[Plugin] HTMLgen Output Plugin - Page 3

Hi

I make an extensive use of this so nice plugin to rebuild ePubs to my taste.

I realize I have sometimes to make a preventive work on the ePub before using the plugin.

Titles
The plugin saves all the h titles and the resulting toc. However some ebooks do not use <h> titles and use tags for this task. It's useful to preventively use a regex to change from to <h before using the plugin if not you have to rebuild manually the toc...

Italics (and bold)
The plugin saves all the (and and tags). However some ebooks do not use these tags but prefer using spans with an italic class. As this information would be lost in the html, it's useful to preventively use a regex to change on the ePub from italic span to (and bold span to ).

I do not know if something can be done for these two use cases above. If not, this post may serve as an advice to HTMLgen users.

Hi, it seems that there was a small bug.

Changes in HTMLGen v0.1.2

Fixed a small bug with python 3.x and the new Sigil 0.9.12

Regards.

Thank you for this plugin, it's been a big help so far.

It would be a nice feature if HTMLgen had an option to embedd images and fonts using base64 encoding to make these books really monolithic.
