Re open office Writer and web sites...
While I no longer live in NH and Helmers Publishing Inc. in
Peterbnorough is long gone, I read and take advice/info
from the GNHLUG list every day.
This week's Open Office discussion sparks a few comments I have
regarding this excellent program...
I have used open office exclusively to create my representations of
my ideas and current commentary for my WWW site Carl Helmers' PC and
etc. site <http://www.helmers.com>
since I converted it to Joomla! in 2006 from an earlier crude "last
page" attempt...
Turns out that OOWriter emits pretty good .html files which -- along
with associated .jpg illustrations /FileZilla/ FTP to my site in one
directory per article then linked into its Joomla structure. Examples
of recent
articles I have written and published:
CH & Linux (Fedora 12) 2010
<http://www.helmers.com/images/stories/2010-02/CZfL/Configuring_Zeus_For_Linux.html>
Carl Helmers' Open Source Breakthrough

Our Internet vs Murphy's Pine Tree
<http://www.helmers.com/images/stories/31_Current_Memes/OIvMPT/Our_Internet_vs_Murphy%27s_Pine_Tree.html>
The only serious problem I find in using OOWriter as my word processor
(shortly testing the latest just downloaded to my Zeus, my 2010 Linux box)
still exists in every release of the wordprocessor I have used to
date: See my
comments in the article:
OOWriter_Multi-Paragraph_Borders_HTML_Bug
<http://www.helmers.com/images/stories/CH&J%21/MPBHB/OOWriter_Multi-Paragraph_Borders_HTML_Bug.html>
The bug is simple: If you try to put a border around more than one
logical paragraph, the result is a separate border around each
paragraph... :-(
There are other occasional quirky very minor gotchas that getcha, but
the HTML
output with embedded .jpgs comes out very well... see my site for many
other examples...
