Hi :) Sorry! 2 waggle-the-wires 'answers'. Have you tried getting to the libreoffice splash-screen (ie with no documents open) and then dragging the html file into the grey area where a document would normally be showing? Also have you tried using File - Open and then navigated to the html file

Hello, It looks like the problem is with LibreOffice interpreting DOCTYPEs. You see, every HTML is supposed to have a DOCTYPE at the top of the file, explaining what version of HTML (HTML5, HTML4.01, etc) the file uses. The file you uploaded has a DOCTYPE of HTML4.01 Transitional.

I would say yes to that. Since LO seems to be used as a web editor - i.e. LibreOffice Writer/Web options - we should not need to remove the DOCTYPE tag from the HTML files to get it to work. On 02/05/2014 10:59 AM, null wrote: Hello, It looks like the problem is with LibreOffice

To edit HTML files, I tend to use Kompozer, an WYSIWYG HTML editor, or just a plain text editor. On 02/05/2014 02:45 PM, Mark Bourne wrote: Uploading the document to the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/) it appears the DOCTYPE is not valid. It should be: -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0

Hello, I just discovered something. If the DOCTYPE of the HTML file is not the topmost line (line 1), LibreOffice renders the file fine (instead of showing the source). However, If there is a blank line before the DOCTYPE (like the HTML file Keith uploaded), the HTML parser is tripped

Hello, In LibreOffice 4.2, there is an option under the View menu in LibreOffice Writer/Web labeled HTML Source. Be sure that that item is unchecked. Also, if that doesn't fix the problem, try going into LibreOffice, selecting FileNewHTML Document, and once in Writer/Web, go to FileOpen
