At least one of these should work for you.
Did you actually try these? I have tried them with 2002-2-1 (1.71) and
get - as in Mercado's version - the BR inserted.
best regards

The problem is that, when generating multipage HTML, the BR
pushes the page title down, so pages (sections) with labels are
formatted differently than pages without labels.
Then make sure you put a \label on *every* section.
This consistency is good practice anyway, because later
you may decide you want to refer to it afterall,
and the label is in-place already.
Also, you will then have an entry within the labels.pl
file, so that others can refer to each section using the
\externallabels feature, even if you do not do so yourself.
It's easy to write a macro that does it for you;
e.g. \newcommand{\mysection}[2]{\section{#1\label{#2}}} .
Put this in the header and it will be recognised as
a home-grown macro, so expanded before page-splitting
occurs. Thus it will work just fine in both LaTeX
and LaTeX2HTML.
BTW, your \label names shouldn't be just Sect-A, Sect-B,
etc. but something that gives a hint of what the section
is all about. This is particularly useful when making
references from external sites.
For example, if you generate multipage HTML using the sample
document below, you will see that Page A is formatted differently
from Page B due to the fact that Page A has a label. More
specifically, the title (inside the the H1 tag) for Page A is
pushed down a line compared to Page B.
Yes it will --- so treat page B the same way as page A.
HTML is not a sophisticated page-layout language, so
you have to work with greater consistency if that is
what you require of your output.
Either that, or make greater use of CSS styles.
You can edit the stylesheet that LaTeX2HTML produces
automatically. Such edits will *not* be lost.
Or add a META reference to an external stylesheet.

[l2h] Sections and labels
I am creating a document using LaTeX and LaTeX2HTML, and I am unsure
how to use the \section command and the \label command together.
If I use the \label command before the \section command, then my link
doesn't go to the right page. If I use the \section command before
the \label command, then I get strange markup with a br / tag within
the h1 tag:
H1A NAME=SECTION0002/A
A NAME=Page-B/A
BR
Page B
/H1
Is this a bug is LaTeX2HTML? I am including a small, self-contained
sample below.
I am using LaTeX2HTML version 2002-2-1 (1.71).
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ross,
Thanks for the quick and helpful reply.
I tried both of your suggestions, but unfortunately neither of them worked.
Both produced the funny html that I included in my first email.
Any other ideas?

No -- this is by design! It ensures that the target anchor is above the actual title, so that when you jump to the anchor you see the title at the top of the page. Before CSS rules, this used to be the only way to get the desired result upon hyperlinking to the target. I suppose an alternative would be to put the targets above the H1 but that was rather hard to program, with the page-splitting algorithm. How would you expect it to be? And does it actually work properly with such HTML coding? I am including a small, self-contained sample below. I am using LaTeX2HTML version 2002-2-1 (1.71). Thanks in advance. Hope this helps, Ross PS. sorry, I didn't look closely enough before my previous reply.
