AFAIRemember, xmltopdf() has some issue, so i use now PDF Creator applied the HTML.
To illustrate the whole page setting and rendering, PDF does not need to be zipped,
whereas HTML needs it to include css dependencies etc.

Anyway, the rendering of the HTML (zipped in the .jar) through the Scilab helpbrowser
is limited wrt the true HTML as it appears in web browsers: Many attributes or style
values are well built but are not rendered... But this is another thread.

Samuel
