If you ask about regexpes, you may safely assume that your peers knows what backreference means. In the same way, when you ask about databases, you don't explain what SQL is.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Huge security bugs
I have been using LibreOffice and OpenOffice before it for many years and have never seen such behaviour. As for associating older files, that's an operating system function, where all files of a specific type, no matter how old, are associated with the specified app. So, if you associate XLS files, then every one of them on your computer will now be associated with LibreOffice, no matter how old. You cannot control this according to age. Jan wrote: Today in good faith I downloaded and for trial your Libre Office pack.

Save as ... html creates a content file and a whole long list of files for the images. ... Thomas I would contact Amazon technical support and ask what is the problem. It appears that they want the images in the same directory as the html files. If so, it is relatively easy to correct the html file references to the images, if a bit tedious, and move the images into the same folder. LO actual exports html in the preferred mode with the images stored in separate folder. Thank you. I am afraid, I am not following you. save the relative path of the subdirectory ... Where and how am I supposed to do that. This morning I tried to * save the Writer file as html * copy the created/indexed image files into a separate folder (like the Word procedure) * zipped both. But nowhere I can see any setting/check boxes etc. (including options - paths) where I can set a relative path ... And the uploaded zip file again gives the same error. So does the zip file created with Word for that matter. First of all, I am no expert. I have not (until just now) tried saving an odt document as an html document, and it has been a decade since I tried it (in a class) with MS Word. But I have saved web pages to my hard drive, including backup copies of the code of my own website generated by my wysiwyg editor. In all that saved code (including from the 2002 class using MS Word), the basic structure I see is a file with the .html extension and a subdirectory with the same name - except that the .html is replaced with _files. Inside that subdirectory are all the other files (gif, jpg, css, ..) that are part of that webpage. So the result looks something like this: \website_test -parent directory test_page_files -subdirectory with files used by the .html file test_page.html -html file To archive that into a .zip file, you open your archive program, go to the \website_test directory, and add both the .html file and the subdirectory into the .zip file. (Older archiving programs I've used gave you the option of whether to remember the relative directory structure or not. That's why I asked about the settings. The program I currently use - 7zip - doesn't appear to give you a choice; it always remembers the directory structure, which is what you want.) When you look at the .html file with a text editor, you see all the code. If the .html uses a picture file called sample.jpg, then somewhere in that code you will see a reference that looks something like this: IMG SRC=test_page_files/sample.jpg NAME=graphics1 ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=350 BORDER=0BR CLEAR=LEFTBR HOWEVER, based on the test I did when starting this reply, LO Writer appears to do things somewhat differently. I opened an existing .odt file, added a picture to it, and used save as to save it to test_page.odt. Then I used save as again to save it to test_page.html. It DID NOT create the structure I've always seen elsewhere and which I outlined above. First, when you open the file in your browser, the formatting will not look the same as it did in LO. Second (a minor point), the .jpg gets a random 8-digit name instead of keeping the name of the original picture. But more importantly, the picture is NOT stored in a sub-directory. Instead, the name of the .html file (with underscores replacing the extension dot and trailing the html) is appended to the beginning of the .jpg name, and the .jpg file is stored in the SAME directory as the .html file. Finally, the picture is referenced in the .html file as shown here: IMG SRC=test_page_html_m6869e14e.jpg NAME=graphics1 ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=350
