Re: [dev] question about writer2latex

2007-11-19 Thread Zvi Har'El
Hi,


Writer2latex is also responsible to the xhtml export from OOo writer.
Writer2latex has fixed many bugs, e.g, current xhtml export doesn't
generate footnotes and endnotes, and Writer2later 0.5 when doing xhtml
export handles footnotes and endnotes correclty. I have installed
Writer2latex 0.5 as an export plugin in OOo 2.3 and it satisfies all my
needs, but I am certain there should be give na high priority in
updating the default version.


Best,


Zvi.

Hi,


I am new to this list.  As you see from my signature, I am a
mathematician by education, but also a computer hacker with 25 years
experience. As an advocate of open source software, I have been using
OOo from day one, and have a lot of experience with it. Now that I have
started to be involved in open access journal publishing,  I  am using
OOo as the main publishing tool. I have met several problems in the OOo
Writer export filters, and entered a bug report in the the issue data
base, at <http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=83346>. I have
proceeded in pursuing this issue, and got the feeling I am talking to
myself! I also made a suggestion how to fix the defect, but the issue is
still in the unconfirmed status. My experience with other open source
development communities, like Mozilla (Firefox, Thunderbird, Calendar
project), was quite different. Is there anything I can do to improve the
situation? Perhaps discussing the issues in this forum may help? I tried
to subscribe to the users mailing list but noticed it is certainly wrong
for discussing defects.


Best,

Zvi.
