Oops, sorry; that's my fault, in a recent edit to support
multi-row cells in tables,   date: 2001/02/23 11:46:40; .

The relevant files are now fixed at the repository
 ---  all of  html3_2.pl  html4_0.pl  html4_01.pl  have a similar problem.

The diff in all cases is a 1-character edit:

cvs diff -r1.60 -r1.61 html3_2.pl
592c592
<     my $has_multirow = 1 if (s/\\multirow/s);
---
>     my $has_multirow = 1 if (/\\multirow/s);

The 's' before the reg-exp is clearly wrong.


Thanks for reporting this.
