issues

1. verb does not show up. Example this file verb_issue/verb_issue.tex

   \documentclass[12pt]{article}
   \usepackage{html}
   \usepackage{verbatim}
   \begin{document}
   \verb|test|
   \end{document}
   

   produces this page verb_issue/verb_issue.htm command used is

   latex2html -debug -verbosity 10 verb_issue.tex &> command_screen_output.txt
   

   Here is the screen output verb_issue/command_screen_output.txt

   Here is zip file that contains the folder and everything in it for this issue verb_issue.zip

2. when using verbatim with table that has math in it

   When I run this

   %\documentclass[12pt]{article}
   %\usepackage{html}
   %\usepackage{verbatim}
   %\begin{document}
   %
   %\begin{verbatim}
   %test
   %\end{verbatim}
   %
   %\begin{tabular}{|l | }
   %$f(x) = x^3 d$\\
   %\end{tabular}
   %\end{document}
   

   It works. Expected output. Verbatim displays 'test' and the math shows up.

   But I add '+' to the equation above, like this verb_with_math_issue/verb_with_math_issue.tex

   %\documentclass[12pt]{article}
   %\usepackage{html}
   %\usepackage{verbatim}
   %\begin{document}
   %
   %\begin{verbatim}
   %test
   %\end{verbatim}
   %
   %\begin{tabular}{|l | }
   %$f(x) = x^3 + d$
   %\end{tabular}
   %\end{document}
   

   Then I lose the verbatim! Here is the generated html page verb_with_math_issue/verb_with_math_issue.htm and in addition, the verbatim 'test' is replaced by the math as verbatim.

   Here is the screen output for the above file verb_with_math_issue/command_screen_output.txt

   Here is zip file that contains the folder and everything in it for this issue verb_with_math_issue.zip
