We have support for what is supposedly the LaTeX syntax (as can be seen in the latex manual): one required arguments and some optional ones containing text. If you think about it, this is the syntax that maps best to a html type format. I do not think one is supposed to put document contents inside the html tags arguments like <foo importanttext="this is the title">bar</foo> Likewise, we do not support every weird syntax where elements of text are in keyval-based argument or enclosed in strange characters. I understand it would be nice to support every weird syntax invented by class authors, but this is a difficult goal. Supposedly, if latex3 ever comes out, it should have a clearer syntax and it will be possible to think calmly about what to do. JMarc
