Wow! Excellent stuff. Now for an LO user specific question... <https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/open-standards-for-government/sharing-or-collaborating-with-government-documents> states that ODF 1.2 is prefered and will be used ( also see: <http://standards.data.gov.uk/meeting/technical-standards-panel-meeting-17-march-2014> ). So LO 4.1 default is set to ODF 1.2 Extended (recommened), however there are these ODF 1.2 options to choose from (Tools|Options|Load/Save|General[Default file format and ODF settings]): ODF 1.2 ODF 1.2 Extended (compat mode) ODF 1.2 Extended (recommened) Does anyone know: 1. What the difference is between 'ODF 1.2 Extended (compat mode)' and 'ODF 1.2 Extended (recommened)'? 2. If using 'ODF 1.2 Extended (recommened)' will cause issues with the UK Gov 'ODF 1.2'? Where is Dennis E. Hamilton when you need him? :-) <http://orcmid.com/blog/2010/02/worst-nightmare-opendocument-format.asp> -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
