Hi,

  I used the patch posted by Bob Daley on 28 April i.e. to
  insert

    $text = $img_params...

  in sub purify_caption. While it did no harm, it did not fix my 
  problem: the lack of figure numbers when the caption contains 
  maths.

  My supervisor observed there was a problem with captions with l2h
  whenever the package `amsmath' was used. I suspect if I didn't use
  the package then Bob Daley's patch would work for me ... but I use
  the `amsmath' package quite extensively. Can someone supply a patch
  that will work with `amsmath'? ... or is the problem now comprehensively
  fixed in later versions? I'm still using l2h98.1p1 after finding
  too many problems with p2 p3 and even p4.

  BTW The `align*' environment supplied by `amsmath' is far nicer than
  `eqnarray*' ... but to get correct centering of the environment via
  l2h I need to nest inside \DIV and \endDIV which I define as follows:

    \def\DIV{\begin{rawhtml}
           <br><p></p>
           <div align=center>
         \end{rawhtml}}
    \def\endDIV{\begin{rawhtml}
             </div>
             <p></p>
             <br clear="all">
            \end{rawhtml}}

  This works fine and also works to ensure centering of the `gather*'
  environment. When it comes to the numbered environments, however, there is a
  problem: while l2h uses its own counter for the `eqnarray' environment
  (and so generates correct numbers), the `align' environment is passed
  naively to dvips and each new `align' environment has its equations start
  from 1. Could whoever did the fine work on implementing the `eqnarray*'
  and `eqnarray' translation by l2h, please adapt these to the `amsmath'
  environments: `align', `align*', `gather', `gather*'.

  Regards,
  Greg Gamble
