Please note:
1) 1 problem = 1 issue. We cannot handle multiple problems issues. Thus
-> INVALID
2) Unfortunately, we have no ressource available to fix or improve the HTML
component, so that we only can fix crashes and huge regressions.
Thank you for your comprehension.

This issue is now considered CLOSED by the IssueZilla folk.
In view of the serious problems reported, see below, should the HTML
component no be withdrawn from Beta 2 until there are capable volunteers
available?

I have an .odt file from which I can export an adequate .pdf
The .html which is produced by SaveAs is in poor shape.
There doesn't seem to be a way of attaching a file and so a copy of
the W3C validation file, which reports 61 errors, is below.

You have used an illegal character in your text. HTML uses the
standard
UNICODE Consortium character repertoire, and it leaves undefined (among
others)
65 character codes (0 to 31 inclusive and 127 to 159 inclusive) that are
sometimes used for typographical quote marks and similar in proprietary
character sets. The validator has found one of these undefined characters in
your document. The character may appear on your browser as a curly
quote, or a
trademark symbol, or some other fancy glyph; on a different computer,
however,
it will likely appear as a completely different character, or nothing at
all.
Your best bet is to replace the character with the nearest equivalent
ASCII character, or to use an appropriate character entity. For more
information
on Character Encoding on the web, see Alan Flavell's excellent HTML
Character
Set Issues reference.
This error can also be triggered by formatting characters embedded in
documents by some word processors. If you use a word processor to edit
your HTML
documents, be sure to use the "Save as ASCII" or similar command to save the
document without formatting information.

11. Error Line 16 column 7: required attribute "TYPE" not specified.
<STYLE>
The attribute given above is required for an element that you've
used, but
you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the
"type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt"
attribute is
required for the "img" element.
Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and
type="text/javascript" for <script>.
✉

<P ALIGN=CENTER><SDFIELD TYPE=DOCINFO SUBTYPE=TITLE>PyMatrix
Guide</SDFIELD><..
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the
document
type you are using does not support that attribute for this element.
This error
is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a
document
that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to
get the
"target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as
"marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the
desired effect
instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported
in the
document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported
attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for
further
information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both
allowed in
the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

You have used the element named above in your document, but the
document
type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error
is often
caused by:
* incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document
that
uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the
"<frameset>" element),
* by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or
"<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired
effect
instead).
* by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and
elements

25. Error Line 113 column 16: an attribute value must be a literal
unless it
contains only name characters.
<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=0>
You have used a character that is not considered a "name
character" in an
attribute value. Which characters are considered "name characters" varies
between the different document types, but a good rule of thumb is that
unless
the value contains only lower or upper case letters in the range a-z you
must
put quotation marks around the value. In fact, unless you have extreme
file size
requirements it is a very very good idea to always put quote marks
around your
attribute values. It is never wrong to do so, and very often it is
absolutely
necessary.

Most likely, You nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For
example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>.
Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>
Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a
child
element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not
finished",
not complete. For instance, <head> generally requires a <title>, lists
(ul, ol,
dl) require list items (li, or dt, dd), and so on.
