version (actually a LaTeX2HTML bug), and clarified a sentence in the
mktime() description based entirely on comments from Grant Griffin
<grant.griffin@honeywell.com>.
\begin{funcdesc}{mktime}{tuple}
This is the inverse function of \function{localtime()}. Its argument
-is the full 9-tuple (since the dst flag is needed --- pass \code{-1}
-as the dst flag if it is unknown) which expresses the time in
+is the full 9-tuple (since the dst flag is needed; use \code{-1} as
+the dst flag if it is unknown) which expresses the time in
\emph{local} time, not UTC. It returns a floating point number, for
compatibility with \function{time()}. If the input value cannot be
represented as a valid time, \exception{OverflowError} is raised.
