Bibliography items can now be edited directly when in Edit Mode. The modifications update the document HTML code directly, which means that there is no need to do a global HTML export after updating the bibliography.
Add backup management directly from the Inline Editor. From this you can select a backup and inspect the changes between the backup and the current version. This includes a diff view.
Add the possibility to start a new document from a sample. This can be accessed from the Help menu. Users can make a document usable as a sample from the document options page.
Implement the card widget.
Minipages are now ignored, as it is too difficult to implement them directly from LaTeX source. Authors should use the LaTeX2Web latexDiv object instead.
Add audio objects.
New list types. list is a simple, non recursive list that takes advantage of CSS list styling. checkList is ideal for to-do lists.
you can upload an unlimited number of documents even if you are have not subscribed. You are now limited to a total of one published document if you are have not subscribed, the others being drafts (unpublished).
you can make LaTeX2Web a Progressive Web Application from a Chromium based browser.
manage import of large LaTeX documents. To use it, select the Split import menu item in the Action menu.
manage HTML export of large documents. To use it, select the Split export to HTML menu item in the Action menu.
Composite documents are documents that import elements from another LaTeX2Web document.
the identities of the foreign documents are saved and updated to the database.
a new separate model has been created, which reflects the state of the document after the import of the remote document elements. It is called the composite model.
when in edit mode (aka Inline Editor), upon saving, LaTeX2Web is smart enough to know if the modified element should be saved to the original model (before import). It always saves the element to the composite model.
There are to otions now for HTML export in edit mode.
Export root model to HTML produces the HTML code from the latest version of the foreign elements. The previous modifications that had been done to the foreign elements are lost. A new composite model is generated.
Export composite model to HTML takes into account the modifications that you may have brought to the composite elements, but do not update the foreign elements from their remote document.
The latexDiv environment creates an HTML div, to whom you attribute classes and CSS attributes.
The columns environment lets you create columns of equal width with a responsive behavior. Typically, the number of columns is reduced to 2 on tablet (the following columns are wrapped), and the colomns are stacked on top of each other on mobile.
basic support for loops in algorithm2e
CRUD for the Inline Editor: you can Create, Read, Update and Delete objects
upon creating an object, a generic template is created that you can edit
re-order the object hierarchy in the LaTeX2Web Document Model to reflect the reality better
after inline edit, the corresponding HTML code is updated, in place of the HTML for the whole document
Discussions are back!
improve consistency of the action menu
add action to display the support status of the packages used by a document
add table of contents in digest view
improve scrolling in a document by typesetting equations in the target before scrolling
add a link button to all objects that have a lightbox. Opening the link opens the document and scrolls to the object in question
add a document option to ignore color commands when these commands spread over several LaTeX2Web objects
basic support for \if \else and \fi commands
when saving code in the inline editor, the HTML code is updated in addition to the corresponding object. This makes editing large documents a breeze
labels are not deleted when executing LaTeX macros
increase size of the search field in the code editor
improve algorithm parsing
disable style preprocessing when the content is within a LaTeX command. This makes command parsing more robust.
improve the algorithm to find the place where to display a reference in the web page, when the user has clicked on a link. This ensures that the content is displayed as close as possible to the click point, once the link has been clicked.
enable lightbox expansion for theorems, figures, tables and csv tables
typeset all equations at document load, when the size of math content is less than 60 KB. For bigger math, the equations are rendered only when they are within a prescribed range with respect to the current page view. The range varies with the device used. For very large documents, this means that you do not have to wait for all the equations to be rendered before reading the document.
add zoom in and zoom out buttons for text size
Add slide counter in sliders
Improve user experience when downloading tikz source files
\unicode is supported outside of math
improve DeclareMathOperator support
new scheme for uploading projects with duplicate file names somewhere in the folder hierarchy
add hover effects to lists in the user interface
hitting enter in the search field in the home page, the document dashboard, starts the search for a document title
hitting enter in the search field in the inline edit page, starts a fuzzy search in the document model
use alt parameter as a caption when a caption is not explicitely provided in image and imageLink
After looking for content inside the document model, you can select a target object and edit it in an inline editor
Search inside model is now reserved to the edit mode, as it does not make sense out of this context
Improved support for \includegraphics inside ordinary text flow, including table cells
Support for the \underline command
Add responsive behavior for the content of \marginpar: on mobile, the content is now part on the document flow, and not a float element inserted inside text, since there is no room for that on small devices
Add two chatbots, one for authoring, and one for browsing content
Improve the Help menu
Make \sffamily a synonym for \sf.
When an image is not found, the HTML export should display a nice 404 image
Add this page to the help menu
