Hi Kapil,

The problem may be one of terminology.

1. The "styles" options refer to options for the tex4ht.sty LaTeX
   package. Since tex4ht refers to many things I thought of
   clarifying this aspect explicitly.

2. The "tex4ht" options refers to the options for the tex4ht
   postprocessor that emits html.

3. The "t4ht" options referes to the options for the t4ht program
   that is a "make"-like utility that runs a number of different
   programs that as per the rules in the .lg file.

Clearly, I have not explained this properly in the existing man page
so perhaps you should file a bug again. I'll try to improve on the
existing documentation in my next update to the package.
========================================================================

Thanks!

bye,
  Roland
