Hi ken,

The problem I'm trying to solve is that although Open Office has an 
(x)html export function, the html it writes is structured in a way that 
makes it hard to embed the document into a larger web page. I.e. it's ok 
if you just want to put a single document on a website with a link to 
it, but not so good if you want that document to be part of a bigger 
page including things like a site banner, navigation menus, standard 
fonts and colours etc.

I'm thinking at the moment that I'm going to have a go at writing a 
script in python to parse an odt (open document text) file, which is 
just compressed xml, and turn this into the sort of html that I want.
