options, but I think the descriptions for the old 
ones are mostly the same. 

Regarding spliting into indivitual pages, you should try "2" or "3" 
options instead. Option 1 splits pages only on \part commands, "2" on 
\chapter, "3" on \section etc.

You can try this configuration file:

\Preamble{xhtml}
\Css{figure.figure img { display: inline; }}
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble

The important is the \Css command.

I can see that there is support TeX4ht file for exerquiz package, but it 
is pretty old and contains some obsolete HTML elements and JS. So it 
will definitelly need an update. I must figure how to install exerquiz, 
because it isn't included in TeX Live.

Can you please send a full TeX file that use exerquiz that I can use for 
testing?

Best regards,
Michal
