Hi Nasser,
Your configuration file can be slightly modified as given below to get *

I have tested this with the following TeX code:
-----------------
\documentclass{article}%
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{multicol}
\setlength{\columnsep}{20pt}
\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.01pt}
\newenvironment{newspaper}{}{}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-2]
\begin{multicols}{6}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{multicols}
\lipsum[1-2]
\begin{multicols}{4}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{multicols}
\lipsum[1-2]
\begin{multicols}{2}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{multicols}
\lipsum[1-2]
\begin{multicols}{4}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
-----------------
You can use this workaround, while the developers came up with possible fix.

Thanks!
But I think there is a small issue. Your code is too advanced for me
to know where it is, so I'll show the final result.
When I run this example latex file, using your update .cfg above,
the resulting HTML shows both items of an numeration on the
same line, instead of on separate lines:
--------------------------------
\documentclass{article}%
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{multicol}
\setlength{\columnsep}{20pt}
\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.01pt}
% notice no need to add \newenvironment{newspaper}{}{} now
% it is in the updated .cfg file
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{enumerate}
\item A
\item B
\end{enumerate}
\lipsum[1-10]
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
-------------------------
Compiled using
htlatex foo.tex "Jagath.cfg"
Where Jagath.cfg is your .cfg code above.
But when I compile the same latex file above using my earlier
.cfg, then the items appear on separate lines as expected.
I am using TL 2013 on Linux.
thanks,

The div is hardcoded to 2 columns in HTML for now and the
other properties are hardcoded.
One can make newenv. for 3 columns, or pass the number of
columns as argument, but I am not good in Latex to do that
yet.
So, the above now generates HTML with 2 columns. I tried
it on firefox, chrome and IE and it all works. And pdflatex
works as before.
This is better for me than having to use tabular with 2 columns
to get the same effect in HTML.
