The HTML shouldn't be too difficult if you start by saving an OOo document as HTML and then insert your simple HTML markup into it at an appropriate place. You don't need to write the header stuff yourself, not that there's much to it.E.g. [a sample with some formatted sample text.] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <TITLE></TITLE> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="OpenOffice.org 2.0 (Linux)"> <META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="Ross Johnson"> <META NAME="CREATED" CONTENT="20060216;17303900"> <META NAME="CHANGEDBY" CONTENT="Ross Johnson"> <META NAME="CHANGED" CONTENT="20060216;17320000"> </HEAD> <BODY LANG="en-AU" DIR="LTR">
Actually, you don't *need* any of this. OpenOffice.org quite happily accepts minimal body HTML both as a new document or inserted into an existing document.
One of the advantages of using MS Word or OpenOffice Writer for this is that you have already preset a lot of the background formatting in your template and so can use HTML as originally intended, as an easy and forgiving way by which anyone, including non-programmers, can quickly produce formatted text.
Indeed, if I insert an HTML file with this header into an OpenOffice document, is any of this header information actually kept? And if it is, do I really want a general routine to sets a particular part of the text to Australian English, if the language of the document in which it is inserted might be something else?
