Bug ID: 163857
Summary: improper export to EPUB
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.1.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I noticed that the latest versions of LibreOffice (24.8) and earlier don't work
well in exporting to EPUB when there is more than one level of headings. I
wrote a document with two level and had to divide to chapters by page breaks
instead of headers due to this. Still, the division worked well, but then the
generated table of contents for the EPUB was mangled, with headers cut in the
middle.
Checking some further, I found that the text is saved and exported with to many
HTML tags, most of them fully redundant. It looks like whenever I correct a
typo or change even a single character, the editor adds </span><span> around
the change, although the style and everything else stay the same. This inflates
the file without adding any useful data and also comes in the way of the EPUB
formatting.
I suspect that removing the redundant tags could help with the programs
response to the user and also help in creating smaller and more efficient EPUB
files.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.created a document with two or more levels of headers, each header preceded
by a page break
2.Export to EPUB using 'divide by page breaks'
3.open in an EPUB viewer or editor - check generated table of contents
4. Use an EPUB editor to see the HTML in the text files
Actual Results:
Some heading are truncated (not all) on a large document (more than 100 pages)
Expected Results:
I expected all headers to show fully, even if flattened.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Can send actual files if needed
Noticed it on earlier versions but have no data.
