Thanks very much to Greg Gamble and Ross Moore for answering my question at
length about redefining sectioning commands. I understand all the reasons
why it is a *bad* idea and also that latex2html doesn't see sectioning
commands as macros. Thanks also for the instructions on how to make changes
by defining \mysection (for example) in terms of \section. (This may be
helpful for something else, but I can't use it this time.)
What I'm trying to do is come up with a consistent look for all our Computing
Center documentation. I don't want to change the section heading very much--
maybe a smaller font and less vertical space after the heading. But these are
minor, and if I can't do it that's ok. (I don't really want to change all our
current documents to use \mysection instead of \section.)
However, I would like to make all our documents have a certain background
color. I can do this for the main page because all the latex documents call a
macro called logo at the beginning and I put the bgcolor command in that
using the rawhtml environment. But each \section starts a new page (file) and
the background color doesn't carry over. I wanted to change the \section
command to include the color change so all the files would have the new
color. Is there a way to do that outside of the \section command?
Thanks again for your help,
-Harriet
