Hi,
(sorry about the previous mail, I forgot to append the example)
I'm having trouble with the mbox command when the argument
contains $something$, everything after the mbox command
within the same section will be thrown out by the translator.
Below follows sample input and output. Have I missed something ?
best regards,
Ben Polman

%% sample latex source

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{html}
\newcommand{\TRY}{\mbox{$\langle${\sc TRY}$\rangle$}}
%%%begin{latexonly}
%%\newcommand{\TRY}{\mbox{$\langle${\sc TRY}$\rangle$}}
%%%end{latexonly}
%%\begin{htmlonly}
%%\newcommand{\TRY}{{$\langle${\sc TRY}$\rangle$}}
%%\end{htmlonly}
\begin{document}
A very small sample to show a strange behaviour of latex2html
with respect to the treatment of the mbox command.
If the mbox argument contains \$\ signs, strange things happen.
Try the following example \TRY\ and notice that everything
after the mbox is thrown away. If you include the commented out
part at the top and remove the first newcommand
you have a work around but not a real solution.
\end{document}
