Well, you can make a custom HTML template and use you own XML instead
of HTML. Of course part of the elements are filled in by the export
code. If you want to modify those, you need to copy and customize
"zim/formats/html.py".

As I mentioned in the other mail, work is in progress on this item.
See the pyzim-next code tree, it has already inline code blocks with
syntax highlighting based on gtksourceview. Will take some time before
this becomes main code base, but work is progressing.

That would be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/380844


Please let me know if you want to help out speeding up the development
of any of these items. Quite some work to be done, and my time to work
on it is really limited the last month or two.
