OpenOffice Styles

I created a book which used a OOO Style called "Quotations". When I built an EPUB the paragraphs which were formatted with the Quotation style had the text class="Quotations"> at the beginning of each paragraph.

Other standard styles such as Preformatted Text W2E warned me it couldn't handle and would treat as Plain Text.

Using LO 3.4.5 an W2E 1.1.15

Is there a list of what styles W2E will handle (other than Headers).

Hi BobC,
I'm working to improve style handling in W2E. In the 1.1.15, the styles supported are:

Code:
	SupportedStylesList(0) = "Standard"
	SupportedStylesList(1) = "Text body"
	SupportedStylesList(2) = "Heading"
	SupportedStylesList(3) = "Heading 1"
	SupportedStylesList(4) = "Heading 2"
	SupportedStylesList(5) = "Heading 3"
	SupportedStylesList(6) = "Heading 4"
	SupportedStylesList(7) = "Heading 5"
	SupportedStylesList(8) = "Heading 6"
	SupportedStylesList(9) = "Title"
	SupportedStylesList(10) = "Subtitle"
	SupportedStylesList(11) = "Caption"
	SupportedStylesList(12) = "Quotations"
	SupportedStylesList(13) = "Marginalia"
	SupportedStylesList(14) = "Illustration"
	SupportedStylesList(15) = "Horizontal Line"
	SupportedStylesList(16) = "Footnote"
These styles are managed by superimpose a standard CSS. You cannot change parameters in this CSS from the OOo Style Manager, but you can edit the CSS with Calibre after the ePub creation.

What happens in the next release?
In the next release will be support more styles (included Preformatted Text, and you can create your own style calling it w2e_something.
All styles which name starts with w2e_ will be added to the CSS respecting:
– font height
– paragraph's top, left, right, bottom margins
– first line indent

Moreover the 1.1.16 has a better image export quality, many bugs corrected, optional export to Mobipocket format.

You can test the beta by downloading it here

Finally, the user manual is here, I need translators in other languages as soon as will be update…

Thanks

Luke

Luke,

Thanks for the info - I looked further into my problem and have found that the paragraphs with the extra text at the beginning as well as being formatted as "Quotations" style were in a Bullet List so it appears that was upsetting your conversion routine.

Now I have understood what the underlying problem is I can simply change the style to Default where the paragraph in in a List.

That's what comes of importing someone else's HTML into Writer as a basis for a conversion !

Done, and now you're admin.

Do you have idea how to implement multilanguage switch like these?

Unfortunately I don't. It has been ages since I've edited wiki pages the last time. Maybe that will help you ... I don't understand the template concept. I'd have to really dig into it

Personal style handling in W2E is a great improvement I think (BTW the whole W2E is great, thx a lot Luke!)

Even (text) color is transformed to CSS. Font-sizes are treated relative. Good.
Though in my experiments bold and italic style declarations do not appear in my CSS-classes (font-weight / font-style). Instead I still get explicite HTML markup inside my <p>'s.

Do I miss something at this point? (W2E 1.1.20, LO 3.4.6)

sent to the writer2epub gmail address. Hope this is fine.

I looked to the source again:
- (regular) headings also get an additional <strong> inside (no css definition for font-weight in <h1> etc).
- CSS: the 'text-decoration' definition for <a> misses a trailing semicolon. Seems to happen in all my w2e epubs.

Both solved, thanks.

I will send to you the next 2.0 beta as soon will be stable

Thx, that's great! Looking forward to it

Found some other usecase, where different types of styling techniques unluckily mix together:

A standard heading in LO typically is defined left-aligned, though the resulting epub will have it centered. This is due to the hardcoded text-align: center;
for h1 etc.. (Macro: writer2epub.CSS.CreateCSSFile).
But when the heading's style is defined right-aligned in LO, the resulting epub <h1> gets some additional class="right" overruling the css h1.text-align. The heading now gets aligned to the right as supposed.

For an ordinary, non-technical user this behaviour might be confusing - or magic
(pls tell me if you need example odt's)

Now the styles are "imposed" by W2E regardless the style displayed in OOo/LibO. In my first mind this is to help "dummy" authors to create a good book.

But now I change my mind, and I wish to make a CSS/Style editor for all styles.
If you have suggestions about the user interface please contact me…

Yep. This indeed makes w2e very valuable/attractive. You probably should keep such a "publish by one click" option.
