No, it was version 3.2, the problem is that BORDER="0" is not
the default for displaymath.
I did the following patch to latex2html, to get BORDER="0" with
the displaymath-environment. I have no idea, why displaymath
was present in the if-part, which does nothing and also in the
elsif-part. My be there are some nasty sideeffects of this
modification.
--- PART OF latex2html of sub embed_image around line 9200 ---
local($border);
$border = "\" BORDER=\"0" unless ($HTML_VERSION < 2.2 );
# AO
#
# In the following line I removed displaymath to get
# BORDER="0" with displaymath
if (($name =~ /figure|table|eqnarraystar/)&&(!$align)) {
} elsif ($name =~ /displaymath_/) {
$aalign = "MIDDLE".$border;
} elsif (($name =~ /(equation|eqnarray)($|\d)/)&&(!$align)) {
if ($HTML_VERSION >= 3.2) {
$aalign = ($EQN_TAGS eq "L") ? "RIGHT" : "LEFT";
};
# $aalign .= "\" ALIGN=\"middle"; }
# elsif ($EQN_TAGS eq "L") { $aalign = "left" }
# elsif ($EQN_TAGS eq "R") { $aalign = "right" }
} elsif ($name =~ /inline|display|entity|xy|diagram/ && $depth{$name} != 0) {
$aalign = "MIDDLE".$border;
# } elsif (($name =~indisplay)&&($HTML_VERSION >= 3.2)) {
# $aalign = "MIDDLE".$border;
} else { $aalign = "BOTTOM".$border }

I think it's save to wrap the choosen part of footnotemark in $...$ and
treat it as an normal inline image if the footnotemark is inside a
displaymath-environment.

I will try that, thanks
