Carl, In an attempt to clear up something, what do you think the phrase you use "text-formatting codes used by OO" means? OOo will read many types of files, and so it can interpret the tags appropriately it needs to know what type of file it is. What happens internally is not relevant to you. What I think you want to know is what the tags are for some file format that can be read and edited/printed. If you ask OOo to read a bare text (.txt) file, you will find it will ask you what the encoding is (UTF-8, ISO-nnnn-n, etc), how line ends are represented, which font to use, and what language it is in. These bits of information are not present in a .txt file, and so it asks. Why do you think it could divine what any other tags mean? So the suggestions given by others on this list are the best that can be done. It is up to you to make the definitions that OOo can use, and I would have thought html would be the best. The overhead to say it is an html file is minimal. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
