Description Shlomi Fish 2011-05-30 08:31:58 UTC
After I do:

libreoffice3.3 The-Enemy-Hebrew.fiction-text.xhtml

I'm getting an ASCII filter options dialogue. Now the .xhtml file contains an XML declaration («<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>») and is generated from DocBook/XML and as such is not recognised by libreoffice.

Please make sure that libreoffice open this XHTML file correctly, because I'm tired of XHTML being handled so badly by libreoffice.

Regards,

-- Shlomi Fish

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I made different tests:

1) just open the file
LO doesn't display any popup about filtering, it opens the file showing all the xml tags

2) open the file by telling to LO it's html (plain html, not Calc html or something)
LO displays the file without xml formatting except the first xml tag (<?xml version...)

3) I made the same tests with a brand new file, I've got the same results.

cedric: from my previous comment, I wonder several things:
- is test 1) an ok by default behaviour?
- shoudn't test 2) display xml declaring, no?

Finally, in open type, should there be a specific XHTML part or should it be added to HTML, HTM?

Any idea?

The bug is still present in libreoffice-writer-4.4.2.2-4.mga5 on Mageia Linux 5 x86-64, and this time what happens is that the XHTML file gets opened with all the markup displayed as plaintext intact.

This bug, which I had reported, is still happening on Fedora 24 x86-64 with:

/opt/libreoffice5.2/program/soffice The-Enemy-Hebrew.fiction-text.xhtml

It displays the XML markup of the file as tags inside the editor.
