This is understandable.

In addition, I can say that you can keep HTML source files and a project 
file for CHM and compile it on the fly. I do not know if there are 
compilers in systems other than Windows.

Ok. I consider this subject as closed.

To keep HTML clean as possible, I chose the more difficult path.

The text has been transferred by "leading technology Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V" :) 
and every HTML tag have been added manually using only the Notepad++ 
editor. The graphics have been extracted from ODF files.
Then, just create a CSS file to stylize it somehow.

It took two weeks, but it paid off. Shorter files and only basic tags.
