Plucker has always provided tools to turn a Plucker document back into HTML. Granted the HTML it produces isn't the "original" HTML (thats impossible to create), but it is the same exact HTML that you would see in the Plucker document when converted. Perhaps you should use those (assuming the ebook isn't protected with an OwnerID set in the Plucker document, of course).

How do I take a TomeRaider and convert it to another format? What about OEB? What about OpenReader? MobiPocket? What about other formats? You can't. (I've got some tools that convert some of these, but it isn't publically distributed).

Plucker's rich format supports a lot more than XHTML or text formats can. With the features proposed for Plucker 2.0, that is even extended further. The format is open, and can be turned back into HTML if you wish.

Use whatever works for your needs. For many, that happens to be Plucker. For other authors and companies, other formats suit their needs.
