Bug ID: 147392 Summary: eBooks: improve html output (e.g. minimize numer of tags and style declarations) Product: LibreOffice Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: greenandpleasant2000-supp...@yahoo.co.uk Created attachment 178240 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=178240&action=edit Writer file used to generate an epub doc. Version: 7.1.5.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 85f04e9f809797b8199d13c421bd8a2b025d52b5 CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded ISSUE Although LO Writer is capable of producing epub books, the html code seems to be inefficient, with multiple classes used for the same type of paragraph; headings changed to paragraphs; and span tags used to indicate italics or emphasis in text (rather than the appropriate <i></i> or <em></em> tags. TO DEMONSTRATE 1. Open the attached Writer file. Create an epub. 2. Open the epub with the CALIBRE Editor and inspect the html / css. Points to note: 1. Headings are translated to paragraph styles. Why not simply translate a heading into the html equivalent: h1, h2, h3 etc.? 2. The text is littered with unnecessary span tags. Why not simply use <i></i> and <em></em> tags? 3. There is an empty span style in the style sheet! 4. There are two paragraph styles in the css where only one exists in the Writer file. Could the html be simplified? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
