latex2html Underline Equations and Formulas

I recently tried to use latex2html to export a few of my tex documents to html. I simply used

latex2html main.tex

but I ended up with a bunch of unsavory lines under all of my equations. Upon googling things a bit, I found the following solution that worked for me:

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/webpub/Eliminating_Black_Rules_Equation.html

On my mac, here's what I did:

1. search for the file alt-rule.pro (on my Mac, I opened the folder /usr and searched for it there. the file was located under: /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/dvips/config/
2. edit the file as suggested by the link above. i.e., replace
   gsave newpath   /ruleY X /ruleX X
   with
   gsave newpath
   transform round exch round exch itransform
   /ruleY X /ruleX X

and Voila!
