Some time ago, Gilles adviced me to do the following : LC_COLLATE=C htmerge -c site1.conf LC_COLLATE=C htmerge -c site2.conf LC_COLLATE=C htmerge -c site3.conf *then* LC_COLLATE=C htmerge -c site1.conf -m site2.conf LC_COLLATE=C htmerge -c site1.conf -m site3.conf We both were not sure wether it was necessary to do the first pass or not but I still do this nowadays and it is working perfectly. Note : "LC_COLLATE=C" is there because I use another locale than C (or en_US).
