Hi Michael - Thanks for responding - RE: > Writer's internal representation of styles is quite different from CSS, so > this is not easily possible.
Well, leaving the existing HTML filters aside, I'd still like to write a filter that does: o for every "style" that is used by a document: write CSS style definitions to a header '<style../>' element o emits HTML elements without ANY style attributes (no <FONT> tags either) and uses ONLY that CSS Surely the list of of styles used by the document is not too difficult to list ? And surely I could re-use the existing HTML filter code that generates the elements in a new filter package ? I'd find this really useful and interesting to do . Any tips on what to look at to get me started ?
