This only works with a recent LibreOffice version (3.3 or 3.4). With this
working there's no reason we cannot make this a group-effort. I'll try to
put it on Github tomorrow after I have cleaned it up a bit.
No problem, when you get time.
Hi Lex,
I did not finish the stylesheet-cleanup, but I did make the backend more
feature complete, adding footnote and reference support among others.
There are a few issues that I don't know how to tackle at this point:
- Table support is constructed differently from HTML and I have no idea
how to make it do the necessary
- ODT is newline-agnostic, which means that in order to get newlines in
"preformatted" text (eg listing blocks) those newlines need to be
converted to ODT line-breaks (<text:line-break/>)
- Some of the footnote/reference construct seem to be correct, but fail
to find the source id in LibreOffice, looked at that one for too long
;-)
- Admonition tables do not get the styles applied that I have it
configured for. Even though manually doing it in LibreOffice generates
identical code than is produced.
The default style doesn't look to great and the missing table support
cause anything having (complex) tables to generate broken ODT (since it
uses HTML output for now).
I added my CV in the examples/ directory, which works perfect with the
current backend implementation. I also added a test-odf.txt file in order
to add more complex constructs as we improve the backend.
With the fixes to support flat ODT file support, testing has become very
simple. And learning ODT from the output LibreOffice produces in our
test-document is a big advantage over reading the ODF specification :-)
