Well I’ve noticed in the past that bugs regarding the HTML filter received very little attention, unfortunately. If not the existing import filter, are there efforts to implement alternatives?

In *my* honest opinion, I do quite need that feature 😉

Unfortunately, while I’m very comfortable with C++ and Linux etc, LO seems like a magnificent beast of code and I am unable to judge whether I’d be useful tackling these issues myself. It would be great to find whoever knows the code to discuss…
