Thu Feb 6 16:13:20 2025, comment #12: Exccellent. Then this can be closed.	Jürgen Spitzmüller <jspitzm>
Thu Feb 6 16:12:30 2025, comment #11: Once the fix is in TeX distributions, you don't need to use the config file. It usually takes just a few days with TeX Live.	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Thu Feb 6 16:08:03 2025, comment #10: Does this mean that one needs to explictly call this cfg file? I think the empty paragraphs shouldn't be there in the first place.	Jürgen Spitzmüller <jspitzm>
Thu Feb 6 16:05:20 2025, comment #9: Great! I've added it to TeX4ht sources, so I guess we can close this now.	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Thu Feb 6 16:04:06 2025, comment #8: Yes, this works.	Jürgen Spitzmüller <jspitzm>
Thu Feb 6 14:33:40 2025, comment #7: Well, this is significant difference. KOMA redefines \@startsection, so it needs a special configuration too. Here is the updated .cfg file: \Preamble{xhtml} \makeatletter \catcode`\:=11 \def\@startsection#1{\ifvmode\HCode{}\IgnorePar\fi\@ifstar{\Configure{secType}{like#1}}% {\Configure{secType}{#1}}% \:Sc1\:startsection{#1}}% \newcommand*\scr:startsection[6]{\ifvmode\HCode{}\IgnorePar\fi\o:scr@startsection:{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}} \HLet\scr@startsection\scr:startsection \catcode`\:=12 \makeatother \begin{document} \EndPreamble	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Thu Feb 6 06:56:05 2025, comment #6: The crucial difference is that it uses KOMA (scrartcl), which has a specific section handling.	Jürgen Spitzmüller <jspitzm>
Wed Feb 5 12:58:22 2025, comment #5: Does it fail with an error, or just extra paragraphs are added? Can you try to make a new MWE?	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Wed Feb 5 12:06:10 2025, comment #4: It does in fact work with the simple sample file I posted here. It does not work with the much more complex real world example I currently edit. No idea why that might be.	Jürgen Spitzmüller <jspitzm>
Wed Feb 5 11:52:31 2025, comment #3: I think you are doing it right. So you still get the extra paragraphs?	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Wed Feb 5 11:46:30 2025, comment #2: The solution does not seem to work for me, but I might have done it wrong (saved the content to a file rempar.cfg and used that via make4ht -c rempar.cfg [and the other options]).	Jürgen Spitzmüller <jspitzm>
Wed Feb 5 09:44:04 2025, comment #1: Thanks for the report. Some code at the beginning of paragraphs seems to be inserting spurious paragraphs. I cannot identify where, I am not even sure whether LaTeX or TeX4ht inserts it. Anyway, this configuration file should remove this extra paragraph: \Preamble{xhtml} \makeatletter \catcode`\:=11 \def\@startsection#1{\ifvmode\HCode{}\IgnorePar\fi\@ifstar{\Configure{secType}{like#1}}% {\Configure{secType}{#1}}% \:Sc1\:startsection{#1}}% \catcode`\:=12 \makeatother \begin{document} \EndPreamble	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Wed Feb 5 07:36:10 2025, original submission: Each \section but the first one in the document seems to create an empty paragraph before the section itself. See attached sample. I think this shouldn't be there.	Jürgen Spitzmüller <jspitzm>
