Verbatim Macro not expanded in htlatex

Question

verbatim Text is not expanding when using htlatex. How to turned on? My MWE is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\def\myverbtext#1{{\bfseries #1}}
\begin{document}
This is the sample paragraph.

\begin{verbatim}
This is the \myverbtext{verbatim} text.
\end{verbatim}

\begin{equation}
\alpha + \beta = \gamma
\end{equation}

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{equation}
\myverbtext{\rho} \alpha + \beta = \gamma
\end{equation}
\end{verbatim}

\end{document}

My tex4ht command is:

htlatex file.tex

Answer 1

What OP really wants is to convert LaTeX document with equations to DOCX format with math in Mathtype format. It is possible, but not straight forward, we need several conversion steps for best results:

1. compile the document to OpenDocument format

   mk4ht oolatex filename

result of the compilation is filename.odt file.

2. While current Word can open it, it is better to do some cleanup with LibreOffice, Word has sometimes problems with math in ODT produced by tex4ht. So open the filename.odt in LibreOffice and save it as filename.docx.

3. Open filename.docx in Word, and from Mathtype bookmark select Convert Equations button:

Select all equation types to convert and select the whole document:

All your equations should be converted to Mathtype now
