Bug ID: 122795
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Single (CR) = double (CR) in HTML save
Product: Writer
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 8
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: save-export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
When saving a nearly plain-text HTML document in Writer, each line break is
exported as a double line break (="<P>" HTML tag.) Interestingly, Microsoft
Word (2002) uses the regular "<P>" tag, but makes it display correctly by
setting it up with what's probably a Microsoft-specific "<STYLE>" tag at the
head of the document.
Very haphazardly, I found a way to save a simple text document as HTML with
single line breaks in OpenOffice, and a half-inch first-line indent. After two
years of doing this routine every day (for every file), frankly, I'm getting a
little tired of it:
1: Open the template HTML file
2: Reset the "style" to Default (instead of "List Heading") so Writer will
display single breaks, not double breaks
3: Edit the document
4: Save as HTML (HTML Compatibility: "HTML 3.2")
5: Close the document (Required)
6: Re-open the document
7: Re-set the style to Default
8: Re-set the page formatting (first line indent, etc.)
9: Re-save as HTML (HTML Compatibility: "Internet Explorer")
Then the document displays correctly, using "<DL>"/"<DT>" and "<BR>" HTML tags.
If I should just save the document as HTML 3.2, then the first-line indent
doesn't work. I am not aware of a way to automate these steps in OpenOffice,
short of writing a macro to rewrite the HTML file before it is saved.
As a computer and microprocessor programmer myself, I can fully understand the
"bug submission" bylaws and guidelines, and if there is anything I can do to
help fix this, I would be very glad to try to help.
