Fw: OpenOffice: Who is Hugo?
|
|
Dave Brondsema asked me to send my .sxw files to help solve this problem. I did, along with .xml and .html files. My email was bounced with this message: SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data: host mail.apache.org [209.237.227.199]: 552 ZIP attachments are not accepted here. I guess that it is the .sxw files that were mistaken for .zip files - I am re-sending without the .sxw files - what should I do to get these through?

Dave Brondsema asks: "Thanks for figuring that out! I'll fix it now, but I'd like to test it and make sure it works properly. Can you send your .sxw file?" Yes - files attached: (1) headings.sxw - as far as I can see this consists of 7 lines, each of a OpenOffice different style: "Heading1" through to "Heading5", then "text body" then "default". (2) headings.xml - The same file as (1) saved as a DocBook file, using the OpenOffice "Save as DocBook (simplified)" option. Note that the XML tags in this file are not at all what I would have expected, and this may point to a problem somewhere within OpenOffice, rather than Forrest (!). I don't know how to examine the internal XML structure of the .sxw file, but I'm worried that it is screwed up in some way. I downloaded and installed OpenOffice 1.1.2 last week, just so I could play with the OpenOffice facilities within Forrest. The DocBook filter was installed by the installation process (their website contains confusing pages suggesting that you have to apply DocBook separately). I can't think that I could have broken anything, but perhaps I have. (3) TRM_headings.sxw. I modified some OpenOffice styles and page formatting, to suit the format of the "Technical Reference Manuals" (TRMs) that my company creates. So I have added the same test text as (1) above into that template. (4) TRM_headings.xml - The same files as (3) saved as a DocBook file. Again, you can see the XML tags all over the place (but differently than in (2) above!). (5 and 6) - the HTML that forrest creates, just for completeness. I hope you can work this out!
