[api-dev] Opening an HTML file as an OOo Writer document

[Henri Sivonen]

I'd like to open an HTML file as an OpenOffice.org Writer document 
using the Java API. I'm using the code from ConversionServlet example. 
If I open a Word file, I can save it as an OpenOffice.org Writer file 
without problems. However, it appears that an HTML file is opened as an 
OpenOffice.org Writer/Web document and OpenOffice.org Writer/Web does 
not support an sxw export filter.

Is it possible to request that an HTML file be opened as an 
OpenOffice.org Writer document? How? I can achieve the effect I want 
from the user interface by opening the HTML file in OpenOffice.org 
Writer/Web, selecting all, copying and pasting into an empty 
OpenOffice.org Writer document. If an HTML document cannot be directly 
opened as an OpenOffice.org Writer document, how do I replicate the 
effect of copying and pasting via the Java API?

The the entire process I try to carry out is opening an HTML file as an 
OpenOffice.org Writer document, replacing the style definitions with 
the style definitions of another OpenOffice.org Writer document and 
then exporting the resulting document as .sxw and .doc (perhaps all so 
as .pdf and .rtf). Can I do the style definition replacement easily 
through the API or should I copy styles.xml on the file format level?
