Thanks.

I've just sent the email off.  FWIW, I intend using ODF as the default file
format.  ;)

Hey,

None of those things are strictly necessary. You just won't be able to 
know for certain that the file you're receiving is a valid .odt file. 
I'm not 100% sure about the character entities, but I don't think you 
need those either.


If you want to develop for ODF, I suggest you come to the OpenDocument 
Fellowship developers list. We have a very strong team of experts (6 
OASIS TC members and about another 5 active experts). I can't think of a 
better place to get ODF questions answered.

I've got a question about the ODF format resulting from that - I was wondering 
if anyone knows enough to give me some help.  The XML library that is built 
small enough for my intentions happens to be LlamaXML and to quote:

http://www.llamagraphics.com/LlamaXML/
"In order to keep the library small enough for handheld applications, LlamaXML 
does not provide XML validation, XML Schemas, Document Type Definitions 
(DTD), and MoveToAttribute methods (Use GetAttribute instead). There is also 
no support for external entities. LlamaXML only supports the basic four named 
character entities, which are """, "<", ">", and "&"."


Now, are those details - XML validation, Document Type Definitions, etc - 
necessary for ODF?  I know XML Schemas are, so I expect I'll be working out 
how to get that supported.  But the rest?


Thanks

I will kindly suggest to move this question to a more technical forum such
as dev@xml.openoffice.org and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This lists are with the xml opendocument architects that are more capable of
answer your question.

[discuss] ODF question

2006-01-22 Thread Wesley Parish
A few days ago I muttered something about writing a miniature office suite - 
provisionally labelled "Office Miniatures", so now you know! ;) - suitable 
for handhelds, etc, and using the ODF file format.

I've got a question about the ODF format resulting from that - I was wondering 
if anyone knows enough to give me some help.  The XML library that is built 
small enough for my intentions happens to be LlamaXML and to quote:
http://www.llamagraphics.com/LlamaXML/
"In order to keep the library small enough for handheld applications, LlamaXML 
does not provide XML validation, XML Schemas, Document Type Definitions 
(DTD), and MoveToAttribute methods (Use GetAttribute instead). There is also 
no support for external entities. LlamaXML only supports the basic four named 
character entities, which are """, "<", ">", and "&"."

Now, are those details - XML validation, Document Type Definitions, etc - 
necessary for ODF?  I know XML Schemas are, so I expect I'll be working out 
how to get that supported.  But the rest?

Thanks
