Hi, Gary,

This may seem a cock-eyed recommendation, but I would suggest you take a look at The Journal:

http://www.davidrm.com/thejournal/

It is a very robust writing environment that allows you to create many different notebooks (which are each hierarchical databases of RTF-style documents), residing under specific categories (including, but not limited to, dated entries—hence the name). So, for instance, you can create a category for a specific writing project, create one notebook for your notes, another for chapters.

Within each entry, you can mark text to a specific topic… which works somewhat like keywording… multiple topics can be assigned to any entry, but specific text within an entry can only have one topic. You can embed images into any entry. And you can export any single entry or a group of entries to an HTML file, which will include any images you’ve included. The HTML export isn’t particularly sophisticated, but it works.

Anyway, that’s just a suggestion. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t think of any application that provides keywording, image support and HTML export. Have you contacted Bitsmith to see if they’re planning an update of PK that would include these features? Seems like a natural next step for them.
