Gary,
Maybe I'm just slow and fuzzy today, but what do you have in mind
for a "how-to" on exports? A checklist of things to consider when
making layout decisions in the original ODT file, because of the
effects on exported files? Or something else?
I've never even tried using most of the export (or even save-as)
formats that OOo provides, other than PDF export and now a bit of
MediaWiki export, so I don't know what people might need or want
to know.
DocBook is a big candidate for a good writeup: I know so little
about DocBook export and import (and working with DocBook files)
that I have trouble even asking an intelligent question. I've
read some of the info on the subject but have been unable to
translate it into anything that makes sense to me in practical
terms... and the tools I've heard about all seem to either cost a
lot or be too techie for me, or I have to work about the embedded
XML codes. What I want to do is open a DocBook file in OOo and
edit it there, then save it out again. I'm not concerned about
the specifics of layout, but I definitely don't want the codes in
my way.
