Hi Thomas, list, sorry for being late to the show -

We don't default to that option, since it would knowingly create substandard ODF files - we rather encourage other applications to fix their bugs. Since this is likely to be used for additional things found to cause problems, or if/when we fix additional bugs in our ODF export, simply listing the above items appeared not ideal to me. Usually it is forgotten to update help, better use a generic text. ;) Hope that explains a bit, cheers, -- Thorsten -- To unsubscribe 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/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
