I noticed that tex4ht do not generate correct code for typesetting Matlab code listing. It does not like .^ in the Matlab code, and it generates funny looking character in its place.

MWE

\documentclass[12pt]{article}%
\usepackage{amsmath,mathtools}
\usepackage[framed,autolinebreaks]{mcode}%
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}
a.^2;
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

Compiled used

make4ht --lua -u foo.tex "htm"

This is the HTML generated

 id="x1-2r1"></a></span><span 
class="pcrr8r-">a.</span><span 
class="pcrr8r-">Ȉ2;</span>   
</div> 
</body></html>

I can't used \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} which would have fixed this, since when I used \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} before in other places with tex4ht, it caused many other problems, so I stopped using it. I do not now remember now what the problems were, but were related to some problem with how the HTML looked. When I stopped \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} then, it fixed the HTML. But now I find I need it with mcode.

question is: Is it possible to resolve the above, without using \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}? or must one use \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}?

I use --lua and -u options always with make4ht. 

-l,--lua  Use lualatex for document compilation
-u,--utf8  For output documents in utf8 encoding

Using TL 2015.

The fontenc package shouldn't cause problems with tex4ht, although it is best to use it together with inputenc (or luainputenc in the case of LuaLaTeX). It would be nice if you could find any example where it fails and report it.

This code compiles fine:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}%
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,mathtools}
\usepackage[framed,autolinebreaks]{mcode}%
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}
a.^2;
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}

I had to download mcode package, because it isn't included in TeX Live. It seems that it is just configuration for listings package. What is strange is that if I use only original listings with Matlab language, the file is compiles correctly even without fontenc. You can also use other project which provides Matlab configuration for listings, matlab-prettifier:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}%
\usepackage{amsmath,mathtools}
\usepackage{matlab-prettifier}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Matlab,style=Matlab-editor]
a.^2;
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

the result:

  • You have asked "It would be nice if you could find any example where it fails and report it.". I have just found an example. I used your code above, after This code compiles fine: exactly as is, but changed the matlab code line. I found big problem with the generated code in HTML. Do you want me to post this as separate question in this case or send it to tex4ht mailing list? The problem shows up when using --lua option again with make4ht. Using same code you have above. Thanks. – Nasser Feb 26 '16 at 16:28
  • @Nasser new question is fine, I think – michal.h21 Feb 26 '16 at 17:01
