For some reason, emph does not work with latex2html . Hence, there is a small macro that generally does the job for me:
\newcommand{\italics}[1]{
\latexhtml{\emph{#1}}{\begin{rawhtml} <i> \end{rawhtml} #1 \begin{rawhtml} </i> \end{rawhtml}}
}
Now I can use
\italics{Anything I want}
quite liberally. Also, since
it uses
latexhtml
, I can compile it using
latex
alone too (necessary to obtain
cross references.)
