For now, the goal was to be able to at least salvage the text portion of a .imp if the user "leaves" the .imp platform behind.
I doubt that I will be able to get the original html "look" since it is not stored in the .imp file. Only the basic components are, like a record that tells you where all the font/styles changes are located in the file, another record indicates where to end the line so that it doesn't spill over the screen size of that .imp and other records that stores the images, hyperlinks used, etc.
Basically all the building blocks are there (scattered) and it would not be trivial to reassemble the .html! Possible, but would be like reverse-engineering everything.
This is the next best thing for now.
Later, I wouldn't mind doing something along the lines of an Impperl suite of programs
ala Mobiperl. Until now no programs have been able to extract any information from .imp files, so this is the begininng of the journey....
