[l2h] Format of array of formulae

Hello Ross and Mailing List Friends,

In latex2html output is very different for entries in an "eqnarray" and 
"equation".  The "equation" markup causes more or less central placement of 
the formula, whilst the "eqnarray" more or less right-justifies it.  

I take the liberty to attach a small tex file of data which, when processed, 
shows the differences very clearly.  I hope I will be forgiven for sending an 
attachment.  Generally attachments are a "no-no" in mailing lists, but this 
is such a small file = 1.3 KB.

Looking at the html source, it would seem to me that a replacement of "RIGHT" 
spec in a couple of places by "middle" would make the output much more 
consistent.  This is the listing of the modified html source snippet:

<TABLE CELLPADDING="0" ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="100%">
<TR VALIGN="MIDDLE"><TD NOWRAP ALIGN="middle"><IMG
 WIDTH="72" HEIGHT="33" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img1.png"
 ALT="$\displaystyle \bar P_{1} = - \bar P_{4}$"></TD>
<TD>&nbsp;</TD>
<TD>&nbsp;</TD>
<TD WIDTH=10 ALIGN="RIGHT">
(2)</TD></TR>
<TR VALIGN="MIDDLE"><TD NOWRAP ALIGN="middle"><IMG
 WIDTH="72" HEIGHT="33" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img2.png"
 ALT="$\displaystyle \bar P_{2} = - \bar P_{5}$"></TD>

The "RIGHT" replacements by "middle" are made in lower case to indicate what I 
would change as a "quick fix".  But not by hand...

Ross, thank you for your patience.  A person who some 25-30 years ago attended 
some of my lectures read my manuscript, translated by latex2html, and in the 
two pages of comments, complained about my inconsistent formatting of 
equation arrays with respect to other equations.  I think he underestimated 
the automated nature of LaTeX formatting!

Kind regards,

Al.
