LaTeX2HTML recognises  \begin{tabular} .... \end{tabular}
It has no direct support for  \begin{tabularx}...\end{tabularx}

You can provide such support with a conditional definition:

\begin{htmlonly}
\newenvironment{tabularx}[2]{\begin{tabular}{#2}}{\end{tabular}}
\end{htmlonly}

assuming that  \usepackage{html}  is in the preamble.

Without a definition such as above, the {tabularx} is treated
as an unknown environment, resulting in an image, as you have seen.

What do you mean by "the way it should" ?

LaTeX provides a simple default layout for \maketitle; so also does LaTeX2HTML.
If you want the date, you need to ask for it; e.g. using \date{\today}.

If you wish to customise the title, then link CSS styles to the tagging
used within the title part of the HTML page.



Hope this helps,
