Are you sure that KOffice team is switching to OOo format? :) Actually, they just switched to zipped archive for xml-markuped files of a document -- the way it's implemented in OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org's content.xml is based on subset of XSL-FO. Scribus has a similar print-oriented format, but there are few things in it that make such conversion more difficult. E.g. text is being written as argument to a tag., e.g. <ITEXT CAB="0" CCOLOR="Black" CSIZE="8" CH="some text" CSHADE="100" CSTYLE="0" CFONT="Nimbus Roman No9 L Medium" CEXTRA="2"/> In the XML world it would be more appropriate to make it this way: <texttag argument="value">some text</texttag> There also are no xml declaration and no DTD. The last point really makes me frustrated. -- Alexandre Prokoudine ALT Linux Documentation Team JabberID: avp at altlinux.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
