There is an extension that transforms Write documents to one of the digital Braille formats, without converting it first to Braille code points, as defined by Unicode. (It isn't DBF. Years ago, when I asked Duxberry (¿sp?) about their file format for writing an OOo import/export filter, the reaction was an extremely rousing "No way Jose".) In a similar vein, there are/were extensions that can (^1) import/export: * .epub; * .fb2; * .mobi; * .LIT; * .PDB; * OSIS; amongst other file formats. Furthermore, there has been some discussion about migrating the code within LibO that imports/exports "obsolete" file formats into an extension. I don't remember if "obsolete" was formerly defined. From my perspective, any file format whose primary software for creating/editing had an End-of-Life more than 15 years ago, is "obsolete". There is also the issue of identical file extensions that are used for two or more very different file formats. By way of example, both Word Perfect, and Microsoft Works have extensions in common. ^1: More precisely, the extension developer claims that it does so. Back when I tested them, the purported functionality was usually, shall we say, somewhat lacking. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
