Two updates have already been made for biblatex since we tested compatibility problems of TeX4ht with the package last. This time, except for one change of the string, URL, which was hardwired in previous versions, becoming a localization string, all the remaining changes relate to biber, the bib database processor. None of these have any bearing on TeX4ht. However, a thorough run of all example files in the package bundle has been done and could not find any problems in generating HTML output identical to the PDF counterparts.
The test suit is available here as a composite tarball. The version of biblatex.4ht used for the tests which is the same as in the current version of TeX4ht distribution is also available here in case someone needs it.
biblatex 2.5. seems to work nicely with tex4ht. However, in all files formatted by “mk4ht oolatex”, I get a grey background behind the whole references section – is this the way it is meant to be, and what could I do to change it back to white?

Dave Edwards,
There should not be any grey background unless you had specified. It should be a bug, will have a look at this. But my knowledge of open office XML innards is limited. Anyway, will give a try.

Danny Baillie reported here that a combination of htlatex and biblatex generated wrong bib listing output for the following bib record:
@article{ref, Archiveprefix = {arXiv}, Eprint = {1205.1888}}
The output had multiple and nested href:
arXiv:
<a href=”http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.1888″>
<a href=”1205.1888″></a>
</a>
This has been fixed and changes comiited to project svn. A newer version of biblatex.4ht is needed to process eprint bib records correctly with biblatex + htlatex.
