Hi Rob, Jay

That's right, HTML export produce very, very bad HTML product (just try to export a white page...) and that exporting styles to a separated CSS file (or at list a separated section) would be better. Then according this option, I added this one in the whiteboard http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Analyses/Global_Options#Load.2FSave

I agree that exporting to html is not a very useful option partly because it does not (can not?) produce easily maintainable html code. The fact the code probably works is less important than that maintaining/editing the code is very difficult.

Should we ask on the users list if anyone uses export to html and if so what is their opinion?

        Hi all,

        The export-option in the options-dialog -> Load/Save ->
        HTML-compatibility states that you can save for LibreOffice
        Writer, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Looking at
        the code that states Netscape 4-compatibility.
        But has this still any value? As the browsers are for basic
        HTML compatible for some years. I think that the Netscape
        output also works in Internet Explorer.
        If it still has value then the name netscape navigator should
        change as less and less people know what Netscape is.

        This bug triggerd the question:

    Rob,

    >From the few times I exported as html, I noticed the html
    produced appeared to be fairly standard html 4.01. The main
    problem I noticed is that all the styles are embedded in the html.
    Note, I believe this is legal html, if now considered bad practice
    The export modules do not produce a CSS page. This makes the
    resulting html, IMHO, very difficult to maintain.

    You can check your html at http://validator.w3.org/

    I find I prefer to save the text as txt file then cut and then
    directly create the html page(s) and CSS pages I need.
