[l2h] Fails to number figures: bogus "arguments too complex"

Thanks for that, Ross,
The \rms and \peak commands I defined are certainly causing the problem. Replacing with something simple like
\newcommand{\rms}{\textbf{rms}~}
\newcommand{\peak}{\textbf{peak}~}
solves the problem (though its not what I wanted!)
However using
\DeclareRobustCommand{\rms}{{\footnotesize rms}~}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\peak}{{\footnotesize peak}~}
as you suggest does not work. The complaints about \leftmargin and p_at_ go away but it still fails to number figures. It says, eg,
No number for "Experimentalsetupforconstantvoltage.OSCoutputisinrange5mV<FONTSIZ
E="-1">rms</FONT>-1.1V<FONTSIZE="-1">rms</FONT>.Theamplifiermagnifiesvoltageupto
$100times$.TheinputtoportAisvoltageoverpiezoelectricdividedby10,000tokeepitlowen
ough.Thecurrentdetectorscreate1Vper1A."
It would appear to have converted \footnotesize into html *before looking up the caption*. Since the caption is in the aux file generated by latex, there is no html there and the matching fails.
There is a less serious manifestation of this behaviour in footnotes. I have the tex source
20mV\rms\footnote{In fact the HP...}
This comes out as
... SIZE="-1">rms 5
In fact the HP outputs voltage in dBm: ...
on the footnote page (footnote number 5)
So it seems that Latex2html struggles with sizing commands in captions.
