just grabbed the HTML versions of the 2.1.1 documentation, and found a couple of rather interesting HTML tags in there:

\<character> \<cdata> \<command> \<tex2html_cross_ref_visible_mark> \<tex2html_ampersand_mark>

can/should this be fixed?

(to find the culprits, run tidy on the files, and look for Error lines. or use grep...)

Fixed the first three (\<cdata>, \<character>, and \<command>) by adding them to the table they were missing from in Doc/perl/python.perl revision 1.108.

Fixed the \<tex2html_ampersand_mark> (and protected against the same problem for \<tex2html_percent_mark>) in Doc/perl/SynopsisTable.pm revision 1.8.

The cross_ref_mark will be harder. ;-(

OK, I think the cross_ref_mark problem is a LaTeX2HTML issue; I won't spend any more time looking into it.

Marking this "Fixed" since most of this actually got fixed.
