I need to fix/add few things after texlive is installed for tex4ht. This is a summary of the items to do.
When using standalone package, this error will show up with tex4ht only
(/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex/generic/xkeyval/xkeyval.tex (/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex/generic/xkeyval/keyval.tex))) ! Extra \else. l.227 \else ? x
There is a patch for this. Get the updated standalone.sty and replace
the current installed one with it. The standalong.sty can be found at
https://bitbucket.org/martin_scharrer/standalone/raw/635aacfa0e8f2cba4
f4086f4f15d57791b18bf64/standalone.sty
Replace the file /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/latex/standalone/standalone
With it. Now this problem will go away.
