The package colortbl steals my beloved horizontal rules in the longtable. When I run tex4ht.

% run: htlatex main.tex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
%\usepackage{colortbl}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{c|c}
fooo & baaar \\\hline
baz &  morebaz\\\hline
\end{longtable}


\end{document}

The file above gives a beautiful html, but when I load the package colortbl, it eats my \hline.

Question: how to get the horizontal rules and use the package colortbl?

Not sure of the official tex4ht customisation but the hrules end up as empty table rows with distinctive ids so you can add css rules such as

 #TBL-1-2-{ border-style: solid; border-bottom: 1pt; border-color: black;}
 #TBL-1-19-{ border-style: solid; border-bottom: 1pt; border-color: black;}

and the lines come back.

  • The id is not stable. If I add lines to the table, the ids will move....

  • yes I know, They are I think the table and row number, but its best I could do in the time available tonight. If someone posts a proper tex4ht customisation I'll delete this.

  • colortbl.4ht needs thorough rework. I am working on it, but not sure, when I'll be able to post a solution. As a workaround what you had suggested seems good enough than having nothing.
