make4ht with table environment

Question

When I have running pdflatex it's not showing error and showing error with make4ht. How to rectify this? and How to get the entities should be hexadecimal values instead of utf? (Ex: “ should be “).

Where to get/see the documentation of make4ht-domfilter file?

My MWE is:

\documentclass{acm-book}
\usepackage{balance}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{booktabs,hyperref,listings,xcolor,colortbl}
\usepackage[inactive]{fancytooltips}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\usepackage{makeidx}

Furthermore, legacy software systems are notoriously difficult to replace. As noted experienced by this author as a chief information officer, legacy systems take considerable effort and money to replace and tend to be built upon, rather than replaced. So, those working on systems for complex organizations are likely to have to deal with these existing software systems. US Social Security Administration still dependencies on legacy software further entrenches its use. Other systems used by the US government have software sub-systems.

\begin{table}[!t]
\caption{\label{tab:4.1}\textbf{MIPS machine code instruction types}}
\arrayrulecolor{black}
\begin{tabular}{ | l | c | c | c | c | c | c |}
\hline
Instruction Type & opcode &  &  & & & \\
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|r|}{\#bits} & 6 & 5 & 5 & 5 & 5 & 6\\
\hline
\hline
R-type & op & rs & rt & rd & shamt & funct\\
\hline
I-type & op & rs & rt & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{address/immediate}\\
\hline
J-type & op & \multicolumn{5}{l|}{target address}  \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}


When reusing existing software, it is wise to evaluate the relevance of the techniques and assumptions that were used in building that original software. This book focuses on software as a technology and how it has evolved over time. We will look at the trends, important innovations, and events, as well as the ever-broadening world of software.

Answer 1

This seems like a bug in TeX4ht support for the Colortbl package. It assumes that the \arrayrulecolor command is used inside tabular or other similar environment. When you use it outside, like in your case, it will break.

The fixed redefinition of the command may look like this:

\newcommand\tmp:arrayrulecolor[2][named]{%
\ifvoid\@arstrutbox% test if we are inside a tabular environment
\convertcolorspec{#1}{#2}{HTML}\:tmp\global\let\hline:color\:tmp% we are not
\else%
\noalign{\convertcolorspec{#1}{#2}{HTML}\:tmp\global\let\hline:color\:tmp}% we are
\fi
}
\HLet\arrayrulecolor\tmp:arrayrulecolor

This version of \arrayrulecolor saves the declared color in the form that is usable in CSS styling for array lines.

The \ifvoid\@arstrutbox is used to detect if we are inside tabular, when we need to wrap the color extraction in \noalign command to prevent compilation errors.

There is also an issue caused by use of \textbf inside \caption. Try this version of nameref.4ht:
