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

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
