I don't think this line is significant. Looking at the source (the HTML  
code) for this web page, it seems to have been generated automatically  
from a LaTeX file using TeX4ht:

<meta name="generator" content="TeX4ht  
(http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html)">
<meta name="originator" content="TeX4ht  
(http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html)">

It seems something went wrong during the conversion process, generating  
the two lines:

\begin{lstlisting}
\end{lstlisting}

which shouldn't really be there (a LaTeX document should begin with  
\documentclass). This is at least the impression I get from looking at  
the HTML source for the example document:

<table width="100%"
class="verbatim"><tr class="verbatim"><td
class="verbatim"><div class="verbatim">
\begin{lstlisting}
 <br />\documentclass{article}
 <br />\author{me}
 <br />\date{\today}
 <br />\title{My First Document}
 <br />
 <br />\begin{document}
[...]
 <br />\end{document}
 <br />\end{lstlisting}
 <br />
</div>
</td></tr></table>

Hope this helps,
