Missing html export wizard in Impress and Draw

The 7.x getting started guide describes exporting HTML in impress with an html wizard.

  • In the 24.8 starter guide this section has disappeared. and it is indicated to export to SVG.

Likewise, LibreOffice version 24.8.3 the wizard does not appear when exporting to html and the export result is only the text of the slides.

  • If the wizard has been removed and the export to html is not complete, why does html appear as a file type in the export dialog?

If you confirm this is a bug, it must be reported in Bugzilla. I can add myself to it.

  • Because I can’t confirm if is a bug or a deprecated feature.

I checked in Release Notes:

Drop Impress/Draw’s HTML Export wizard. Exporting to HTML from the UI behaves now the same way as using --convert-to html:"impress_html_Export" from the command line, the slides being exported as a single document. tdf#105303 (Xisco Fauli, TDF)

NO he confirmado si en la Guía de Impress/Draw ya está incluido este mensaje.

This is a purposeful alteration rather than a defect. Since the HTML export wizard for Impress and Draw was eliminated, LibreOffice 24.8.x is functioning as it should.

What’s left is a very simple HTML export that mimics the command-line impress_html_Export: everything is included in a single HTML page, with little structure, largely text, no slide navigation, and no separated assets. The previous presentation-style HTML that many remember from 7.x is essentially a legacy fallback.

For compatibility and scripting purposes, HTML is still shown in the export dialog. The filter remains, but without the wizard and the “slide show as a website” feature, as removing it completely would disrupt current workflows and CLI conversions.

Additionally, the more recent documents advise you to use SVG instead. If you want a slide that is both visually authentic and web-friendly, SVG is currently the suggested option. Instead of preserving the outdated Impress HTML pipeline, the initiative is obviously pushing users into other solutions if they want interactive online presentations.

Thus, the remaining HTML export is purposefully sparse, the documents lagged a little, and they were deprecated and eliminated on purpose. Despite the poor UX, it at least clarifies the discrepancy.
