I will try it one last time, although others already have given up.

Where is this coming from? I have a normal job like most people with a fixed income. If I want certain software, I save money for it. Just like with anything else I like to have. The price has nothing to do with its function.

Learning a new system is just not in the cards.

That is all fine, but then don't start to learn how to make ePUB. Learning is required, even if you don't think it should. You cannot expect other people to remove the learning curve from you, just because you think they should. Either you put in some effort and try, or you don't. After all, someone with your programming experience should have no problems with this simple stuff (and it is simple stuff).

Again, not trivial. Which HTML file? There can be a lot of those in the ePUB. Also, what would be solved with it. You other thread where you describe your issues an autosave WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED.
Autosave of the HTML will help you nothing, as it is only a building block. Do you scream 'autosave' to Microsoft (or OpenOffice) because chapters are not autosaved, but the whole document? Were are talking about ePUB here, not about HTML. And, like Hitch said, how about the images, stylesheets and so on?

I am not a fan of complicity, but being a part-time programmer I know this is more than just a trivial task.
