Right; maybe the script could be called with the input file and the output file as parameters? This way it could also easily extract the images stored in the source document [needed for serious HTML export]. That was one scenario I envisaged. Post-processing is also probably needed to emulate Melle...

That should be extremely easy to do in xslt. Are you sure that the markup you mentioned is enough though? What about headings — that's useful semantic information I assume you don't want to lose. Similarly, what do you do when you hit tables and lists? Then again, maybe I'm missing your point, since...

I agree. I think the first cut could be a little more fully featured with minimal extra effort if it were to run a export script (which could then call the xslt/whatever) rather than the xslt directly — that way you could run pre- and post-processing scripts without any further complication on the p...

So, I'm still working away on my Mellel -> HTML XSLT. At the moment, I'm working on adding support for numbering styles in notes and note references which aren't natively supported by xsltproc, namely: asterisk, symbol, hebrew, arabic-indic, persian, greek, and greek-academy. Arabic-indic and Greek-...

Yeah, there's been a lot of requests for that. It seems that it is on the Redlers' radar though, although quite what its priority is is a bit unclear.

Is that a bad thing? RTF import/export was always much better anyway.

I could just output them as normal paragraphs, I suppose. What do people think? I wonder what you are 'supposed' to do in HTML. Apparently there's a caption tag for tables, but not for images. You're quite right . I had forgotten about that. You can use figure auto-titles with either in Mellel, or ...

This is fantastic, really. Thank you! The exported files look absolutely great. It's really cool that auto-title level 1 gets mapped to h1, level 2 to h2 etc. I thought it was pretty neat (semantic even!), although I haven't implemented numbering for them yet… A question: in a test I did, auto-titl...

Hopefully the Redlers will integrate something like that into their Export option (though I hope for a separate CSS file). As long as they do not publish a Schema or so, they will be the ones who know the format the best. Indeed. A schema/DTD/whatever would be nice... I'm also hoping for a nice ext...

Steven, great effort, thanks. I tried it with a table loaden document, works fine, some cells are not rendered correctly, pictures loose their path. But really good. I hope you go on that way... Maria It's good to hear someone likes it. :) I certainly intend to keep going with it. Re. cell renderin...

Well, I'm at the stage where I'd kind of like some feedback, so I've whacked together an Applescript to make running an XSLT a little easier, and zipped it up with the latest version of my HTML exporter. They can be found here . If you run the Applescript it will prompt you in turn for three things:...

The xml file can be quite large, also for very simple document, and it can take quite some time to open it in a text editor. On my iBook G4 1.33 MHz 700 MB it took about 50 seconds to open a simple Mellel document in Smultron. (I guess it has something to do with the fact that the xml document more...
