Bug ID: 161173
Summary: Replace built-in STW templates with OTT generated from
XML
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

There are some STW templates in LibreOffice, packaged and distributed. One of
them is share/template/common/internal/html.stw (generated using "StarOffice
6.1 BETA1 (Win32)"); it is loaded automatically when opening an HTML document
using "HTML Document" filter (not "HTML Document (Writer)").
There are some problems here. Why would we use a really obsolete file format as
a built-in template? Why would we keep it as a binary in the source, which
makes it not obvious how to change e.g. curious peculiarity that HTML documents
have first level of outline numbering unassigned to a heading paragraph style
(unlike the other levels)?
The proposal is to replace this STW with the source XML files, which would be
compiled into an OTT at build time, similar to how our other built-in templates
are created.
I hope that this could be easyhackable - but I don't know much about the actual
machinery used for our templates generated from XMLs. Heiko, could you please
advise?
