Re: [libreoffice-users] Save as html file

Did you zip up the html file and the subdirectory containing the images 
as one operation?  And did your settings also save the relative path of 
the subdirectory?

If you zipped the html file, and then went to the subdirectory and 
zipped the files there (even into the same zip file), the zip file would 
then not have the relative relationship info needed.  The same failure 
would happen if you zipped it all at once, but had the setting to save 
the relative path turned off.
