I am afraid that it would be really simpler for you to male your own

HTML-export procedure.

There is an event OnSaveItemToFile, but it only allows:

- for non-text items (except for list markers): to change saving completely

- for text: to change text, may be enclose it in additional HTML tags; you

cannot modify text tags which RichView saves itself.

Adding OnHTMLProcess would be not trivial. Some items are saved using

multiple

tags, some without tags at all (text of default character attributes). Some

tags do not directly belong to items (paragraph attributes, for example)
