Future
Plans for Writer2xhtml 1.8
HTML5:
Enhanced support for HTML5 and CSS3 features, in order to create semantically richer documents supporting a wider range of formatting.
Improved file naming scheme when a document is split to several HTML files.
Convert drawing elements to SVG
EPUB 3:
Add more structure using “semantic inflection”.
No major new features are planned for EPUB 3. But the export will of course benefit from improvements in HTML and CSS export.
Note that since vesion 6, LibreOffice features a native EPUB export. It is expected that this over time will evolve into a suitable alternative to the EPUB export in Writer2xhtml.
Legacy formats:
Writer2xhtml supports a number of legacy formats: XHTML 1.0 strict, XHTML 1.1, XHTML 1.1+MathML and EPUB 2. Support for these formats will be removed in Writer2xhtml 1.8, leaving only the current formats HTML5 and EPUB 3.
