What were you trying to do?
Converting a LaTeX document to HTML using latex2html from infoagents locker.
I have tried Solaris, Linux and Irix. All have the same problem.
What's wrong:
The references won't appear at all in the "Bibliography" section, and
the reference markers won't be replaced by numbers.
What should have happened:
When I use a modified version of latex2html, I get the desired result. I
applied this patch:
10817c10817
< return(@_) if (making_title);
---
> # return(@_) if (making_title);
to latex2html and it works perfectly. Since "making_title" is not a valid
variable name in Perl (does not start with "$", "@" or "%") and is not
referenced elsewhere, I assumed this line could be safely removed.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
