Thanks for the pointer, Les. After smacking the side of head a few times
the light is slowly coming on :)
Yes, a tilde is a non-breaking space. So, with
\newcommand{\path}[1]{\texttt{#1}}
I can do something like \path{\~{}/foo} and it works just fine. But, if
I use the \path{} from the url.sty file which provides some line
breaking feature (?? I really have to go check why I'm using this I
think ??) then "\" and "{}"s are printed verbatim. So, I guess I have to
use the same macro for both latex and latex2html.
Anyone have a simple solution?

Hi. I am using the url package and have some lines like:
\path{~/foo}
Without looking at the source for url I am assuming that \path is a
special form of verbatim ... whatever, this works fine for latex.
But, when I use latex2html the ~ disappears. In the manual for
latex2html it does state that you need to use ~{}, but that inserts a
visable {} in the latex output; and in latex2html both the ~ and the {}
disappear.
Hmm, looking further I see that I already changed the def of \path for
latex2html to:
\newcommand{\path}[1]{\texttt{#1}}
So, that is wrong ... I'm lost just now. Suggestions?
Oh, minor bug ... if one tries to make the html docs for latex2html the
makefile will NOT create the needed 'manual' directory. Creating it by
hand before invoking "make html" solves the problem.
