The --html option was in fact added to version 0.21; it is used to export to HTML 4.0 (as opposed to XHTML). The reason is that office suites (including Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org) can import HTML, but not XHTML. >> In fact, I don't see why eLyXer should not be the default Word >> exporter. > > We have a special export format names HTML (MS Word) that is created by > tex4ht: > > htlatex $$i 'html,word' 'symbol/!'

It would appear that htlatex also has an option to export some kind of format better suited to Word. My proposal is to use this format "HTML (MS Word)" but with eLyXer as the converter. I think it could work even better than with htlatex. If you think it's a good idea I can easily provide a patch. Alex.
