We recommend that numbered examples be avoided unless absolutely necessary, as these prove difficult at present to convert to HTML. By `necessary', we mean if there is a need to refer to examples by number in a discussion (rather than saying, e.g. ``Example (4) shows...''). There is a workaround, however it involves duplicating material within environments specific to LaTeX and HTML. Examples of how to do this follow.
The subject of an extraposition verb such as `bother' in (1) is a pleonastic element and cannot therefore be regarded as being semantically selected:
|
(1) | It bothers Bill that Mary left |
The example was produced as follows:
The subject of an extraposition verb such as `bother' in
(\ref{3ex1}) is a pleonastic element and cannot therefore
be regarded as being semantically selected:
begin{latexonly}
\enumsentence{\label{3ex1}It bothers Bill that Mary left}
end{latexonly}begin{htmlonly}
\par
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\begin{equation}
\mbox{\htmlimage{align=nojustify}.}
\end{equation}\label{3ex1}\&It bothers Bill that Mary left}
\end{tabular}
\par
end{htmlonly}
Note that this layout pattern must be adhered to strictly, particularly with respect to placement of labels. Note also the necessary `.' in the element:
\mbox{\htmlimage{align=nojustify}.}
The subject of a raising verb such as `seem' is either contentful or pleonastic (2) according to the complement's subject subcategorisation:
|
(2) | Mary seems to be happy |
| It seems to bother Bill that Mary left |
This was produced as follows:
The subject of a raising verb such as `seem' is either
contentful or pleonastic (\ref{3ex3}) according to
the complement's subject subcategorisation:
begin{latexonly}
\enumsentence{\label{3ex3}
Mary seems to be happy\\
It seems to bother Bill that Mary left}
end{latexonly}begin{htmlonly}
\par
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\begin{equation}
\mbox{\htmlimage{align=nojustify}.}
\end{equation}\label{3ex3}&Mary seems to be happy\\
~&It seems to bother Bill that Mary left
\end{tabular}
\par
end{htmlonly}
Note here the necessary tilde character in the first cell of the second row of the tabular. Note further that we cannot at present cope with examples that are sub-numbered (3a, 3b, etc.) as we cannot convert the LaTeX mechanism used for this to HTML. Thus, if you wish to refer explicitly to each sub-example, we recommend that you create separate numbered examples: one numbered example for each original sub-example, in an enumsentence/tabular environment of its own. Note that glosses may if necessary be numbered by adopting an approach similar to the one given here.
