Surely you jest.
Here you have so much mathematics that it belongs in a displayed
environment, yet you are trying to put it 'inline'.

Furthermore, you do not line up the = signs properly, and the lines are
cramped to be rather too close together.
Are you working in a narrow column ? Why else would you not allow your
inline math to use the full typesetting width that is available ?

  Yes, because LaTeX2HTML does not recognise use of \\ within inline
math as being valid markup for mathematics. It needs to be within an
environment designed for alignment and line-breaking, otherwise it will
not be recognised the way you seem to want it to be.

You have some nice stuff here; but there's too much on a single page.
Break it up over many smaller pages.
Some of the images have poor resolution so need to be shown much larger.

Marking-up for a web-document is generally harder than marking-up for
the printed page, since the graphics model is not so sophisticated,
and the resolution is considerably lower.

No changes are warranted, arising from this example.


Hope this helps,
