[l2h] buglett?

[gabriele balducci]

Hello,

I'm using a somewhat oldish version (99.1) so I don't know if this
report has still any use.


My scenario is as follows.

I translate a {slides} latex document (yes, I know that there are
smarter ways...). I change the document class to {article} in the
Makefile and all works quite nicely.

In order to have a title for each slide in the table of contents of
the HTML version, the latex source for each slide environment has the
following template:

          %%%%%%%%%%%%%
          % S L I D E %
          %%%%%%%%%%%%%
          \begin{htmlonly}
          \section[Slide n. \thesection: Title of this slide]{}
          \end{htmlonly}
          \begin{slide}

          ...

          \end{slide}


Here comes the (actually not that very tremendous) problem. If the
mandatory arg of the \section command is empty (like above), then 
in the HTML I get a `.' as the section title. In order to avoid the
dot, something invisible must be placed inside the braces, e.g.:

          \section[Slide n. \thesection: Title of this slide]{ }
                                (blank here) -----------------^



Is this a buglett (or a feature :))?
   If so, does my report still apply to the latest versions of l2h?
      If so, is there a quick fix?
         If so, could anybody send it to me?


I thank you very much in advance for any help.


Ciao
Gabriele
