You really are.

Inserting stuff like this into the TeX file /may/ very easily break it,
in the sense that it does compile, but /looks/ different (read: has
different line and/or page breaks) than without it.  (Though it /might/
be possible, I'm only saying that it would require much TeX expertise
and being very careful.  In fact, TeX4ht seems to do something similar
(though I never used it), so maybe I'm too pessimistic;).)
