OPEN OFFICE WRITER

.html FILE GENERATION TEST

 


This is a test document to show what imported HTML frrm Open Office Writer will look like when passed to my www.helmers.com WWW site. Open Office Writer has several different variations of a page spanning horizontal rule line that can be invoked by a repeated pattern of three characters followed by the <ENTER> key. The result is a sort of minimal border for a box with no height. I found the following eight triplets producing variations on this concept in Open Office Writer:

--- <ENTER> yields:

_ _ _ <ENTER> yields:

*** <ENTER> yields:

= = = <ENTER> yields:

~~~ <ENTER> yields:

# # # <ENTER> yields:

 

Word 2003 does not seem to have this concept of a horizontal ruled line. There is an imperfect kluge for the simplest “---” form of horizontal ruled line: underline a whole line of spaces with one “period” or other small non blank character at the end of the line.

Here is an example of a boxed paragraph:

 

<START BOX> CH flag removed by hand when building box

This is an example of a boxed paragraph. In this case, OOWriter does not properly transform boxes done in word processing space into the boxes I want in my WWW site's space. The imported HTML of this paragraph has to be enclosed explicitly and manually in a standard “4” width box after being imported into the www.helmers.com site by Front Page 2003.

<END BOX> CH flag removed by hand when building box

and here is where I wanted to put in a hyperlink to a bookmark
