No it's not just you. This issue was recently discussed in bugre****t 
1928380. It really appears to be a problem of latex2html with escape 
sequences and has to be cleaned up manually.
Could someone with access to the website please run sed on the 4.2 
do***entation files and replace the #i#? I know these:
#4# vertical bar &#124;
#5# <	&lt;
#6# >	&gt;
Maybe #5# and #6# would better be translated as left and right angle 
brackets &lang; and &rang;

There may be more.

Thanks,
