There: http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#__RefHeading__1415854_253892949 and there: http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#__RefHeading__1417966_253892949 Also, from the *name* that you so easily got out of the file, anyone can tell that binary-data will, indeed, hold a binary data (and the properties you omitted, as well as the position in the file will indicate the nature of it). Same logic with num-format. Only someone seriously thickheaded would go saying "geez, I wonder what style:num-format can be". Your turn now, where is "\cf0\kerning1\dbch\af6\langfe2052\dbch\af7\afs24\alang1081\loch\f4\fs24\lang1036" documented? And do you really find this easier to understand than tags like "num-format" and "style:name"? You can ignore the fact that RTF was changed on numerous occasion in non-retrocompatible ways, and ignore the fact that some features of RTF are, to this day, not officially documented by MS, and also ignore the fact that accross several MS tools (namely MS Word and Wordpad) you get completely different results for the same file, and still ignore when these are pointed out, but it won't magically make it true. A RTF file is less "human-readable" than the content.xml file in an ODT (or a docx for that matter). -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
