Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Hi :)

When saving a document in html format it uses old-style and soon-to-be-out-dated tags, attributes and almost everything. For example tags such as <B></B> instead of <strong></strong> and <BR> instead of <br />. Tags should be in lower-case for the move to html5. Also tags such as <FONT></FONT> are being phased out completely to be replaced by elements within <p></p>.
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/deprecated.htm
For a list of tags and things that are being phased out this list
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp
shows which are "deprecated".

Expected behaviour: OpenOffice (well, really LibreOffice now) would save things in an up-to-date format that is "future proof"

To replicate the behaviour:
1. Open any document in Open/LibreOffice
2. Go up to the "File" menu
3. "Save As" and use the drop-down menu to save as html

Many thanks and regards from
Tom

PS Obviously this was not a problem for me as i was able to find&replace elements with correct modern elements.
