Subject: [users] can I turn HTML into OO files?
People,
I have nearly 80 HTML files that I would like to put together
or edit with OOo-2. I think I can go from openoffice -> markup,
but don't know about the other way. I'masking before trying
because I have tried (with 1.1.5) to edit *.txt files with
simple HTML commands and OO did not like it!
thanks!

I think it may depend on what you want to end up with. If the HTML files are
mainly text based and you want to end up with text style documents then
simply select/copy the text from your browser and paste it into an OO
document. You can also embed graphics in your OO document via copy/paste
(see also the thread about positioning graphics in OO Writer - read up about
Anchors)..
You could also use "Open With" (on Windows, anyway) to open the HTML
directly with OO. This is fine for text based documents but OO doesn't seem
to do a particularly good job with embedded graphics. There is no direct way
to Save As a normal OO document but you could Export as PDF.
If you want an HTML editor - you want to end up with HTML documents - then I
can recommend Arachnophilia which is free from
http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/ I've used it on Windows but, as it's
Java based, I think it will run on many different platforms. You can also
tell it which browser(s) you like and it will behave appropriately. Dealing
with the author, for support perhaps, is best described as interesting, but
the software does seem to do what it says on the tin. Make *very* sure you
have the latest version before claiming you've found a bug. Make *very* sure
you've read the FAQs before asking a question.
