There is also a known problem where you get black bars at the bottom of equations and math mode characters in general. This is an artefact of the image processing....process. latex2html converts all math mode characters into images when making the html, and when the converter was updated, the script lost its ability to remove the temporary black lines it put in to help it identify the bottom of images. There is a more detailed explanation [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/webpub/Eliminating_Black_Rules_Under.html here], but for us, it boils down to editing '''l2hconf.pm'''.

			Voila! You should now have a working version of the script in ~/latex2html/bin :)

			== Using the script ==
			You need to compile your latex file before you run the latex2html script. Assuming you haven't compiled it before, you need to do:
			<pre>
			latex FILE.tex
			bibtex FILE
			latex FILE.tex
			latex FILE.tex
			</pre>
			This will put in all the references from the bib file(s). You then execute the script as follows:
			<pre>
			perl ~/latex2html/bin/latex2html -local_icons FILE.tex
			</pre>
			The output will be in a directory called FILE which you can then view with your browser! Good luck!

-As you are most likely installing the script on a workstation where you do not have root access, you need to slightly deviate from the instructions in the INSTALL file. The first change is to the file '''pstoimg.pin'''. When converting from pmn to png, the latex2html script tells the converter to use a transparent background colour of 'gray85'.
