Package: latex2html Version: 2002-2-1-20050114-5 (This bug seems to exist since 2004 (but not in Debian), though I could not find a bug report anywhere. I'm sorry if this bug is already documented somewhere.)
This bug showed up on the development server of fli4l <(http://www.fli4l.de/> since Debian ETCH was installed. In some of our LATEX documents we use a math construction a.o. to obtain proper "<" and ">"'s: $<$text$>$. (That should show as <text> in the browsed html.) The output shown in the browser however since the update mentioned above is: <mathend000#text>mathend000# (If you look for "mathend000#" in Google, you see many WWW-pages that are contaminated with this bug.) We found a patch for the bug at: <http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/latex2html/2004-February/002688.html>. This patch improves the situation in such a way that the text "mathend000#" is no longer there, but it shows a space instead (< text> ). The patch therefore is not sufficient. Here the different html codes generated from Latex's {\em $<$config verzeichnis$>/$\_fli4l.txt}: 1. we used to have: <EM><SPAN CLASS="MATH"><</SPAN>config verzeichnis<SPAN CLASS="MATH">> /</SPAN>_fli4l.txt</EM> 2. with the present version we get: <EM><SPAN CLASS="MATH"><</SPAN> <tex2html_verbatim_mark>mathend000#config verzeichnis<SPAN CLASS="MATH">> /</SPAN> <tex2html_verbatim_mark>mathend000#_fli4l.txt</EM> 3. with the present version patched with the patch, mentioned above. we obtain: <EM><SPAN CLASS="MATH"><</SPAN> <!-- MATHEND --> config verzeichnis<SPAN CLASS="MATH">> /</SPAN> <!-- MATHEND --> _fli4l.txt</EM> There is definitely something wrong and the published patch is not sufficient. Unfortunately we could not find a proper solution ourselves other than going back to an older version.
