Hi, hm, I'm no programmer. But if there is a LO-Extension that is able to "translate" the LO-Writer-Syntax to latex syntax (writer2latex) shouldn't it be possible that this is done automatically and than converted to PDF - in the background - while exporting to PDF?

I wondered that as well, and it's still one of the crazy ideas in my mind... though there are several problems: * it needs to break all the Writer layout code... which is quite a big spaghetti plate. * LaTeX code isn't reusable directly from C++ if I understood that correctly, but the algorithms have been reimplemented in C++ in TeXmacs, and the problem there is that this code is GPL and probably more complex to use from LGPL/MPL code -- Cedric -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
