But LaTeX stops at that point too.
! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.19 \end{itemize}
?
By pre-testing with LaTeX before running a LaTeX2HTML job,
the error will be detected.
This has always been the recommended way to use LaTeX2HTML,
and indeed is a *requirement* when there are symbolic links
and/or figure-captions that need to be resolved.
OK, it would be nicer in LaTeX2HTML dealt more sympathetically
with the problem. But it has never been part of its design
to try to catch and work-around all possible LaTeX errors.
