I just hauled in and installed on a test computer OpenOffice.org 1.1RC
(hereafter OOo). The Linux is Red Hat 8.0 with security updates. My
main interest is in the DocBook export filter, which has seen some
discussion on the LDP lists.
I wrote a very simple test document in OOo's native format. It had
some headers and a few paragraphs of text in it. OOo exported what
nsgmls considers a valid document.
nsgmls -wxml -s /usr/share/sgml/xml.dcl Test.xml
nsgmls:/usr/share/sgml/xml.dcl:1:W: SGML declaration was not implied
SGML validation finished at Sun Jul 20 15:10:41
A few notes:
* To be able to export to DocBook, you must have a Java runtime
environment (JRE) installed and registered with OOo. If you don't
already have one installed or have one registered with OOo, you can
do that after you have installed OOo. To register a JRE with an
installed instance of OOo, shut down OOo and use the program
/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1/program/jvmsetup to register it.
Contrary to the OOo documentation, the Linux OOo did not come with a
JRE. I got one from Sun.
* The exported file has lots of empty lines. My 54 line exported file
had 5 lines of actual XML code.
* There was no effort at pretty printing.
* The header is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd">
* The pull-down menu in the "Save As" dialog box for file format
indicates that the export format is "DocBook (simplified)." There is
no explanation of what that "simplified" indicates. Does OOo export
a subset of DocBook? If so, which elements are ignored? Is there any
way to enter any of them manually?
* There is NO documentation on the DocBook export filter or whether
OOo will import it again. Tch, tch.
Conclusions: OOo 1.1RC is worth looking at if you want a word
processor for preparing DocBook documents.
However, I hope they cure the lack of documentation. For one thing, it
would be nice to know which native OOo styles map to which DocBook
elements. It would also be nice to know how to map one's own OOo
styles to DocBook elements.
