Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 29906
Bibliographic endnotes missing from (X) HTML export
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Exporting a Writer file containing endnotes to HTML leaves the endnotes missing. For all intents and purposes, that means it is impossible to compose academic papers and post them on the web. Note that Microsoft Word 2000 and higher perform this function correctly, although oversized superscript numbers in the HTML make it ugly (Microsoft should have used size="-2" or somesuch). I'm not sure whether this item belongs under filters, or bibliography project, or where else.
reassigned to ES.
I can't reproduce it. Please attach a sample document.
Created attachment 15725 [details] Test case SXW file that you can export to XHTML yourself
The endnotes are still there but on a an HTML page *2* which is not really HTML view compliant. Viewing the file in a browser, everything is ok.
> The endnotes are still there but on a an HTML page *2* No, they are not there. I just ran another test. The endnotes are completely missing from the xhtml exported file. I examined the file by hand using a stand-alone text editor.
es. This seems to be a serious issue. Can the priority be increased ? David N. Wilson Project Lead for the Bibliographic OpenOffice Project
This problem is still on in OOo 2.3!!!!. I attach a short file with three endnotes. You can see that while the odt and the pdf has the endnotes, the xhtml file do not. I generated the xhtml file by export to xhtml. Note that by "save as" on html file also keep the endnoted. Here is the body of the xhtml file (from export): <body dir="ltr"><p class="Standard">New Document </p><p class="Standard">AAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS</p></body> The body of the html file (from save as) is much different: <BODY LANG="fr-FR" DIR="LTR"> <P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">New Document</P> <P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><A CLASS="sdendnoteanc" NAME="sdendnote1anc" HREF= "#sdendnote1sym"><SUP>i</SUP></A>AAAAAAA<A CLASS="sdendnoteanc" NAME="sdendnote2 anc" HREF="#sdendnote2sym"><SUP>ii</SUP></A>SSSSSSSSSSSS<A CLASS="sdendnoteanc" NAME="sdendnote3anc" HREF="#sdendnote3sym"><SUP>iii</SUP></A></P> <DIV ID="sdendnote1"> <P CLASS="sdendnote"><A CLASS="sdendnotesym" NAME="sdendnote1sym" HREF=" #sdendnote1anc">i</A>Aaaaaaaaaaaaa</P> <P CLASS="sdendnote"><BR> </P> </DIV> <DIV ID="sdendnote2"> <P CLASS="sdendnote"><A CLASS="sdendnotesym" NAME="sdendnote2sym" HREF=" #sdendnote2anc">ii</A>SSSSSSSSSSSSSS</P> </DIV> <DIV ID="sdendnote3"> <P CLASS="sdendnote"><A CLASS="sdendnotesym" NAME="sdendnote3sym" HREF=" #sdendnote3anc">iii</A>DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD</P> </DIV> </BODY>
Created attachment 49432 [details] open document with endnotes
Created attachment 49433 [details] resulting pdf, shows the endnotes

This is a very serious bug. I am using OpenOffice to edit an online openacess journal, Verniana, http://JV.Gilead.org.il/studies, and use export to pdf and xhtml to generate the galleys (I separate the xhml to body and css for display). Howver, the fact I cannot use endnotes is very disturbing. I have to change all the automatically genetrared endnotes with normal paragraphs with a manual crossreferencing!
