Yes, although "active" is a matter of interpretation.

Ok, I've fixed most of those now.  Tables still seem to generate a
couple of errors, and the validator seems overall uncertain whether to
give these pages a ringing endorsement, but it seems to work on the
manual pages.  Look for release 2.8b. 

Actually, it would help me if someone would run one of the hyperlatex
manual pages through that validator and tell me what the HTML *should*
be in order to prevent the errors you see.  A page with tables is at
hyperlatex.sourceforge.net/html/hyperlatex_29.html.

Can you send me a bit more of the file?  Like part of the bibliography
itself?  "Doesn't work" is it fails or it doesn't generate proper
HTML?

This is the sort of suggestion that prompts from me an invitation to
help.  I started improving the documentation of the hyperlatex
internals, so it should become easier for more people to contribute
who want to.
