[l2h] Re: verbatim-like environments

[Igor Pechtchanski]

For the record, I managed to fix this using

\newenvironment{AAApreform}[1]{%
\begin{tabular}{|l|}\hline%
#1
\begin{alltt}
}{\end{alltt}% This has to be on the same line as the braces
\hline\end{tabular}%
}
\newenvironment{BBBpreform}{%
\begin{AAApreform}{\color[rgb]{1.0,0.0,0.0}}{\end{AAApreform}%
}

And adding the following

$alltt_rx = 'AAApreform|BBBpreform';
1;

to .latex2html-init.

Hope this helps someone.
