[Nasser M. Abbasi]

fyi,

I think there is a bug somewhere.  Please see

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/232395/why-tex4ht-generate-funny-looking-extra-characters-when-using-usepackagecprote

extra strange characters are generated in HTML

MWE:

--------------------------------
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{cprotect}
\begin{document}
\cprotect\fbox
{
\begin{minipage}[t]{\textwidth}
  This is a test
\end{minipage}
}
\end{document}
