Hi Martin,

Perhaps what you need is a systematic solution, instead of a brace such
as proposed.

If the work-flow of your writing generated a set of header / text body
sections, then a script could do the work of generating html and pdf
bodies based on templates. You'd then just need some editorial time to
put in the images.

I think the best solutions are going to be ones that involve the
workflow improving, speeding up and becoming more structured, so html
can be a natural output, instead of an add on extra.
  
I agree with the basics of what you're saying, but unfortunately it's not a case of copy/paste an article in to Scribus or to an HTML page. I wish it was!  :D

Articles are pasted to a wiki where they can be proof-read and edited, from there they'll land in the Scribus template, but sometimes more (short) edits must be done to make the story fit the page(s) so the Scribus/PDF article can sometimes be slightly different from the HTML/wiki article. Some times it's no big deal, sometimes it can mean an entire paragraph/two being lobbed off.

Effectively we have all the issues as HTML, but in a wiki and no-one wants to take on the job of putting in the images. They'd need to be in the right places with possibly pointers (above left, below right etc.) and, obviously, have a nice layout.

Also I can't dedicate any more time to the project, it already takes up several weekends each month, every month, so I can't really alter my work-flow too much...
