I remember that I once read about \newcommand in a LaTeX textbook that its
arguments must not be spread across lines (may be this was a 2.09 feature
that got solved in 2e). I.e. LaTeX2HTML behaves as I would expect.
The same textbook offered a workaround using comment characters. One could do
\newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{%
\begin{HangIndent} #1%
\end{HangIndent}
as the % comments out everything until and including the EOL char.
Would this work with LaTeX2HTML?
