that would probably be possible. but of course using this approach an exported file won't necessarily look like the input file. but perhaps it is good enough. > Surely the list of of styles used by the document is not too difficult to > list ? > And surely I could re-use the existing HTML filter code that generates > the elements in a new filter package ? > I'd find this really useful and interesting to do . Any tips on what > to look at to get me started ? in Writer there are actually 2 HTML filters. the original HTML filter is in sw/source/filter/html, and uses the hard-coded formatting tags. there is also an XHTML filter in filter/source/xslt/odf2xhtml/ this is only an export filter (no import), so in the UI you don't get it in File->Save..., you have to use File->Export... i'm not familiar with the XHTML export filter; i just know it's implemented via XSLT, taking an ODF file as input (so it should be able to access all the styles). perhaps it does a better job already of exporting styles. you should try it out... -- "When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a thumb." -- Steven M.
