The \copyright command is recognised by LaTeX2HTML.
It puts in the numeric reference: ©
Other symbols that are part of ISO-Latin-1 fonts are handled similarly.
There are very few entity names in the HTML DTDs,
so things like © are *NOT* supported, since they are not universally
recognised by browsers.
There are many more possibilities when you use:
-html_version 4.0,unicode
Look at the file $LATEX2HTMLDIR/versions/unicode.pl
to see what entities are supported, using LaTeX commands.
The \begin{rawhtml}....\end{rawhtml} environment is for including
large chunks of pre-formatted HTML code;
mainly for things that have no counterpart in LaTeX.
You should always use separate lines for the delimiters:
\begin{rawhtml}
...
...
\end{rawhtml}
else pattern-matching may fail, esp. in the LaTeX runs.
Thus you are unlikely to get the right amount of white-space around single entities.
You could try the \HTMLcode macro, from html.sty .
e.g. \HTMLCODE{SPAN}{\©}
...but if you do this kind of thing your document will *not* be valid HTML.
Hope this helps,
Ross Moore
