I don't know if you know about that and if you have tried, but there
is a special customization variable that sets a mode as similar as
possible with texi2html, you could try that:

  -c TEXI2HTML=1

I don't really get the <hr> and Navigation lines. Could you please point
at least to the texinfo file (and maybe the results on the web if easy)
or send the texinfo file and, either the index.html or the invocations.


The second Table of Contents that is one level deep is the short table
of contents.  Normally, it should only be triggered if you have a
@shortcontents in your source.  If you don't want a short table of
contents even with @shortcontents, I think that you can set
shortcontents to 0, like

  -c shortcontents=0

set_from_init_file ('PRE_BODY_CLOSE',
'Copyright &copy; 1988-2013
<A HREF="http://www.oarcorp.com"; target="Text Frame">OAR
Corporation</A>
');

It is the default not to have this message as in makeinfo in C.  To
enable it you shuld set the PROGRAM_NAME_IN_FOOTER customization
variable to 1.
