Thanks for the confirmation... the old way is the easiest, as usual.
Since LaTeX is a basic standard, it seems the most sensible way to store
or backup writing rather then getting caught with obsolete formats.
Most publishers seem to want Word format, however. Easy and quick to
read for editors on any laptop, lowest common denominator, etc.
(Publishers are really pushed hard for time. They will skim read
quickly, so to get in the door you need markers, for eg my cv and
degrees do this.)
Ubuntu's tex4ht is broken for odt and xhtml. These should handle em
spaces in the middle of a line as well as most humanities style stuff, I
trust. And be compatible with MS Word. (Have not tried a sgml
conversion...mmm, but
The problem seems to be in the font directories... oh dear, one of
Ubuntu's more difficult tasks is cleaning up the fonts. I have found an
update of tex4ht.
Java is needed for tex4ht and that works.
