How to convert Excel file with worksheets to tabbed html?

[didje]

I am trying to convert a .xls file containing several worksheets (the first worksheets is a table of contents with links to the other worksheets) into a .html file using the soffice utility from LibreOffice on RedHat 6.

I do as follows: soffice --invisible --convert-to html -outdir TestFile.xls

This creates TestFile.html. However the table of contents does not work in the generated .html page (the links are not generated correctly - they are changed into “./#LINKNAME”, as a result when I click on it, it looks for a file called “./#LINKNAME”). Also, all the worksheets on the generated html are displayed one below the other. Ideally, I would like to generate a html page looking similar to the original Excel file, with individual clickable tabs for each worksheet.

You could try to open the EXCEL file in Calc and save it as html-file. The result is different from export to html.

I want to run it using the command line in order to automate the process.
