On Wed, 30 May 2012, Uwe Lück submitted an update to the

  morehype

package.


License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR CHANGES:

- The "pure expansion" limitation for the `blog.sty' way to 
  HTML is overcome by "intercepting" certain "commands" such 
  as \EXECUTE, \begin, and \end (configurable). So you can 
  introduce shorthand macros specific for a certain web page 
  within its source `.tex' file, or even limited to an
  environment. And environment nesting is checked! And we 
  introduce certain nice active characters for an intuitive 
  table syntax. 

- We also use "intercepting" to support "ligatures" (`--', 
  `---', `...', ...) and some Wikipedia and Markdown markup 
  (font switching, highlighting by colours, Wikipedia links).
  Parsing can be enabled within macro arguments by 
  modifying the two backbone macros that implement "short" 
  HTML elements.

  This way, `blog.sty' becomes "fun" (but also slow ...) 
  ...

- A kind of minimalist "multilanguage" approach based on 
  "languages codes" and the `dowith' package for adjusting 
  language-dependent settings is used. 

Unfortunately, this upload is somewhat hasty, in order to 
provide the files generating `latexfileinfo_pkgs.htm' 
(`latexfileinfo-pkgs'). Some of the powerful code must 
later move from the "patch" file `texblog.fdf' into proper 
packages and be documented better.

MINOR CHANGES:

- `atari_ht.fdf'  replaces `atari.fdf' to use HTML entities 
  for umlauts instead of relying on the encoding declaration 

- `blog.sty' accesses some more characters than before

- `texlinks.sty'  uses \langcode for Wiki... 
  + minor additions
