\usepackage{html}

This is specially designed for LaTeX2HTML.
The  html.sty  compatibility package loads  hyperref.sty  appropriately,
when the translation program is not LaTeX2HTML, but just ordinary LaTeX
or pdfLaTeX.

This is a poor hack for hyperref that doesn't make full use
of the possibilities available with  html.sty  .
