I tried to define an \sp macro in LaTeX, to do something like this:
\def\sp{\mathsf{span}}
\[ \sp\{x\} \]
\[ x^2 \]
There is no problem with pdflatex, but evidently tex4ht uses \sp for
something special. The first formula gives a parser error in firefox,
and the second is not the simple power that it should be.
Compilation command:
htlatex test.tex "xhtml,mathml,charset=utf-8" " -cmozhtf -utf8" \
"-cvalidate" -shell-escape
It is not a big deal, since I am used to sometimes hitting macro names
which are used internally. It just breaks the ambition that every
latex doc compiles with tex4ht and is perceived as the same content by
a human reader.
