=====
| Within the code to latex2html there is already a test for LaTeX2.09,
| looking something like the following:
| 
|     if ($preamble =~ ( ...... \\documentstyle/) {
| 
| within that set of braces { .... } add a line:
| 
|       $preamble .= "\n\\let\\providecommand\\newcommand\n";

I tested it, however the line 

  \let\providecommand\newcommand      ----- (1)

appears after "\providecommand" lines in the file "image.tex", so
        ^^^^^
latex209 says 

  ! Undefined control sequence. 
  l.XX \providecommand

at the compile of the file. I usually write a latex file as the 
following form:

  \documentstyle{article}
  \newcommand{...}
  \newcommand{...}
  ....
  \title{...}
  \author{...}
  \date{...}
  \begin{document}
  \maketitle
  (body)
  \end{document} 

Will you tell me know how to put the line (1) before 
"\providecommand" lines ?
