[tex4ht] How do I remove the tag surrounding floats?

[David Strip]

In book style (and no doubt many others), tex4ht generates an <hr> before and after floats. While I don't pretend to understand the mechanics, it looks like it is created by this snippet from the html4.4ht file: \Configure{float}    {\ifOption{refcaption}{}{\csname par\endcsname\ShowPar \leavevmode}}    {\:xhtml{\IgnorePar\EndP}\HCode{<hr class="float"\xml:empty><div      class="float"\Hnewline>}}    {\ifvmode \IgnorePar \fi\EndP     \HCode{</div><hr         class="endfloat" />}\csname par\endcsname\ShowPar} I tried adding the above code, minus the <hr ..> tags to my cfg, but then my latex file fails to run through tex4ht. I get a "Missing $ inserted" error when a \begin{center} is encountered after \begin{table}. Here's a simple example: \documentclass{book} \begin{document} \chapter{Simple Example} \begin{table} \begin{center} \hbox{ \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}\hline entry1&entry2&entry3\\ entry4&entry5&entry6\\ \hline \end{tabular}} \end{center} \caption{a caption} \end{table} \end{document} I then tried just placing an unmodified copy of the \Configure{float} ... in my .cfg file and still get the error, so I guess I'm not supposed to put that chunk of code into my .cfg So, how do I achieve my goal? Thanks.
