The Web wizard exports a set of documents as html with an index and some very nice styles from the last century. These days you wouldn't publish documents on the internet like this, there are much better options. I suggest to remove the web wizard completely. Note: This is not about removing the ability to edit or export html.
per Design/UX meeting 2016-05-20 Agree it should probably go (and free crud from the gallery).
Plus, the wizard crashes when the style is a frameset. And I doubt if this wizard would be in-scope, if it works well and fit some requirements. It's better realized as user extension.
It looks like File > Export > HTML (Impress and Draw) incorporate parts of the web page wizard.
I'd like to state that XHTML export for Writer (text documents) and Calc (spreadsheets) are indeed important features for LibreOffice and must be preserved.

Why? Do you want to create an HTML page with Writer? Is the export of presentation to HTML (with variable sizes; bug 66259) really crucial for LibreOffice? And if you say yes, where is the limit meaning yes or no to a structured data like XML?
Heiko, * Please don't confuse the HTML 4.0 Web Wizard with the rather more functional XSLT based filter export for converting ODF to XHTML. The XSLT filters are functional and need to remain and maintained. Just the HTML wizard as here should go. =-ref-= http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/filter/source/xslt
Draw/Impress has File > Export > Html which leads to the ancient wizard with some limitations (bug 66259). The design team recommends to drop this wizard and make the html export like any other export function, i.e. one (successively numbered) document per slide with images in the original size and no cropping. Notes and comments are not exported. Everything else from the wizard is obsolete. It was also recommended to clean up the filters (export, save behave differently). This ticket could be an easyhack. Another, more general issue about what slides to export requires a dialog which goes into another ticket. It's suggested to use svg for users who want to show a presentation in the browser.
Please add skill<foo> difficulty<foo> as well as a code pointer.

Sorry but you are confusing two different things. This is about the Writer web wizard, I even created a patch to remove it: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/26381/ Please file a different bug for the impress one.
Patch is here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/26381/ Need to reach consensus whether we really want to remove it or not. Jan abondened it.

Jan > abondened it. Just to be clear, I only abandoned it as part of the regular gerrit cleanup, because it had a comment "IMHO, it may be dropped and if someone wants to maintain it as an extension, this person can retrieve the code in git history." I have no opinion on whether or not this patch is ok or not.
(In reply to Samuel Mehrbrodt (CIB) from comment #10) > Need to reach consensus whether we really want to remove it or not. You mean consensus beyond the design team? We discussed the issue and decided to remove the wizard. This result was communicated via minutes and nobody complained.
Samuel: would it be possible you submit your patch on Gerrit? I mean if it's ok to drop it, let's do it and avoid some new bugtrackers related to this.
