latex2html: patch for convert_length

[Brett Wuth]

Hi,

Lengths in latex can have optional spaces in them such as "3.5in" or
"3.5 in".

l2h98_2beta6.tar.gz does not support spaces, which broke one of my files
that used:

\def\ATEDictInfo#1#2{
  \noindent 
    {\bf #1: }
    \begin{minipage}[t]{3.5 in}#2 \end{minipage}
  }


Here's a small patch to the convert_length function that will fix the
problem.

Hope this is the right way to submit additional changes,
