Yes, you are right; there's a bug in latex2html.pin .
It's an easy edit in sub replace_strange_accents :
REPLACE:
s/\?`/&iso_map("questacute", "")/geo;
s/!`/&iso_map("exclamacute", "")/geo;
WITH:
s/\?`/&iso_map("iquest", "")/geo;
s/!`/&iso_map("iexcl", "")/geo;
Also, in $LaTeX2HTMLDIR/versions/latin5.pl the entity is called
iexclam instead of iexcl , so that should also be changed (2 places).
> I am currently using V99.2beta6 (Revision 1.10).
> Is there a way to solve the problem without editing the output?
Yes, do the edits mentioned above, and re-install.
(Or edit the installed latex2html files instead.)
Hope this helps,
