Hi, Fabian,

The above worked for me on my latex2html installation on Linux.  However,
that code is latex2html-specific; it won't work in regular LaTeX.  In
regular LaTeX (or pdfLaTeX), put a \colorbox around the verbatim
environment (you'll need the "color" package).  In case you don't know,
you can use the \latexhtml command to conditionalize your code.
HTH,
	Igor
