Track changes in odt and docx files

mcdummy · 05-03-2016, 07:08 AM

Hi,

recently, I was converting odt and docx documents containing added and deleted text (both created with the track-changes function) into epubs. While the docx conversion removed the deleted parts and kept the added parts as normal text (thus creating a clean version of the document), the odt conversion kept both and created a separate paragraph for the deleted parts.

Since I have to create marked-up epubs for my current project, could it be made selectable to keep the changed parts (both deleted and added text), e.g., by using the <del> and <ins> commands?

Regards,

McDummy

Not something I am interested in implementing, but patches are welcome.
