  It's because(if you don't mention this, i almost forget it.:),
  I have ~/.latex2html-init,

$ADDRESS = "<I>Compiled by Edward G.J. Lee ($address_data[1])</I>";
$default_language = 'taiwanese';
$TITLES_LANGUAGE = "taiwanese";
$charset = "big5";
$BOTTOM_NAVIGATION = 1;

  So, I didn't do anything after executing ``latex2html''. The
  taiwanese is just for testing only.

  Thanks, but I guess to config rc file maybe more convenient,
  cause sometimes we might write an utf-8 or other charset HTML.
