--- Comment #4 from orcmid <[email protected]> 2012-02-23 23:56:18 UTC --- I did some experimentation with a Writer document that used default tabbing in its layout. I have confirmed Regina's observation with the following details: Writer does not preserve layout produced by tabbing when it saves a document as HTML. The reporter is also correct that Microsoft Office Word does preserve such layout, and that layout (along with many other features of the original document) is also recovered when such an HTML document is re-opened in Microsoft Office Word. (For this experiment, I opened the original ODT in Word 2010 and saved it as a single HTML document from there.) The layout in [X]HTML is accomplished using CSS styling and special spans containing literal spaces. The correct recovery as a Microsoft Office docuemnt is aided by special-purpose comments embedded in the [X]HTML that depend on details specific to Microsoft Office. It is interesting that the tabbed layout will also be preserved if the Word-produced HTML is opened in OpenOffice Writer. The layout is not recovered as the result of tabbing however. That is not to be expected, of course. There are other peculiarities when Writer opens such an HTML. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
