Re: Resources on writing import/export file filters for Writer

Thanks Noel! I’ve poked through https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/tree/master/sw/source/filter/html and couldn’t find anything hinting at expanding HTML entities. Looking at the parser you indicated, looks like this code would cover HTML entities: https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blo

Thank you Miklos, I’ve been poking through the HTML reader (rather superficially, I admit) in search for the code that expands HTML entities to Unicode. I did that to address this bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119944 Didn’t find much, so could you please point me i

Re: Resources on writing import/export file filters for Writer

Thank you Miklos! I've spent some time trying to figure out how to use XSLT to define export to an XML format, e.g. here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Export_filter_framework That too seems to require writing a native-code wrapper, but most of the documentation here is way outdated (earl

Re: Resources on writing import/export file filters for Writer

Hello, I haven’t yet had the time to dive into the topic yet—unfortunately. So perhaps my question is somewhat of a guess: compared to using the Python UNO interface to load and traverse a document, can I expect a performance improvement when I use a filter to save the information that I currentl

Re: Resources on writing import/export file filters for Writer

Thanks David, I'll noodle through the Wiki then. (Maybe) last question for now: if this: https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/tree/master/sw/source/filter are the import filters for (some) of the file formats that Writer is able to read, where would the export filters be? Cheers, Jens -- Jen

Re: Resources on writing import/export file filters for Writer

Thank you David. That's a start but still assumes a lot of implicit knowledge about the surrounding infrastructure. Is there a minimal export plugin to start from? I do have quite some experience with the object model from the Python/UNO view. Also, it appears that LO6+ imports (x)html files to so

Re: Resources on writing import/export file filters for Writer

Thank you Miklos! Fridrich's blog was interesting, and mentions export filters on occasion. It hasn't given much detail though on how to actually write a XFilter based implementation which is what seems most sensible. Perhaps somebody can point me at the source code of existing (simple) export fi

Resources on writing import/export file filters for Writer

Hello, I’m looking into writing an “export filter”, i.e. exporting the currently open Writer document to a custom file format. Can somebody please point me at the appropriate documentation and perhaps code samples? At a later point I’d like to import a custom file format as well, and will look
