Hi Anton,

I wonder if it might be worth commenting out the .RP and see if html
generation works?  It appears to be influencing the initial macros
which might be conflicting with html.

Ultimately the RP macro could be fixed to return early should html be
present.  Or should be hack above work you could use:

  .if !'\*(.T'html'  .RP
