------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Sep 5 09:08:22 -0700 2005 ------- Hi, I've been playing around with HTML exports to look for formats I can e-mail to other people that can be read by any software (so that sadly rules out the excellent .odt format) but isn't too big as a file. When I have tried exporting a Writer file as HTML, although it looks fine in a browser, the HTML source looks something like this: <P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.2cm; margin-bottom: 0.2cm; font-style: normal"> <FONT SIZE=2><B>Eddie:</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"> Yeah.</SPAN></FONT></P> <P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.2cm; margin-bottom: 0.2cm; font-style: normal"> <FONT SIZE=2><B>Jack:</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"> I'm Jack. Jack Matthews. I've been waiting to meet someone like you.</SPAN></FONT></P> <P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.2cm; margin-bottom: 0.2cm; font-style: normal"> <FONT SIZE=2><B>Eddie:</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"> What's that supposed to mean.</SPAN></FONT></P> <P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.2cm; margin-bottom: 0.2cm; font-style: normal"> <FONT SIZE=2><B>Stephen:</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"> Oh, take no notice of him. He's had a rough time lately. Now where were we? ... Oh yes. Now, if my memory serves me correctly, you're in here for burglary.</SPAN></FONT></P> Now, although these complex HTML tags might be great for reproducing a document so that it appears in exactly the format in a web browser, all I want is the basic formatting preserved. I'd much rather have something looking like this: <P><B>Eddie:</B> Yeah.</P> <P><B>Jack:</B> I'm Jack. Jack Matthews. I've been waiting to meet someone like you.</P> <P><B>Eddie:</B>What's that supposed to mean.</P> <P><B>Stephen:</B> Oh, take no notice of him. He's had a rough time lately. Now where were we? ... Oh yes. Now, if my memory serves me correctly, you're in here for burglary.</P> ... with any instructions for the default formatting encompssing the entire text. (Apart from the bold, all of the formatting was set as the default font.) Are all of these tags necessary? If they are, would it be possible to have, say, an "HTML-lite" option that leaves out some of the longer and less important tags? (All I'd be really interested in having in an HTML document are tags such as <P>, <Hx>, <B>, <I> and other similar basic tags.) I can of course remove these tags manually, but when it's a 65-page document it's a pain to do, and the size of the file can be halved by leaving out many of these tags. I admit that I'm worse hit than most people because many of my documents have lots of one-sentence paragraphs, but can you help me out? [BTW, I'm using FC4's ediction of Openoffice 1.9.125. Can you clarify how this fits into the classification of Openoffice 2.0, 2.0 Beta and 2.0 Beta 2, because I don't know which of these, if any, my build is.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
