Hello,
I tried the same latex file on linux, and used latex2html there, and I see
the same problem on linux as well.
So, may be something wrong with my latex file?
Could someone who has latex2html working on their system please try to run
latex2html on my file? I tarred the folder with the file in it and put it
here, it is called foo.tar
http://12000.org/tmp/latex/
when do tar -xf foo.tar it will create a folder and inside that there is a
file called analytic.tex
if you do
latex2html analytic.tex
and then view the result, do you get those <tex2html_comment_marks> in the
equation images?
I assume there are people on this mailing list who are using latex2html :)
thanks,
--Nasser
