[tex4ht] How to insert HTML code at any location in the generated HTML file?

[Michal Hoftich]

Correct way is to not insert any HTML code to the document, but
instead redefine ordinary LaTeX commands to insert html codes in .4ht
files.

If you really want to insert HTML code directly, you can define
command which will eat arguments in normally LaTeX run and insert
\HCode with tex4ht. Like this (untested, just an idea):

\documentclass{article}
\ifdefined\HCode
\newcommand\html[1]{%
\HCode{#1}%
}%
\else
\newcommand\html[1]{}%
\fi
\begin{document}
\html{<div class="hello>world</div>}
\end{document}
