--- Comment #6 from Ernest Bywater <[email protected]> ---
I just attached 4 files. 

My system recently updated to Libre Office 7.3.2.2 and that's what was used to
create the new .odt file

The four files are in two groups of an ODT file with that file saved as a HTML
file. The files with 'original' in the title are the original version of the
file which was first created years ago in Libre Office 4 or 5 or maybe earlier
and edited a lot over the years. The files with 'new' in the title were
recently created by taking the original file, saving it as a plain text file
then saving again as an ODT file and creating the various paragraph styles and
applying them.

The file 'z_layout-new.html' is what I would expect to see with every ODT that
is saved as a HTML. However, what I get is what you see in
'z_layout-original.html' in every case of a file being saved as HTML, other
than this one example.

Since I saw the comment by Dieter I wondered if the issue is related to a
change of Libre Office version. I can't rule this out as my most recent story
was started in LO 7.3.1.3 and the edits show the problem.

The text in the 'z_layout-original' from lines 118 to 121 have (with spaces
added to stop the code running:

< blockquote class = "western" >< b >Note:< / b > Due to the main character
and the narrator being Australians UK English is used < font color = "#0000ff"
>< i >< span style="font-weight: normal" >in< / span >< / i >< / font >
this story, except for dialogue by a US character where US English is
used in the dialogue and some nouns.< / blockquote >

The first iteration of that paragraph had the word 'for' which was later edited
into 'in' and the extra format code appeared with the edit. the extra format
code is NOT in the 'z_layout-new' file as going via the plain text change
removed it. However, that's a hell of a thing to do to a few hundred files
adding up to over ten million words.

While Dieter's comment makes me hope the issue may vanish when I can upgrade to
the latest version of Libre Office, which is an issue I'll cover below, I'm NOT
holding my breath on it. I am waiting to see how things go as I complete and
edit the stories I'm working on.

................

Libre Office upgrades - comment only as not an issue. Until about a year ago I
was using either a version of Windows or a version of Linux based on Debian, so
the standard downloads and upgrade routes of the latest versions from your
website worked. However, due to an issue with a new graphics card and most
Debian versions of Linux at that time I switch to using Manjaro Linux, which is
an Arch Linux based operating system, as it came with the latest AMD graphics
drivers built-in. I soon found the instructions for the RPM and DEB packages of
LO do NOT natively work on Manjaro. I have been told there is a complex work
around to get them to load, but I've not been able to do make that work for me.
Thus I now wait until the latest version of LO upgrade is made available via
the Manjaro Repository. That means I'm not always with the very latest version
of LO but am often one or two behind. Since the only issue I have with LO is
the one in this bug, I can easily live with that.
