The problem with this is that the \ shows up in the html.  I only want
the % to show up.  If I were writing the LaTeX, I wouldn't write it
the way I did in my example.  But I am translating many preexisting
documents into html.  Some of the LaTeX is non-standard, so I
preprocess the LaTeX before sending it to latex2html.  So I will need
to modify the code for my preprocessor.
