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

You can use this workaround, while the developers came up with possible fix.<br>

Thanks!<br>
<br>
But I think there is a small issue. Your code is too advanced for me<br>
to know where it is, so I'll show the final result.<br>
<br>
When I run this example latex file, using your update .cfg above,<br>
the resulting HTML shows both items of an numeration on the<br>
same line, instead of on separate lines:<br>
<br>

% notice no need to add \newenvironment{newspaper}{}{} now<br>
% it is in the updated .cfg file<div class="im"><br>

\lipsum[1-10]<br>
\end{multicols}<br>
<br>
\end{document}<br></div>
-------------------------<br>
<br>
Compiled using<br>
<br>
htlatex foo.tex "Jagath.cfg"<br>
<br>
Where Jagath.cfg is your .cfg code above.<br>
<br>
But when I compile the same latex file above using my earlier<br>
.cfg, then the items appear on separate lines as expected.<br>
<br>
I am using TL 2013 on Linux.<br>

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