Newlines in the input document undergo a special treatement. A newline triggers a special scanning mode that reads all following spaces and newlines. In case at least one additional newline character is read, then H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A executes the <code>\par</code> command. Otherwise, H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A outputs a single newline character. This process approximates T<sub>E</sub>X process for introducting paragraph breaks and, as a result, empty lines produce paragraph breaks.</p><p>Space after commands with no argument is skipped (as in L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X) — however this is not true in math mode, as explained in section <a href="#spacemath">3.2.1</a>.</p><p>The following two subsections describe management of paragraphs and spaces after command sequences in greater detail. They can be skipped in first reading.</p> <h4 class="subsubsection" id="spurious:par">3.1.1  Spurious Paragraphs</h4> <p> Paragraphs are rendered by the means of <code>p</code> elements. H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A is a bit simplistic in breaking paragraphs and spurious paragraphs may be present in the final html document. Normally, as H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A never outputs <code>p</code> elements whose contents is made of spaces only, this should not happen very often. Unfortunately, some commands do not produce any output in L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X, while they do produce output in H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A: those commands are <code>\label</code>, <code>\index</code> etc. H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A translates <code>\label{</code><span class="c018">name</span><code>}</code> into the anchor <code><a id="</code><span class="c018">name</span><code>"></a></code>. As a result, the following source fragment will introduce a spurious paragraph. </p><pre class="verbatim">This a first paragraph. \label{label} This is another paragraph. </pre><p>Indeed, whe have the following translation: </p><pre class="verbatim"><p>This a first paragraph.</p> <p><a id="label"></a></p> <p>This is another paragraph.</p> </pre><p>Which your browser renders as follows — with additional borders emphasizing <code>p</code> elements. </p><blockquote class="quote"> <p class="c005">This a first paragraph.</p> <p class="c005"><a id="label"></a></p> <p class="c005">This is another paragraph.</p> </blockquote><p>Most of the time, such extra paragraphs remain unnoticed. Of course, they can be supressed by erasing one of the empty lines. For instance: </p><pre class="verbatim">This a first paragraph. \label{label} This is another paragraph. </pre><p>A similar situation occurs when a sectioning command is followed by <code>\label</code> and a paragraph break: </p><pre class="verbatim">\section*{A section}\label{section:label} First paragraph. </pre><p>Produced html is, after a few cosmetic simplifications: </p><pre class="verbatim"><h2 class="section">A section</h2> <p><a id="section:label"></a></p> <p>First paragraph.</p> </pre><p>Output is so, because closing the element <code>h2</code> implies re-opening a new paragraph.

Outputting symbols is now performed by using Unicode character references, an option that much more complies whith standards than the previous option of selecting a “symbol” font. Observe that this choice is now possible, because more and more browsers correctly display such references. See Figure <a href="#symbol%3Afig">1</a> for a few such symbols.</p><p>However, this means that ancient or purposely limited browsers (such as text-oriented browsers) cannot display maths, as translated by H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A. For authors that insist on avoiding symbols that cannot be shown by any browser, H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A offers a degraded mode that outputs text in place of symbols. H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A operates in this mode when given the <a id="hevea_default4"></a><span class="c013">-textsymbols</span> command-line option. Replacement text is in English. For instance. the “∈” symbol is replace by “in”. This is far from being satisfactory, but degraded mode may be appropriate for documents than contain few symbols.</p> <h4 class="subsubsection" id="sec17">3.2.3  Displays</h4> <p> Apart from containing symbols, formulas specify strong typesetting constraints: sub-elements must be combined together following patterns that departs from normal text typesetting. For instance, fractions numerators and denominators must be placed one above the other. H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A handles such constraints in display mode only.</p><p>The main two operating modes of H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A are <em>text</em> mode and <em>display</em> mode. Text mode is the mode for typesetting normal text, when in this mode, text items are echoed one following the other and paragraph breaks are just blank lines, both in input and output. The so called <em>displayed-paragraph environments</em> of L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X (such as <span class="c013">center</span> or <span class="c013">quote</span>) are rendered by html block-level elements (such as <span class="c013">div</span> or <span class="c013">blockquote</span>). Rendering is correct becauses both L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X displayed environments and html block-level elements start a new line. Conversly, since opening a html block-level elements means starting a new line, any text that sould appear inside a paragraph must be translated using only html text-level elements. H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A chooses to translate in-text formulas that way.</p><p>H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A display mode allows more control on text placement, since entering display mode means opening a html <code>table</code> element and that tables allow to control the relative position of their sub-elements. Displays come in two flavor, horizontal displays and vertical displays. An horizontal display is a one-row table, while a vertical display is a one-column table. These tables holds display sub-elements, displays sub-elements being centered vertically in horizontal display mode and horizontally in vertical display mode.</p><p>Display mode is first opened by opening a <code>displaymath</code> environment (e.g. by <code>$$</code> or <code>\[</code>). Then, sub-displays are opened by L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X constructs which require them. For instance, a displayed fraction (<code>\frac</code>) opens a vertical display.</p><p>The distinction between text and display modes clearly appears while typesetting math formulas. An in-text formula such as <code>$\int_1^2 xdx = \frac{3}{2}$</code> appears as: ∫<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup> <span class="c018">xdx</span> =3/2, while the same formula has a better aspect in display mode: </p><table class="display dcenter"><tr class="c035"><td class="dcell"><span class="c017">∫</span></td><td class="dcell"><table class="display"><tr><td class="dcell c030">2</td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c030"><br> <br> </td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c030">1</td></tr> </table></td><td class="dcell"><span class="c018">xdx</span> = </td><td class="dcell"><table class="display"><tr><td class="dcell c027">3</td></tr> <tr><td class="hbar"></td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c027">2</td></tr> </table></td></tr> </table><p> As a consequence, H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A is more powerful in display mode and formulas should be displayed as soon as they get a bit complicated. This rule is also true in L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X but it is more strict in H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A, since html capabilities to typeset formulas inside text are quite poor. In particular, it is not possible to get in-text “real” fractions or in-text limit-like subscripts.</p><p>Users should remember that H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A is not T<sub>E</sub>X or L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X and that H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A author neither is D. E. Knuth nor L. Lamport. Thus, some formulas may be rendered poorly. For instance, two fractions with different denominator and numerator height look strange. </p><table class="display dcenter"><tr class="c035"><td class="dcell"><table class="display"><tr><td class="dcell c027">1</td></tr> <tr><td class="hbar"></td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c027"><table class="display"><tr class="c035"><td class="dcell"><table class="display"><tr><td class="dcell c027"><span class="c018">N</span></td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c027"><span class="c017">∑</span></td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c027"><span class="c018">i</span>=0</td></tr> </table></td><td class="dcell"><span class="c018">U</span><sub><span class="c018">i</span></sub></td></tr> </table></td></tr> </table></td><td class="dcell"> = </td><td class="dcell"><table class="display"><tr><td class="dcell c027"><table class="display"><tr class="c035"><td class="dcell"><table class="display"><tr><td class="dcell c027"><span class="c018">N</span></td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c027"><span class="c017">∑</span></td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c027"><span class="c018">i</span>=0</td></tr> </table></td><td class="dcell"><span class="c018">U</span><sub><span class="c018">i</span></sub></td></tr> </table></td></tr> <tr><td class="hbar"></td></tr> <tr><td class="dcell c027">1</td></tr> </table></td></tr> </table><p> The reason is that vertical displays in an horizontal display are html tables that always get centered in the vertical direction. Such a crude model cannot faithfully emulate any T<sub>E</sub>X box placement.</p><p>Users can get an idea on how H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A combines elements in display mode by giving the <a id="hevea_default5"></a><span class="c013">-dv</span> command-line option, which instructs H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A to add borders to the <code>table</code> elements introduced by displays.</p> <h4 class="subsubsection" id="sec18">3.2.4  Arrays and display mode</h4> <p>By contrast with formulas, which H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A attempts to render with text-level elements only when they appear inside paragraphs, L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X arrays always translate to the block-level element <code>table</code>, thereby introducing non-desired line breaks before and after in-text arrays. As a consequence, in-text arrays yield an acceptable output, only while alone in a paragraph.</p><p> Consider the following source: </p><pre class="verbatim">This is a small array: \begin{tabular}{|cc|} \hline item-1 & item-2 \\ \hline\end{tabular}.

Next sentence. </blockquote><p>However, since in some sense, all html tables are displayed, the <code>array</code> and <code>tabular</code> environments implicitly open display mode, thus allowing a satisfactory typesetting of formulas in arrays. More precisely, array elements whose column format specification is <code>l</code>, <code>c</code> or <code>r</code> are typeset in display mode (see section <a href="manual032.html#arraydef">B.10.2</a>).</p> <h3 class="subsection" id="sec19">3.3  Warnings</h3> <p> When H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A thinks it cannot translate a symbol or construct properly, it issues a warning.

The next two sections introduce H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A macros, then section <a href="manual006.html#trouble">4</a> describes how to proceed with greater detail.</p> <h3 class="subsection" id="sec20">3.4  Commands</h3> <p> Just like L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X, H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A can be seen as a macro language, macros are rewritten until no more expansion is possible. Then, either some characters (such as letters, integers…) are outputed or some internal operation (such as changing font attributes, or arranging text items in a certain manner) are performed.</p><p>This scheme favors easy extension of program capabilities by users. However, predicting program behaviour and correcting errors may prove difficult, since final output or errors may occur after several levels of macro expansion. As a consequence, users can tailor H<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>V<span class="c015"><sup>E</sup></span>A to their needs, but it remains a subtle task.
