Issue converting EPUBs to HTML

[wolf123]

Hi!

I am struggling with the conversion epub -> html.

When I run: $ ebook-convert file.epub file.html --extract-to test/
I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ebook-convert", line 20, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks/conversion/cli.py", line 362, in main
    parser, plumber = create_option_parser(args, log)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks/conversion/cli.py", line 320, in create_option_parser
    plumber = Plumber(input, output, log, reporter)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks/conversion/plumber.py", line 755, in __init__
    raise ValueError('No plugin to handle output format: '+output_fmt)
ValueError: No plugin to handle output format: html

Ideally, I would like to get multiple html files in my test/ folder.

Is this possible? What am I getting wrong?

I am on Debian 10, Calibre 3.39.1.

Thank you!!

use file.zip not file.html

or just a name without an extension in which case the conversion will happen into directory if that name. Or convert to epub and run unzip file.epub
