I'm working on an ebook and i'd like to have a list of figures/tables at the end of every chapter and only for that chapter (so just like minilot and minilof, but unfortunately minitoc doesn't work with tex4ht). The config.cfg for the TOC looks like this so far:

letorigincludegraphicsincludegraphics

Preamble{xhtml,pic-tabular}



TocAt{chapter,section,subsection}

Configure{tableofcontents*}{chapter,section}

Configure{NavSection}{%

booltrue{tocnoempty}

HCode{<li>}}{HCode{<ol>Hnewline}}{}{Tg</ol>Tg</li>}

Css{nav#toc ol{list-style: none;}}



begin{document}

CssFile[custom.css] 

/* css.sty */

EndCssFile

Configure{CoverMimeType}{image/jpg}

DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps,.png,.jpg,.gif,}

EndPreamble

MWE:

Is there a way to accomplish what i described above?

The issue with the minitoc package is that it redefines lot of internal LaTeX commands, which interferes with tex4ht, which redefines them as well. In particular, it seems that table and figure information isn't saved. Fortunately, it works if the information had been saved in the normal LaTeX run. So before tex4ebook compile the document with normal LaTeX when tables or figures changed.

There is also one more issue.minilot and minilof commands use tabular environment internally and it causes a problem because you use the pic-tabular option, which instructs tex4ht to convert tables to images. To fix this, we need to provide alternative version of these commands, which don't use tabular. They also don't use spacing and page breaking commands that were originally uses, as these don't have any sense in the HTML code. It is generally better to just add some code to the commands redefined by tex4ht, but in this case we need to alter them heavily, as the original definition causes too much trouble.

Save this code as minitoc.4ht:

The TeX file doesn't need all the conditional code, just disable the tableofcontents, which is handled by tex4ebook:

The minitoc can be disabled in the .cfg file, just redefine it to relax:

letminitocrelax

This is the result:
