Hello TAG:
I know there are some 'hevea' users here. Could you help ? I am trying to convert this TeX article of mine into HTML and I run into:
Giving up command: \text
Giving up command: \@hevea@circ
./octave-p2.tex:227: Error while reading LaTeX:
End of file in \mbox argument
Adios
The relevant lines in my LaTex file are:
226 \begin{align*}
227 Minimize f(x) = c^\text{T}x \\
228 s.t. Ax = b, x \geq 0 \\
229 where b \geq 0
230 \end{align*}
What could be the problem ? I am using version 1.10 from Ubuntu repository.
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards, Amit

Hi,
I'm not familiar with hevea....

but it complains about end of file while it reads an mbox statement. My guess: hevea's parser is too simple to recognise the \text{T} correctly and interprets the closing } as end of mbox and the end later as end of file or such. Hm... on a closer look it explicitly mentions \text as the problem.
Try removing the \text{T} and rerun. If this IS the problem you might try \mathrm{T} -- maybe that command is known. If it falls for any \xxx{ } -- a cursive T might not be THAT bad.
Good to sea LaTeX is still in use[1]

I had emailed Hevea's author and this is what he had to say:
" Hevea is more strict than LaTeX as regards lexing conventions for arguments to superscripts. The easiest way out is to be more explicit, using {...}:

^^^^^^^^^^^^
c^{\text{T}}x
That solved the problem.

Oh yes, I am bigtime into it
