Hi,

 For this, you have to implement a ProtocolHandler. The Dev's Guide
 explains how to do this.

i will send you a demo protocolhandler ...

Re: [dev] Multilanguage documents

 How is that different from implementing language specific styles in OOo?

Please don't confuse KAMI's feature-request with the stuff described
in this excerpt.
Of course you can already assign different languages to different
parts of your document
and that language will be used for spell-checking, hyphenation and
will affect things like
autocorrect/autoformat (replacement of typographic quotes for example)
- if you choose
the language none, no spell-checking, hyphenation is performed.

But this is something fundamentally different from displaying
different content depending
on what language the user uses. A french version of OpenOffice.org
would display something
different than an english version.

This could be simulated by using different sections that are hidden or
shown depending on
the language the user uses, but this would be a macro-based solution
(either by letting the
user choose, or by assigning the macro to the open document action)
- but this of course
requires the user to have macros enabled

All in all, I don't quite see the usefulness of a feature that
displays different content depending
on the language of the surrounding application, but maybe there is a
need I just don't see.

Also I don't see why a style should be language-dependent, but chances
are good, that I
just don't understand what is meant with that. (As I understand it, it
would be the opposite
compared to how OOo now works. The style determines the language that
is assigned to
the text and not the language of the text determines how it is formatted)

[dev] automatic release notes (was: [dev] REMINDER: use specification templates for specifications)

2007-11-11 Thread Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germa ny
 Note that everywhere where there is a feature-info: in the Spec. 
 abstract column of the Release Notes the process used a dirty fallback 
 Why is that fallback dirty? I don't think that everything mentioned in
 the release notes needs a full blown specification.
 
 Seconded.

/me too

 The dirty in the fall-back is that it doesn't preserve
 formatting ;-) i.e. the text written should be surrounded by pre tags,
 e.g. see i74918 in http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.3.0.html

While we are at it ... Somebody should look at those notes *before*
they're published.

It's nice to have automatisms, but as with other automatisms, there's a
need for manual post-work. In this case, IMO it's a strong need. In the
current form, which a) has a unfriendly layout b) contains semantic,
grammatical and orthographic errors c) contains duplicates, it is a
little bit of a shame, given that usually, we expect this to be a very
early reading for a lot of people, once a new version is out.

Ciao
Frank
