In that case, you should be using the command-line switches: latex2html -html_version 4.0,latin1,unicode,utf8,..... ^^^^^^^^^^^^ or have the $HTML_OPTIONS variable set to include these. While you are thinking about this topic, please test this. These extensions have been available for a long time now, but I've not seen many examples of web-pages using them. > In the last 3 years, I'd say the installed base of software has shifted to > being able to handle Unicode, so I would definitely advise making it > supported and default. It would be nice to think that most of your audience is keeping up. Hopefully that is true, at least in the more affluent countries. > This page is a useful resource: > > http://www.unicode.org/charts/ > > The offending "o" is on the "Latin Extended-A" chart. With the 'latin1,unicode' options as above (actually the 'latin1' should be redundant) then LaTeX2HTML should catch the \H{o} and replace it by ő With also 'utf8' (or $USE_UTF8 = 1; ) then this ő should be replace by a 2-byte sequence, later in the processing. If you cannot get this to work, then report back to me with an example (and a URL to the bad results).
