create valid HTML when "save as HTML"
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
Hi, Someone reported a bug into Malone, the Ubuntu bug tracker. Seems that this problem doesn't only concern Ubuntu. " HTML files saved from OpenOffice are invalid. To reproduce 1) Write a document in OpenOffice.org writer Create a table, and insert a picture. 2) File: Save as:, File Type: HTML Document (OpenOffice.org Writer) 3) Validate the document in http://validator.w3.org What should happen: It should validate, as it claims to be HTML. What actually happens: Validation fails. I created a test page in Dapper Flight 6 and openoffice.org-writer 2.0.2-2ubuntu1, but this bug is also present in Dapper. I find it suprising that OpenOffice can't save HTML, as its native save format is XML-based. " Original bug report can be found here : https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/39455 Thanks
confirmed; Writer doesn't create valid HTML; even though this can be considered a defect I leave this as an enhancement (it is not unreasonable to enhance the HTML output so that it conforms) and according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd I reassign this issue to requirements and set the status to New
