you're perfectly right, vlada! the goal, for the plugin i'm creating, is to produce an epub file containing the content you've put in a .sla. the plugin tries to keep the order of the text and pictures, keeps the meaningful formatting (bold, italics, style names ...) and resizes the images to something usable on a ereader's screen. the created epub file is usable as is, but you should use a tool like sigil to make it nicer. ciao a.l.e
