Thanks. I understand now.
What I should have said was that -log2html-
has the aim of a straight translation from SMCL to HTML,
among other things rendering continuation lines faithfully.
Nowhere, I believe, does it claim that it will recombine
what Stata split into multiple lines, i.e. reverse the
formation of continuation lines.
You need a text editor (for one-off changes) or a
post-processor (for routine work) to do this.
