Some more technical details here: https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2015-03-25-libreoffice-icewarp.html <https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2015-03-25-libreoffice-icewarp.html> I think both approaches are useful, for different scenarios. Theirs is best for fidelity - that is, it will present a visual representation of the document that, from what I understand, will be identical to what you would see in LibreOffice itself. It does however rely very heavily on the server side to implement a large proportion of the editing logic. Our approach (using HTML for rendering) provides less fidelity (in the sense of a LO/OO rendered version of a document being the “authoritative” rendering - though this depends on your needs, particularly if you’re focused on content rather than presentation). However our advantage is that *all* of the editing logic resides on the client, and we only need to talk to the server for document conversion and loading/saving purposes. — Dr Peter M.
