Glad to hear this.
With the following document:
documentclass{book}
\usepackage{html}
\begin{document}
\label{dog}
The quick brown dog is referenced
\hyperref[page]{here}{on page~}{}{dog}.
\end{document}
the commands:
latex test;dvips test
works just fine.
As it should.
I spent a lot of time getting the \hyperref command
to work in html.sty .
It has various compatibility modes so that you can use it
consistently both with LaTeX2HTML and with the hyperref.sty
package under ordinary LaTeX processing.
BUT, using
texi2pdf test
shows the "~".
Hmm. But texi here means 'texinfo' doesn't it?
Add this is designed for interpreting Unix 'info' coding.
Sorry I don't know the details for this, but is ~ meant to
be a non-breaking space under these circumstances?
If so, then there is clearly a problem with the definition
of the \hyperref command with this.
It surely relates to the desire to have ~ as a bare character
when used within a URL, but to allow it to have its ordinary
(TeX) meaning when part of the anchor text.
This requires delicate \catcode switching.
Easy to get it wrong.
I had the texi2pdf in my make files. Sort of like using
texi2pdf since it takes care of label regeneration, but I'll change
back to latex as the command. Unless someone else has a suggestion?
Hope this helps,
Ross
