[scribus-dev] HTML import rewritten

i skimmed through the code and it looks very clean!

i've noticed that you retain some more formatting... but it's hard to
spot what the differences are against the previous impoter...

do you have a list of feature you have implemented?
a list of bugs that your plugin fixes?
some html files and pdf showing the difference?

i did a short test and your plugin seems to work correctly so,
basically, once the its advantages are clear, i'm for its inclusion in
1.5svn (and probably also in 1.4.2svn, except if it brings changes that
could "harm" existing workflows):


but: while going through your plugin i noticed that it does not have my
patch for images embedded in the html file (which are typical for html
files created by open/libreoffice)

http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11015

i understand that you have changed so many changes that a diff does not
really make sense, but now we have the "problem" that it's harder to
check if all old features/behaviors are still in :-)

i think that we are very interested in getting your improvements!

do you have a list of things you have already done or plan to do?

have a nice day!
