I looked at converting documentation for another project to Docbook. The roving OOXML scandals seem to have DDOS'd XML developmers, including those previously developing Docbook, which is stuck at v4.5 with 5.0 being stalled. http://www.docbook.org/schemas/ ODT can be put in revision control systems. The blob you are used to seeing as OD* is a zipped directory of many files. You could have the revision control system unzip everything on the way in. You get something like this, with various embedded objects getting their own files: drwxr-xr-x 10 lars lars 200 2009-11-10 12:41 Configurations2 drwxr-xr-x 2 lars lars 60 2009-11-10 12:41 META-INF drwxr-xr-x 2 lars lars 60 2009-11-10 12:41 Thumbnails -rw-r--r-- 1 lars lars 27097 2009-10-12 19:27 content.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 lars lars 62 2009-10-12 19:27 layout-cache -rw-r--r-- 1 lars lars 876 2009-10-12 19:27 meta.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 lars lars 39 2009-10-12 19:27 mimetype -rw-r--r-- 1 lars lars 8197 2009-10-12 19:27 settings.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 lars lars 11240 2009-10-12 19:27 styles.xml That is one way. I don't know if it is currently practical, but it has been theoretically available for ages. Another way would be to save as a flat XML file. That will put everything, including images, into a single file. The images end up like this: <draw:z-index="0"> <draw:image> <office:binary-data>iVBORw0KGgoAA... /Lars _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list gNewSense-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
