[tex4ht] Typesetting source code and pseudo-code

[Jagath AR]

Hi George,
If you remove the option "mozilla" from the command line then the XML
syntax problem will be fixed and you can render it without any problem in
Firefox. There is some problem associated with the conversion to MathML
which need to be fixed when the "mozilla" option is used.

If you need to change the element "div" to "code", then use the following
tex4ht configuration in a separate cfg file or use the attached TeX file.

Change the command line to:
htlatex test.tex "xhtml,2,charset=utf-8" " -cmozhtf -utf8"  "-ccvalidate"

Regards
Jagath
