Hi,
Howdy,
I would like to know if there exists roadmap that would allow to create
a server version of libreoffice that would execute macros job on office
docs. It would mean a version not using all the interface part of
libreoffice that would be much more compact. The goal would be to
process many files using remote services or on some files to automate
some processing such as creation of html files. Is there something
foreseen? Is it totally ridiculous? Has it been done and I do not find
the correct documentation?
First - redirecting the reply email to the User mailing list (the website
ML you originally posted to is for issues regarding the LibreOffice website
not the application).
Second - LibreOffice has always had the ability to run in what is referred
to as 'headless' mode. This means there is no GUI active while all the
document processing functions are available. The application even has
command line options specifically designed to take ODF files and generate
other fie types (html for instance) from them, in this non-GUI mode. This
feature is used as a backend for web applications today in production
environments. You can also call macros (sriptis) from the command line and
again if the macro is written properly can run just fine in this headless
mode.
Finally - I don't personally have a bunch of links for you with information
on setting that up but expect others on the users list will.
Best wishes,
Drew
Thanks in advance
Bruno
