Review request for Calligra.


Changes
-------

This is the second version of the EPUB 2.0.1 export filter.

We have fixed all the issues that Zagge pointed out with one exception:
 - We don't convert images to supported formats yet.
For bitmaps this should perhaps not be such a big thing since QImage should be able to do it for us. But for vector images it's a big project. It is something we want to do but I don't think it should be necessary for a first version.

We have also added some new features:
 - Support for links
 - Support for lists with numbers and bullets

And a couple of bugfixes and enhancements:
 - Ignore unrecognized tags in the odt
 - Don't let unrecognized tags disturb the conversion
 - Support for breaking up an ebook into chapters.


Description
-------

This patch adds support for EPUB 2.0.1, the standard format for ebooks. The current standard is version 3.0 but that is a much more extensive standard and we have to start somewhere.

Features:
 - Text with extensive formatting
 - Tables, even tables in tables
 - Pictures
 - Breaking into different html files (chapters) by having a break-before on a paragraph style.

The support is of course not perfect yet but the current state seems to be useful and it looks like a good point to get it to master so that more people can help out.

Testing
-------

We have a number of test files and the attached file contains all the features that are supported. We have also used the EPUB validator a lot. That can be found at http://validator.idpf.org/. 


Thanks,
