CMF OpenOffice Integration

The OpenOffice product provides the following features:

• OpenOffice documents are rendered into HTML utilizing an XSLT-processor and a configurable XSL stylesheet.
• (optional) binary content that is included in the OpenOffice document can be published and accessed via the web like a normal document, image or file.
• Metadata is automatically inserted into the document's Dublin Core of icoya/CMF.
• Fast XSLT transformation using libxml2/libxslt.
• OpenOffice documents can be edited directly by using OpenOffice. This makes it extremely easy to create and modify documents in the Web using a local OpenOffice installation.
• A document specific cascading stylesheet (CSS) can be applied to modify an existing OpenOffice document formatting (fonts, colors, etc.).
• Uses sx2ml XSL stylesheets which can be found at http://xml.openoffice.org/source/browse/xml/xmloff/xslt/sx2ml/.
• The OpenOffice integration and supplementary software is freely available under open source license on the icoya portal downloads/zope_products/CMFOODocument-0_1_4.tar.gz

Using It

Using OpenOffice Documents is as easy as using text or HTML. Just add an Open Office Document type (OODocument) to a folder and upload an OpenOffice Writer document (.sxw). Immediately after uploading the document, it is instantly rendered into HTML or any other tagged format like WML or XML.
