--- Comment #53 from David Spring <[email protected]> ---
Thank you for your suggestions. I have tried dozens of options including Export
to XHTML and Elaix. I have been building websites and creating Epubs and
teaching courses in HTML since the early 1990s. Being able to use HTML to put
content on the web is important. In my opinion, LibreWriter produced very clean
HTML up until this change was made (especially compared to MS Weird). I would
like to recommend LibreWriter to my students - but embedded images are not
proper HTML. It leads to all kinds of problems not only with Epubs but with
websites and I think it is important that websites and Epubs be interchangable.
Linking images is proper HTML and works well. Libre Writer Save as HTML worked
well (not perfect but acceptable) up until someone decided that linking images
was not needed. Whoever that person was, they were wrong. Thankfully, Open
Office still works so I will just have to recommend that option until
LibreOffice Save As HTML is restored. As for Elaix, I use that tool all of the
time and have attempted to use that tool to get around the problems created by
Libre Writer. The person who claimed that works well with Libre Office 5 is
also wrong. I have spent several days this past week trying to get Elaix to
work with Libre Office 5 and it is very unstable. It crashes with complex
documents with more than 100 images. So does Writer 2 Epub. I am currently
using Elaix with Open Office 4. It works for some functions but not others.
Many functions I simply have to wait and do in Sigil. This really slows down
the process of creating complex books.   At some point, when I get more time, I
will write up a more complete description of the problems of Elaix with Libre
Office 5. But I want to make it clear that it is not accurate to say that Elaix
works well with LibreOffice 5. It does not. Finally, I do not mean to be
complaining or yelling. I am just surprised at the lack of understanding of the
need for and importance of linking and not embedding images in HTML.
