Alright, it is working now, many thanks. The output HTML looks pretty solid and well linked. Two questions: 1. What is the purpose of the /dev/null bit in the second compile command? 2. Could you share an HTML template? It would greatly facilitate the design work. Next I will give it a try with a more elaborate document including cross-references, citations, etc. Will report back on that. Regards.
