[tex4ht] exerquiz problems

In this particular example, exerquiz_exx.tex, I've found a following 
issue:


Vztah~(\ref{eq:cross_section_annihilation}) dává číselnou hodnotu
\begin{displaymath}
   \label{eq:cross_section_value}
   \sigma
   =\frac{4\pi\left(\frac{1}{137}\right)^2\left(0{,}197~\gev\cdot\mathrm{fm}\right)^2}{3s}
   \doteq 8{,}66\cdot 10^{-6}\frac{1}{s~[\gev^2]}~\mathrm{fm}^2
   % = 2{,}232\cdot 10^{-5}~\gev^{-2} = \\
   % & = 2{,}232\cdot 10^{-5}\times 0{,}197^2~\mathrm{fm}^2 = 8{,}7\cdot
   % 10^{-7}~\mathrm{fm}\nonumber
\end{displaymath}

The issue is with the \label command. It compiles correctly when I 
remove it. I think the issue is that displaymath is internally 
equation*, which is unnumbered and it cannot produce a number in \ref 
anyway. 

There must be something else going on though, because when I try a 
following MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{displaymath}
   a=b
   \label{ahoj}
\end{displaymath}

Ref: \ref{ahoj}
\end{document}

it compiles without errors. It even produces hyperlinks, just the 
hyperlink produced by \ref is empty, so you cannot click on it. 

So there is something going on, but it would be best to remove the 
\label from this displaymath, as it is not useful anyway. You even don't 
reference it anywhere.

I could compile the sample file using:

make4ht -f html5+dvisvgm_hashes -m draft -c split.cfg -a debug exerquiz_exx.tex "svg,2,fn-in"

The `-f html5+dvisvgm_hashes` option can significantly speed up the 
compilation, because it reuses math images. 

I've also introduced `svg` and `fn-in` options, the first one requires 
SVG images, the second puts footnotes at the end of the chapter where 
they were used, instead of standalone files.

Other than that, I can see only one issue regarding validity of the 
produced HTML files, there is spurious `</form>` element in the lasth 
HTML file. I need to investigate where it comes from. 

Best regards,
