OpenOffice.org Writer and OpenOffice.org Writer/Web are not the same thing. (OpenOffice.org Writer/Web doesn't typically have an entry point of its own in the Applications menu on Gnome. To start OpenOffice.org Writer/Web, choose File: New: HTML Document in OO.o.) Thus, my use case is not "export something from a word processor". My use case is authoring a document in an HTML editor whose GUI features exceed the features of HTML so it's easy to accidentally use a feature that injects inline CSS without asking. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
