[OS X TeX] TeXShop 5.01 - html generation demo not working

[Richard Koch]

Murray,

I ran into this problem too. I bet you copied tthe Demo folder and gave it a title with a space. Remove the space.

I thought about adding this warning to the document, but every little extra makes it harder to read. Leaving out the warning turns out to have been a mistake, and I'll put it back in the next time.
