Description Thomas Lendo 2018-05-21 06:35:45 UTC 
Meta bug about single XML document – also known as Flat XML or Uncompressed XML Files. Single OpenDocument XML files are not widely used,[citation needed] they are also unsupported on some office software which claims to support ODF (Microsoft Office applications version 2007 to 2013 do not recognize them). Filename extensions for a single OpenDocument XML documents are not defined in the OpenDocument technical specification, but commonly used are .xml, .fodt,[1][2] .fods, ... etc.

Is it even possible to save documents into flat XML files? I don't see this as an output filter in a recent Writer nightly.

File -> Save As..., then choose 'Flat XML ODF Text Document (.fodt)' from the dropdown (the other apps should have similar entries with their corresponding formats).
