Re: [libreoffice-users] Import XML files?
Ok, I'll put it on the list. Visual FoxPro (for example) has a built in function, XMLTOCURSOR, which takes a string or filename and produces a table.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Import XML files?
Hi :) Yes, but LO develops so fast that even a version just a couple of months old is 'ancient'. I think it would be nice to see an LTS that has all security and bug-fixes back-ported to it so that people could stick to one version for a year or more rather than having to re-install every month or so. Unfortunately the BoD are fairly committed to making sure we don't get one.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Import XML files?
Thanks for that Steve. It looks like this is saying that OO/LO needs a specific template for a specific input, is that the case? I hope not, XML is supposed to be a self defining file format surely? A general importer ought to be easy, no?

[libreoffice-users] Import XML files?
I've got an XML file (I've generated myself, programmatically). I thought it ought to be easy to import it in LO (3.4.6), somehow. I thougth Calc would be a good bet, but it just gives me "General I/O error". Base does the same.
