You to convert those BMPs to GIFs to make the HTML usable, as LDAO and
LDraw do not output GIFs, but you really need GIFs or JPGs to be
Web-centric.  Just run them through a converter in the directory you dumped
them to, then open the instructions/partslist pages in a browser, they
should turn out fine (though I don't like the default fonts used, and trash
that formattting right away).

OK, that's at least two people (other than me) who have used LDAO's
HTML generator.  :)

I used it - it ate itself. More accurately, I got a lot of bitmaps
and some HTML, but no usable output. I suppose I should run it again
and get a better description of the problems. You can see my version
of the instructions on my web page. But I think I'm going off paper
now (even virtual paper) in favour of animated instructions a la
the CD based models from TLG. Only my animations are in LDraw
not QuickTime because the file format is more compact.
