init_myformat(): None of the "mark" values can be empty strings, or
LaTeX2HTML feels free to remove a surrounding element that
contains no other content. Since such an element is typically a
named anchor used for hyperlinking, they should not be removed.
Unfortunatley, making sure these marks are non-empty is the most
direct way of avoiding this behavior.
Thanks to Dave Kuhlman for tracking this down; this was some excellent
detective work!
