Bug#536380: HTML mode is spewing some XML



Control: tags -1 + wontfix

Hi Anthony,

Command used:
	mk4ht htlatex manual-web.tex "html,uni-html4,frames,css2,charset=utf-8,info" " -cunihtf -utf8"

Despite not having any XHTML or XML options enabled, it is outputting
various bits of XML:

	<br />
	<hr class="endfloat" />
	<br class="newline" />

This is the answer I got from upstream:

<quote>Hi Hilmar - well, I agree it is a bug, since html4 is being requested. Unfortunately <br /> and <hr /> are ubiquitious in tex4ht-html4.tex; I guess Eitan didn't know about the problem.

It does not seem straightforward at all to factor them all out so they are conditional on html4. And I believe all that code is used for other html variants, so just removing the slashes would mean xhtml output etc. would no longer validate, so that's not viable.

Since html5 is pretty widespread by now, it's hard for me and Michal to work up a lot of enthusiasm for tinkering with the html4 output. I know that's sad, but there it is. Of course reasonable patches would be welcome (good luck :).</quote>

I tag the bug was won't fix for now, feel free to close.

H.
