Hi,
first a silly question, where are the patches located ?
it seems as if latex2html processes the content of an index command
very differently then latex, instead of treating them verbatim
they are normally processed so that for instance a % sign in
an index leads to ignoring the rest of the input line ?
an example
\documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
what happens with an index\index{%} if it contains
special characters like \%, \$, etc.
\LaTeX\ handles them correctly, latex2html doesn't.
\end{document}
Produces:
Translating ...
0/1:top of error: for error.html
*** translating preamble ***
...
*** preamble done ***
;...
Cannot find matching bracket for 5.;.
*** no brace for \index , before:
\documentclass{book}
*** using "
\documentclass" as the argument instead; is this correct? ***
..
*** no brace for \index , before:
{<tex2html_comment_mark>
*** using "<" as the argument instead; is this correct? ***

best regards,
