Do you know the location of the configuration file to change mime
types using a text editor?

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: use of flat xml formats

2011-09-29 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
The requirement that the office:document office:mimetype attribute be 
present and have a known MIME type has been a condition on ODF single-file 
XML documents since ODF 1.0/1.1.  It is a schema validation error for 
the attribute to be missing.

The admissible office:mimetype values, and the consistency requirements 
on the office:document-content element are a bit squishy.  In ODF 1.2 
there are strict provisions for what the agreement must be for a conforming 
ODF (text, spreadsheet, presentation, ...) document.  Most ODF 1.0/1.1 
documents satisfy the stricter requirements already.  

It is easy, but not OK, to miss this when hand-crafting or software-
generating a flat xml representation of an ODF document.

I am writing an AsciiDoc backend to produce ODF files directly from
AsciiDoc. I was also looking for a flat file importer. Currently
LibreOffice and OpenOffice want to open such a .fodt (or .xml) file as
text rather than an pure ODF file.


I suspect it's a Windows version issue. I can easily open .fodt, .fods
in linux LO 3.3.4  3.4.3. Windows versions act (using the same test
files) do as you suggest and only open as text.


I am using Linux, however I found that the flat XML ODF files require an 
office:mimetype attribute to the office:document root-element. Not doing 
this will make LibreOffice (3.4.3) fail to open the document as ODF, but 
instead as plain text.


So adding:

office:mimetype=application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text

did the trick for me !
