make4ht complains about "module 'luaxml-domobject' not found"

TeX - LaTeX Asked on December 11, 2020

I have installed make4ht using the command tlmgr install make4ht.

Now when I enter the command make4ht foo.tex, I get this error:

[STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: foo.tex
...texmf-dist/scripts/make4ht/filters/make4ht-domfilter.lua:2: module 'luaxml-domobject' not found:
        no field package.preload['luaxml-domobject']
        [kpse lua searcher] file not found: 'luaxml-domobject'
        [kpse C searcher] file not found: 'luaxml-domobject'

What else do I need to install before I can use make4ht successfully?

htmlmake4ht

Let me answer how I resolved this issue. The comment by @michal.h21 helped.

Note that points 2 to 6 show false starts or attempts that did not lead to good looking results. Only the last point led to nice results.

  1. Create a file foo.tex which I will use to test that make4ht works successfully:

    documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
title{Demo}
begin{document}

begin{align}
1 + 0 & = 1, label{eq1} 
1 + 1 & = 2, label{eq2} 
e^{i pi} = -1. label{eq3}
end{align}

Equation ( eqref{eq1} ), ( eqref{eq2} ) and ( eqref{eq3} )
describe eternal truths.

The equation ( e^{i pi} = -1 ) can also be rewritten as ( e^{i pi}
+ 1 = 0 ) which is known as Euler's identity.
end{document}

  2. Install make4ht and compile foo.tex to foo.html as follows:

    sudo tlmgr install make4ht
make4ht foo

    This led to the following error:

    [STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: foo
...texmf-dist/scripts/make4ht/filters/make4ht-domfilter.lua:2: module 'luaxml-domobject' not found:
        no field package.preload['luaxml-domobject']
        [kpse lua searcher] file not found: 'luaxml-domobject'
        [kpse C searcher] file not found: 'luaxml-domobject'

  3. Install make4ht and luaxml and try again:

    sudo tlmgr install make4ht luaxml
make4ht foo

    This led to the following error:

    [STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: foo
[ERROR]   htlatex: Compilation errors in the htlatex run
[ERROR]   htlatex: Filename     Line    Message

[ERROR]   htlatex: ?    2        Emergency stop.
[FATAL]   make4ht-lib: Fatal error. Command htlatex returned exit code 1

  4. Install make4ht, luaxml, and tex4ht, and try again:

    sudo tlmgr install make4ht luaxml tex4ht
make4ht foo

    The conversion succeeded this time:

    [STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: foo
sh: dvipng: command not found
sh: dvipng: command not found
sh: dvipng: command not found
sh: dvipng: command not found
sh: dvipng: command not found
[STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion finished

    Here is how the output foo.html looked:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

</body> 
</html>

    The math rendered using HTML and images does not look great.

  5. Render math using MathJax:

    make4ht foo mathjax

    The conversion fails:

    [STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: foo
[ERROR]   htlatex: Compilation errors in the htlatex run
[ERROR]   htlatex: Filename     Line    Message

[ERROR]   htlatex: ?    22       Emergency stop.
[FATAL]   make4ht-lib: Fatal error. Command htlatex returned exit code 1

  6. Install make4ht, luaxml, tex4ht, and environ and try again:

    sudo tlmgr install make4ht luaxml tex4ht environ
make4ht foo mathjax

    It fails again:

    [STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: foo
[ERROR]   htlatex: Compilation errors in the htlatex run
[ERROR]   htlatex: Filename     Line    Message

[ERROR]   htlatex: ?    17       Emergency stop.
[FATAL]   make4ht-lib: Fatal error. Command htlatex returned exit code 1

  7. Install make4ht, luaxml, tex4ht, environ, and trimspaces and try again:

    sudo tlmgr install make4ht luaxml tex4ht environ trimspaces
make4ht foo mathjax

    The conversion is successful:

    [STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS]  make4ht: Input file: foo
[STATUS]  make4ht: Conversion finished

    Here is the output foo.html:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

    Here is an example JSFiddle that shows the output: https://jsfiddle.net/9xubrm47/.
