I've been using ansi2html for years. On my Gentoo Linux, I upgraded and noticed a different behavior. Previously if I redirected output a full HTML page with Doctype declaration and tags was generated. Now, only inline elements are generated. The result is that the HTML does not render nicely. If I add the HTML and head and closing content, then the lines render without the white line artifact as before. I examined the HTML and there is definitely missing the <DOCTYPE>..., <html>, <head>... </head>,<body>, </body> </html> tags; it is as if the --inline command line option has become the default behavior.
HTML created under previous version with no artifacts of white lines between lines:

HTML created under current version 1.8.0-r3 which shows white line artifacts in between lines:
I can provide more write-up and the actual files if the behavior of excluding the front and back matter is be design. The commands I used were very simple, I do not recall or have documented in notes using any command options:
cat myfile |ans2html >myfile.html
I wanted to make sure that I did not work up this Issue only to learn that there was a decided change of default behavior to not include the surrounding tags which includes CSS style information. Here's a sample of the previously generated output:
