There is a reason for the truncation, at least on older Perl systems.
You can experiment with changes to the following block of coding,
from the latex2html script, part of the sub extract_parameters block:
if (!$alt) {
#...catching all the code for the ALT text.
local($keep_gt)=1;
$alt = &flatten_math($contents); undef $keep_gt;
#RRM: too long strings upset the DBM. Truncate to <= 165 chars.
if ( length($alt) > 163 ) {
local($start,$end);
$start = substr($alt,0,80);
$end = substr($alt,length($alt)-80,80);
$alt = join('',$start,"...\n ...",$end);
}
Hope this helps,
