I've been composing in the "Text Body" style in LibreOffice. And from there I've saved the document as an .odt file and then saved the .odt file as a .html file (all in LO). I did it that way for eight stories and it worked perfectly. Just clean <p>paragraphs</p>. I was thrilled. Until this last story.
The story handled two or three italics (using italics once in a while is all I really do, besides typical punctuations marks), but then (see screenshot 109) it added all this bloat, all these span tags in the middle of sentences etc. A mess. And I don't know why.
The LO Text Body style seems different than MS Office Word 2003's, where if you were in a portion of the text reflecting a certain style the style pane reflected it as well. Click on an area reflecting a different style and the style pane would change to reflect it.
Well, in LO the Text Body in the style pane doesn't change.
And anyway, I need to know how to avoid this and I'd really like to know why it happened. This piece in the screenshot is only 1100 words so no biggie but if it had been a novel I would have been really concerned. (read euphemism)
Next issue. Dealing with flash drives. In Linux it seems very unreliable. Like the USB drive is "not mounted" sometimes. Other times it is "mounted automatically."
Then I couldln't paste anything into this one flashdrive. It had little lock icons next to every file. So I clicked on the drive's properties and when I tried to opened the access panel below "gregory" to "read & write" (figuring that's why the lock icons were there) it gave me the window (see 110 screenshot) and I did not know what to do with that "recursive" window. (I Googled it and it says, 'it calls out itself.' Oh.)
And the last problem with a flash drive was trying to paste into it and getting this window (see screenshot 111).
You guys know what's going on?
