Thanks again for Jagath's time on this to help make this feature much easier to use until a final offical support for multicol is added in tex4ht. Jagath, could you possibly prepare it as a patch to the lit/*.tex sources in the tex4ht svn repository? We need such contributions (and contributors) to the tex4ht code, so CVR doesn't have to do everything! Thanks, k
