[l2h] eqnarray still not right

[Thomas Bewley]

Hi John -
My experience is that the ams environments (align, align*, aligned,  
alignat, etc) are more
powerful and work better than eqnarray, both when compiling with  
latex (the spacing looks
more natural, to my eye at least) and in latex2html.  Is that an  
acceptable workaround for you?
Have you tried it?  Their syntax is very similar, so it shouldn't be  
a difficult change to put into
the latex source...

ps - an unrelated point, but, apparently, no one has yet taken a  
crack at solving the subequations
problem I reported to this mailing list (on 24 Oct).  That one is  
seriously in my way, I can't put my book
online unless I find a workaround for this problem - it seems like  
this is not an unreasonable thing
for latex2html to be able to handle?  Unfortunately, I don't seem to  
have the savvy to do it myself...
