pgfpicture environments do not work with tex4ht driver

[dcpurton]

I can't get anything to work inside a pgfpicture environment with the tex4ht driver. dvisvgm is fine.

Running this with htlatex produces an empty \jobname-1.svg file and the HTML file doesn't even reference \jobname-1.svg at all.

\documentclass{article}
%\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvisvgm.def}% works
\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-tex4ht.def}
\usepackage{pgf}
\begin{document}
\begin{pgfpicture}
  \pgfpathrectangle{\pgfpointorigin}{\pgfpoint{2cm}{1cm}}
  \pgfusepath{stroke}
\end{pgfpicture}
\end{document}

It works with he dvisvgm4ht driver but not with tex4ht-updated.

You can make it a duplicate if you want, but "manual doesn't build" is pretty generic :). I guess it depends on whether you are resigned to tex4ht being broken for the time being. If so, I won't bother testing things with it.

Well, the only testcase we currently have is the manual and since that doesn't build with tex4ht, we can't test it at all.
