6.0.12 on MSWin - Import Issues
===============================
(Many of these were developed while
working with 6.0.11; but I re-checked
them where necessary for 6.0.12).
*** Import crash ***
If you try to import the SWP55
document amslatextest.tex, you find:
!!! FILTER CRASHED !!! -- will attempt output
The result of the "attempt" was:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
-
XML Parsing Error: unclosed token Location: file:///C:/Users/pviton/Documents/SWPDocs/amslatextest_work/main.xhtml Line Number 2698, Column 286:

--- ie nothing usable.
*** Import problem 1 ****
If you try to import checkout.tex
from SWP55 it looks to me as if the
Theorem statement is not imported
correctly (though the Proof is).
Minor: As compared to SWP55,
the absolute value symbols in
in the imported document
seem a bit scrawny --- they don't
expand as they did in SWP55.
Minor: there appears to be
extra space introduced
before |z| in the first display
and following "length of" in
the last one.
*** import problem 2 ***
In SWP55's stewartcalculus.tex
the numbered list in the Exercises
for section 9.1 are numbered twice.
I think this may be because the
filter doesn't recognize an explicit
\item (eg \item[a] ) in this type of list.
One interesting thing about the
import is that the equations are
unnumbered. This would be my preferred
status for equations that I enter
myself; but it is, regrettably,
apparently not possible to set up
as a default.
*** Import problem 3 (tables) ***
SWP5 floating tables that use
the "table (4x3 floating)" fragment
do not seem to import correctly.
In particular, the column separators
( & ) are imported verbatim, and
do not separate columns. The same
table as a non-float is imported
correctly.
Less important: the B and E fragments
(\begin{table} and \end{table})
are imported as TeX fields, but
it ought to be possible, surely,
to convert them to their SWP6
equivalents?
*** import problem 4 ***
(dash import: minor)
(Previously reported): Importing
em- and en-dashes isn't
correct on screen: you have multiple
hyphens, rather than just one symbol.
However, the PDF appears correct,
so it's just an appearance issue.
