Your definition of \bno is a little sloppy.
It leaves boldface active for whatever follows the \bno
which may not be what you really want.
If you use \def\bno{\textbf{no}} then there are no problems at all.
OK, that doesn't explain the bug...
...but it may explain why it hasn't been seen before. ;-)
The error is actually a case of incorrect order of expansion
--- it easily fixed.
Within the latex2html script, or the .config , or an .latex2html-init
file you need to ensure that \uppercase and \lowercase
are *wrapped* in the {tex2html_deferred} environment.
Do this by adding the lines:
lowercase # {}
uppercase # {}
into the list of commands following:
&process_commands_wrap_deferred (<<_RAW_ARG_DEFERRED_CMDS_);
and ending with
_RAW_ARG_DEFERRED_CMDS_

No, Ian's problem is not related...
..except that it would also not occur if he used
\textbf{....} in the title, rather than simply \bf .
A similar problem occurs with undelimited font-change macros in \caption s.
The current version of latex2html at the developer's repository has this
problem fixed with captions ...
...it's a 2-liner, so by tomorrow it will be fixed for sectioning commands
as well.
(Ian, if you need the fix sooner, then email me directly.)
Thanks to Dan and Ian for reporting these minor errors.
If anyone else has noticed similar problems, please report them ASAP.
so that there can shortly be a (hopefully) bug-free update: v98.1p2
All the best,
Ross Moore
