HTMLZ Output

Mamaijee · 11-06-2011, 11:59 AM

I follow every update of Calibre hopeful that one will have a direct HTML output. Why are the HTML conversions in zip files which have to be unzipped and then each "index" file renamed with correct file name?

The problem with HTML is that is rarely a single file as there are very frequently associated files such as images, css etc. Since Calibre can only store one file for a given format this is why it puts HTML books into a ZIP file.

Thank you for the explanation.
