[l2h] A sum in the denominator of a fraction didn't look quite normal.

[Pat Somerville]

Thanks for responding to this issue.  However, for me in a .tex file a LaTeX 
command involving \sum\nolimits... in the denominator of a fraction, after 
running "latex2html.............." on the .tex file, in the so-produced 
.html file did not produce a perfect-looking summation with the limits only 
above and only below the summation symbol, the capital Greek letter sigma 
(Instead the limits were positioned somewhat after the summation symbol, 
more like where the limits following an integral sign would be.); as 
suggested earlier for me, using \sum\limits.., however, was a good solution 
for me to produce the good-looking summation with the limits above and below 
the capital Greek letter sigma, just as they should be placed.  So this is 
an example, but probably not exactly the same as mine, of what generally 
worked well for me in a .tex file:

\begin{equation}
y=\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i
\end{equation}
