Updating XSLT based filters – enhancing XHTML export
Jogi Sievers
Svante Schubert (Co-lead XML project) has finished an update for the XHTML export filter. It was the 14th of April where the CWS arrived ready for QA-status. In the meanwhile Svante and Mathias Bauer also have discussed about updating the XSLT based filters via an extension [issue 88270] to be independent from update cycles of the whole office application. So the iTeam decided to expand the scope of the CWS DEV300/xsltfilter09 and I am really happy that we have done that.

One week later – 21st of April – the CWS was again ready for QA and with the integration of the CWS xsltfilter09 to the DEV300 master workspace the OpenOffice.org will get some really great enhancements for the XHTML export and also the other XSLT based filters (e.g. DocBook XML):

Great work Mathias and Svante!

Thank you very much! When will the xhtml filter actually replace the old built-in html 3.2 export? when will the xhtml export support drawings and images?

Thank you for all your work.

Hi Gerald,

first: It has not been decided to replace the old 3.2 filter. (I don't know if there is any discussion about that at the moment)

second: To support embedded objects we have to do some work. There existing some issues in that area. One issue is #22012 and I have asked SUS if it is possible to use the base64 embedded in the XHTML stream.

Cu,
Jogi

Hi Gerri,

replacing of the old 3.2 export filter with the XHTML doesn't make sense before an XHMTL import filter is available, that is capable to import at least all elements that the XHTML export filter supports. It's a major feature of OOo Writer Web that you can edit existing HTML files with it.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if it's the right way to use import/export of the whole file for Writer Web. I imgagin a solution which changes the (X)HTML code in real time, when e.g. a character is typed. This would allow cool features like a split window with (X)HTML source on the one side an the rendered page on the other side.

Just my 2 cents,

Jörg

Good work. How am I supposed to install this last version?

Hi Bruno,

the CWS has been integrated in the DEV300m13 milestone. All builds after it will have the changes included. There exists no extension-based XHTML-filter package now.

Thanks a lot, that's what I wanted to know.
