--- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
