Sorry for the inconvenience; haven't checked that before forwarding it
blindly. Stupid me.

He was using -html_version '4.0,table' together with the array
package. I can confirm that those seem to interfere somehow.

Just in case it's interesting for latex2html development.

Ahah! The  'table'  option was created for  HTML 2.2 (I think!)
back when TABLE tags were first introduced to HTML.
It is completely superseded by HTML3.1, HTML3.2, HTML4.0 and later,
so should *never* be used with any of these!

(Yes, it's probably a bug in LaTeX2HTML that allows the  table.pl
module to be loaded when a more advanced version has been specified
already!)

Well, it's worth noting that someone tried this combination.
Cheers,
Ross

Hi Roland,

Hi,
FYI, a Debian user reported the problem described in the attachment.
See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276037

Could you please support the extended array/tabular syntax provided by
the 'array' package? Example:
\usepackage{array}
...
\begin{tabular}{{\sl}cl}
123foo\\
456bar\\
\end{tabular}
is not supported right now, the whole columns spec gets ignored
by latex2html, including even the 'cl'. To have the above typeset
properly in both the LaTeX and the HTML one has to manually apply
the formatting to the corresponding column contents:

This extended syntax *is* supported by LaTeX2HTML,
when generating HTML for version 3.2 or 4.0.
The translation of the given example in these cases should be as 
follows.

  ---
HTML 3.2 :
see:  http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/DebianBugs/arraytest-v32/
TABLE CELLPADDING=3
TRTD ALIGN=CENTERI123/I/TD
TD ALIGN=LEFTfoo/TD
/TR
TRTD ALIGN=CENTERI456/I/TD
TD ALIGN=LEFTbar/TD
/TR
/TABLE
  ---
HTML 4.0
see:  http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/DebianBugs/arraytest-v40/
TABLE CELLPADDING=3
TRTD ALIGN=CENTERI CLASS=slanted123/I/TD
TD ALIGN=LEFTfoo/TD
/TR
TRTD ALIGN=CENTERI CLASS=slanted456/I/TD
TD ALIGN=LEFTbar/TD
/TR
/TABLE

The relevant Perl modules for this part of the translation process
are
   $LATEX2HTMLDIR/versions/html3_2.pl
   $LATEX2HTMLDIR/versions/html4_0.pl
The versions of these modules available at  www.latex2html.org
agree with those used to produce the above examples:
landau.ics.mq.edu.au cvs status html4_0.pl
===
File: html4_0.plStatus: Up-to-date
   Working revision:1.41
   Repository revision: 1.41
/home/latex2ht/cvs/latex2html/user/versions/html4_0.pl,v
   Sticky Tag:  (none)
   Sticky Date: (none)
   Sticky Options:  (none)

landau.ics.mq.edu.au cvs status html3_2.pl
===
File: html3_2.plStatus: Up-to-date
   Working revision:1.64
   Repository revision: 1.64
/home/latex2ht/cvs/latex2html/user/versions/html3_2.pl,v
   Sticky Tag:  (none)
   Sticky Date: (none)
   Sticky Options:  (none)


So I do not understand the basis for this bug-report.
Perhaps the author was either:
  a. generating code for out-dated versions of HTML
  (e.g.  3.0, 3.1, or 2.x  or 1.x
--- though then LaTeX2HTML might have created an image)
or
  b. doing something significantly more complicated than
  in the stated example.
or
  c. it is the Debian distribution that is not sufficiently
  up-to-date.

Thanks for considering.

Have done so.

Best regards,
Ross

  Roland
