RFE: Open Office should support XML authoring (schema-aware probably)
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:59 UTC
Microsoft did first step to provide authoring tool - "Article Authoring Add-in for Microsoft Office Word 2007" - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=09c55527-0759-4d6d- ae02- 51e90131997e&displaylang=en&Hash=2e4sGiH7udG0FGYhlV9XDZhowaXNGu4jhm05Dll7QDUODIY %2bEbw6P6Ykk6Qw3wlTOKKQf23HubPxBEaXoROvdA%3d%3d Since Open Office support XSLT 2.0 - here great opportunity to do something similar to it, even better. Anyone can help me with scripting? Is here something new in scripting after Andrew Pitonyak book "OpenOffice.org Macros Explained" published? Will be cool if you help me to help you! :)
Any comments on this RFE?

Well, OOo is a WYSIWYG application. Using it as an XML authoring tools is an interesting and frequently requested idea, but very difficult to implement with a good user experience. Please note however that OOo has an XForms feature that allows to use XML instances within a document, and that ODF 1.2 has a new RDF based metadata feature, that will provide additional options in future OOo versions.
