[Bug 154434] FILEOPEN HTML: Writer loses HTML layout
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154434 V Stuart Foote changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #22 from V Stuart Foote --- It was confirmed, but a clear => WF of OP or later comments where attachment 196061 needs to be edited for line ends prior to import. Other than WF here--two paths forward, either enhance the Writer Web module and its filters to parse current CSS and HTML5 and write out viable CSS/HTML5 content. Or *dump* Writer Web module and its HTML4 Transitional implementation completely, instead refactoring the filters to import Web documents into the core modules and implicitly converting them to native ODF. Export as/print to HTML/XHTML to handle publication, just like PDF and EPub. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

What exactly should the HTML filter accept as line break (or IOW what > is the standard here)? Seems the import filter doesn't know anything about "white-space" With option "pre" it will accept all spaces and won't set more than one space to one. It will also accept or \n. Also import filter ignores display:none. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

However, what's worse, it actually opens the link, which in this case is harmless, but might, in other scenarios, pull in all kinds of nasty stuff. If you want to compete with this other office suite, you need at least render such simple html correctly! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

One the one hand we want to support as many formats as possible and do have support for HTML but on the other we surely cannot catch up with Internet browsers. We might be able to improve in some area but likely not in case of complex layouts. So the recommendation is to create a more simple document that LibreOffice can load rather than spending a lot of effort. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Makes sense to me and seems to be easier to handle UX-wise, too, since it would be an import/export, just like the other formats. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

There are ongoing suggestions to remove the Writer Web module. And to instead improve the import filters for importing to Writer, Draw, Impress, or Calc as ODF only documents. With corresponding export filter work to render ODF back to web content. The utility of LibreOffice as an HTML4 editor continues to degrade. So there is nothing actionable here for the HTML of the OP (and here we simply don't handle the class= positioning of the embedded css on filter import). IMHO => NAB and => WF for any effort to address this single issue. Dev's with UX-advise agreement should decide what to do with the Writer Web module.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154434 --- Comment #12 from Heiko Tietze --- I think key is the anchoring of images that we do 'To Character', by default.

Ultimately we will not reach pixel-perfect representation, as browsers with different engines works differently. How about using a table in the HTML sources?

We shouldn't include a complete browser. But since we are proud to filter data from almost any source, we need to support HTML too.
