2 Other former problems

2.1 Headings containing `-' (dash)

  Recently I encountered the problem that a `-' (dash) in a heading confuses l2h. Is that fixed in 97.1?

Yes, as this heading shows -- Ross.

2.2 Different character sets

  Although we have already invented 64-bit microprocessors, there seems to be no chance for at least an eight-bit font in simple texts. Is it possible to specify a field containing different characters considered to be equal? The main problem is obviously (extracted from different threads in the mailing list) that the .toc and .aux files generated by L^ATEX contain different information than the .tex file. One contains an `Ä', while this letter has been converted to `\"A'² in the next.

Hmm; this may be fixed automatically now. I'm not sure, yet. The idea of a user-definable list of aliases is a good one. -- Ross.

2.3 Numbering of captions

  The mail I sent some months ago has unfortunately been deleted in my archive. The problem I encountered has to do with the combinations of (German) accents and inline math. I will try to remember the test I once performed:

These all work properly now -- Ross.

...`\"A'²

Why does this disappear in L^ATEX2HTML?
Fixed! -- Ross.
