Subject: Typesetting LibreOffice (ODT) documents with ConTeXt
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:31:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51097527.2090600@meahan.net> (raw)
I scoured the wiki and mailing-list without finding a definite answer.
The most recent discussion I can find is from 2006 and at that time it
was "possible" but nobody had yet developed the appropriate template,
XSLT style-sheet, module or whatever to actually do it.
For a number of reasons (including an absolute necessity to produce MS
compatible .doc files) I need to maintain and write documents using
LibreOffice Writer (or OO.org Writer) but the quality of the PDF files
is, shall we say, not satisfactory. Exporting to LaTeX 2e is possible
(and standard equipment in LO-W) but after using both for a while now, I
vastly prefer ConTeXt. I could probably use something like the TEI tools
to transform the ODT file to XHTML or TEI p5 and process that but I've
found over many years such intermediate transformations have a lot of
problems of their own.
I don't need math support for /my/ work but I am sure others who do need
it would like to follow the same route to great PDFs.
Any solutions?
