# This script attempts to work around some of the more bizarre and
# quirky behaviours of htlatex.
#
# - We've persuaded htlatex to produce UTF-8, which unfortunately
#   causes it to use huge character sequences to represent even the
#   safe 7-bit ASCII subset of UTF-8.  We fix that up.
#
# - BUT we have to treat angle brackets (for example, redirections in
#   shell script snippets) specially, otherwise they'll break the
#   generated HTML.  (Reported by Johannes Hoff.)
#
# - For some reason, htlatex gives a unique ID to each fancyvrb
#   environment, which makes writing a sane, small CSS stylesheet
#   impossible.  We squish all those IDs down to nothing.
