I've written most of a simple (python) program to do the following:
zip contents of directory "name/" as "name.odt" (a previously
unzipped document)
open the OpenOffice Writer on "name.odt"
when user quits Writer, unzip contents of "name.odt" to "name/" (&
remove "name.odt")
..and, while I'm at it, reformat the xml bits to be "diff" and
"merge"-friendly.
Why? So that by using subversion (or cvs etc.) to store the directory
rather the ".odt" file my co-workers and I will be able to merge
changes to a single document.
I've seen a few discussions about other approaches to the same end but
I saw no conclusive answers as to how to do it. Please let me know if
there is another way to do this!
My question:
Can I run the Writer from the command line in such a way that it does
not return until the user quits? (Or alternatively, can I get Writer to
run a close-document-hook?)
Ideally I'd like to be able to do this on Linux, Mac and Windows.
Cheers,
Oliver Goodman
