Centering text flanked by 2 images using tex4ht

Question

I am trying to create an HTML page using tex4ht using the following code:

\rput[r](-2pt,6pt){\psvectorian[color=black,width=2cm]{41}}
\hfill{}
{\Large \url{Title Text}}
\hfill{}
\rput[l](0,6pt){\psvectorian[color=black,width=2cm]{42}}
\section{New Section}
This is a section. This is a section. 

What I get is this:

Is there a better way to center the text and push the images to left/right?

Edit #1:

I also want to mention that this problem is only for tex4ht/HTML. For latex + dvipdf, I get:

Edit #2:

I just wanted to post the output from the wonderful answer provided by michal.h21. tex4ht is no doubt powerful, but I find the documentation very hard to understand. Hope this is of help to others:

Answer 1

tex4ht doesn't know, how to translate your \hfill commands to css, you must create css definitions yourself.

First of all I would create command for title and separate it to package. For example decosection.sty:

\ProvidesPackage{decosection}
\RequirePackage{psvectorian}
\newcommand\decosection[1]{%
        \dc@leftorn
        \hfill
        {\Large #1}
        \hfill
        \dc@rightorn
}

\newcommand\dc@rightorn{%
        \rput[r](-2pt,6pt){\psvectorian[color=black,width=2cm]{41}}
}

\newcommand\dc@leftorn{%
        \rput[l](0,6pt){\psvectorian[color=black,width=2cm]{42}}
}

Now you can use in the document something like

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{decosection}
\begin{document}
        \decosection{Title Text}

        ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble
        ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble 
        ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble
        ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble
        ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble ble bla ble
\end{document}

Because command \decosection is in separate package, you can now provide file named like this package only with extension .4ht, decosection.4ht in this case.

\NewConfigure{decosection}{4}

\renewcommand\decosection[1]{%
\a:decosection%
\dc@leftorn%
\b:decosection%
#1%
\c:decosection%
\dc@rightorn%
\d:decosection%
}
\Configure{decosection}{%
\ifvmode\IgnorePar\fi\EndP%
\HCode{<div class="decosection"><div class="left-ornament">\Hnewline}
}{\HCode{</div>\Hnewline<div class="decosection-title">}}%
{\HCode{</div>\Hnewline<div class="right-ornament">}}%
{\HCode{</div></div>\Hnewline}}%
\Css{%
        .decosection{
                width:100\%;
                clear:both;
                overflow:auto;
        }
        .left-ornament, .decosection-title, .right-ornament{
                float:left;
        }
        .left-ornament{
                width:25\%;
        }
        .decosection-title{
                text-align:center;
                width:50\%;
                font-size:200\%;
        }
        .right-ornament{
                width:25\%;
                text-align:right;
        }
}

this file is called automatically when tex4ht loads decosection.sty. We need to create so called hooks which are configurable places, where we later put html tags. With command \NewConfigure we created four hooks, because we need to put them at the beginning, at the end and between the elements. These hooks are named \a:docusection ... \d:docusection

then we need to redefine the command and put the hooks to their places. As you see there is no need for commands that change appereance, like \hfill or \large. Visual output is job for tags from hooks and css.

with \Configure, we put in some tags, in this case only <div> with various class attributes, which are used by css for styling the appearance.

finally, \Css command is used for putting css definitions.
