Hey there
I have a simple question concerning the section element. This element
allows to set multiple columns in Writer.
I miss the information in the OpenDocument XML which tells me which text
belongs to which column. Is it somehow possible to find the
corresponding column? I need this information for my export filter.
No, that's not possible. An OpenDocument file right now does contain
only the information that text is within columns, but it does not
contain the information which text appears in which column. This is
decided by the layout engines of the office applications when they
actually display a document. Actually the places where text wraps from
one column into the next one actually depends on many factors, for
instance the font that is actually used to display the text (which may
be a different one than the one that is referenced in the document,
because that may not exist). Therefore, the position of column breaks
may vary from system to system.
Best regards
Michael
thanks
