Close. You see, LaTeX2HTML comes with navigational icons (left
right, up and down arrows, and some other stuff like buttons), and
when creating a HTML document, pointers were put in to
/usr/share/latex2html/icons/blah -- and the problem that was to be
solved was that user should be able to see the images when saying
mozilla converted_document/index.html; and also when one moved the
converted document dir into ~/public_html/
So, LaTeX2HTML used to do this (I don't use it anymore, so I
do not know if this is still the case)
mkdir -p /var/www/usr/share/latex2html
ln -s /usr/share/latex2html/icons /var/www/usr/share/latex2html/
