Re: OpenOffice Writer/Web how to add lists without paragraph P tags.
Hi, My understanding is that you can only export any OO Writer document as an HTML file. For this, you would add normal formatting as for any Writer document, without worrying about HTML tags. I suppose you might then be able to change the tags to your liking - but for this, and if you want to manually write HTML files, you are probably better off using a text editor, such as BBEdit/TextWrangler on a Mac. That's my experience anyway. marina On 30/5/14 at 1:00 AM, kypar...@gmail.com (Keyur Parikh) wrote: Hi, I am trying to write a new Web document (html) file.

Re: OpenOffice Writer/Web how to add lists without paragraph P tags.
I have found that in using any word processor to write HTML files many extraneous, unneeded, and sometimes even unwanted tags are generated. The work-around that I use is to generate a file using the word processor and then edit it with a text processor such as WordPad in Windows. I can't say about Mac's because I have never used one. You can see an example of the results of my method at www.considerthis.net.

Do not try to use Writer/Web for this task. It generates old fashioned, not really good HTML code. There is currently no volunteer to maintain it, so expect no improvement in the near future. Also just found out that to add a line break (BR) : need to type ShiftEnter : this is not documented anywhere. ( In fact hardly found documentation for html documents in the manual is there any online version for this manual ? ). For simple structured documents you get a better result, when you use the normal Writer and use styles, and export the document to XHTML. Obviously you are able to read HTML, therefore even a simple editor with only syntax-highlighting will work better for you than Writer/Web.

If there is no one to maintain it then it is probably not a good choice for html writing. No wonder the generated code for bold was B which I think is deprecated so one has changed it to use the style sheets or alternate html code. Normally I write HTML directly but thought I could use a program which makes it a tad easier for formatting, fonts and links and thought that OpenOffice works on all platforms (PC/Macs) could be the one solution. ( Microsoft word was horrendous at writing/converting html !!!). Anyway , I found that Microsoft Expression Web 4 : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=36179 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=36179 is now free ( at least the version I am using ) and generates code without any extra stuff like word and does not generate the paragraph tags and has a code and split screen for design and code, so you can easily add html code directly in the code tab ( e.g. PRE tags) and then continue in the design tab. In the Code tab it shows drop down menu for available tags e.g. for style sheets or tables. Normally am I not in favor of Microsoft products for such development but this one fits the bill. The version will not get updated with newer HTML5 and newer css. For anything more complex Visual Studio /Dreamweaver could be used. I had tested Amaya but it did not display many documents correctly and it does not have any support and no new development. Thanks all for responding.
