In a thread I started called "combined front end and html conversion problems", I said I left out certain things to make the post more clear. Those things are mentioned here. If you don't want to read my whining, *skip to* the last three paragraphs. 1. It was difficult to figure out how to use ConversionRules because the best documentation on how to use it is buried in an "obsolete" page that isn't included in v6 and because of the problems I mentioned in the "combined front ..." thread. 2. The Publicon documentation that ranks high in Google searches for ConversionRules doesn't work for Mathematica 6, because NoOutput (and $CellContext`NoOutput as seen in Mathematica 6's PublicationDefault.nb, AFAIK) is not defined. 3. The Mathematica 6 documentation on this subject doesn't show how to use it in a stylesheet. Here is the "obsolete" documentation for using ConversionRules (scroll down): http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/Built-inFunctions/InputAndOutput/ImportAndExport/AdditionalInformation/HTMLSave.html The obsolete documentation also mentions a way to retrieve the version 5 HTML Export/Import sources, which would have been invaluable to me early on in the process of examining the code (but not for solving the problem, since that was caused by new code). A similar release of the version 6 Export/Import code would be useful for solving the other problems I've encountered (numbered lists not being enumerated, blank bar at the bottom of the first image in a generated file) and will encounter in the future. -- http://chris.chiasson.name/
