installing from source is likely to be a tremendous source of problems and delays, as you have discovered. since we have never done that and the infrastructure simply isn't there.

what i would suggest is to find the right source file (tex4ht-4ht.tex?) and post (or send me) the change to that file; then I can regenerate the derived files and install the fix. (You can also try regenerating it by hand and maybe that will work.)

Thanks for all your efforts.

Hello,
After some investigation, I think that I have some idea about what is happening : it seems that we have some \edef that should be replaced by \protected@edef to make it work better.

Now, I would like to try that, but the thing is that I have been doing the tests with tex4ht bundled with MikTeX. I am trying to install tex4ht from the source. So I have

1) renamed all the tex4ht executable in MikTeX with a miktex- prefix, e.g. htlatex.exe becomes miktex-htlatex, so that tex4ht work area equivalent are not mixed up with these ones.

2) I have tried to make the build under msys, but it does not work, probably because the tex4ht.exe coming from the repo is not an MSYS application (to be confirmed)

3) I am now trying to make the build under MSDOS (ouch...) with mingw32-make, but there are other issues, I will post another bug to follow up this.

Hi Vincent - well, I'm not likely to have time to investigate this any time soon, and I know CVR is occupied with other work as well. If you or anyone else can come up with a patch, that would be great. Otherwise, whatever happens will happen in due time ...

thanks for the report,
karl

Hello,

Karl: you are everywhere !

You can find on this thread some info on the problem:

http://fr.comp.text.tex.narkive.com/h4fPNKoA/conflit-fmtcount-et-tex4ht

Besically the problem is that

htlatex temp.tex

(where temp.tex is attached) does not compile with htlatex, while it has no problem with latex.

Please note that I am using htlatex from MikTeX 2.9 distribution.

It is also funny if you replace the \renewcommand statement by

\protected\def\thesection{\ordinal{section}}

or

\protected\def\thesection{{\ordinal{section}}}

Anyway, thank you for your help.

Vincent.

PS: The initial intent is to make some non regression script for fmtcount
