Sorry if this is off-thread, but referring to my message of March 2006 http://www.tug.org/pipermail/latex2html/2006-March/003150.html I wonder if this html.sty update can solve the problem, which appears with an upgrade of a recent latex distribution (texlive-2004->texlive-2005) ? In fact I suspect not, as I get the same error with pdflatex or latex compilation, but if html.sty should be updated, this other problem could be considered. The compilation error I get is this: !

Is this reproducible elsewhere ? Kind regards -- Jean-Pierre _______________________________________________ latex2html mailing list latex2html@tug.org http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/latex2html
