for convenience, the wiki pages can be found under https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/OOXML https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/OOXML_Framework > > - Created a new Java project at ooxml/main/source/framework/SchemaParser > that parses the XML schema files that come with the ECMA-376 > specification files. > Its purpose is to read the schema files and create a skeleton OOXML > parser from it.

Thanks for the update, I think it's good to know that you are already able to read both versions as described above. I believe most users of OOXML don't care about the spec and even don't know that the files produced today are by default OOXML transitional. OOXML is far more complex than reading one spec ... but nobody cares about the complexity and simply want pr expect a 1:1 support ;-) Juergen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
