Thanks for your interest. > I was wondering if it is a big deal to make your project apart of Org > thus it could be used with any version of Org. I am not sure how to answer this question. I am inclined to ask why you have hesitation in upgrading to the new (or the next) Org version? To give a circuitous answer, org-odt.el has now new dependecies on org-parse.el and org-newhtml.el. All these files are new. IIRC, Only changes that I have made to existing org-mode files are in org-export.el and org-footnotes.el. These changes are trivial. === Long Story === OpenOffice exporter that I have been working on has undergone quite a bit of change since the last recorded message in this mailing list. I am CCing the mailing list as it will be of general interest. Initially org-odt.el was based on org-html.el [1]. Subsequently Lennart Borgman refactored out org-html.el in to a backend-agnostic parsing engine org-parse.el and a html-specific org-newhtml.el [2]. Given this development, I thought that the right thing to do would be to "port" my changes over to Lennart's parsing engine. I have ported most of my local changes to the new interface. As a result I have abandoned my old work-area [3] in favour of the new work-area [4]. I would like to make few cosmetic changes to my repository before making a formal announcement sometime early next week seeking alpha-testers for the OpenOffice exporter.. Footnotes ========= [1] Lennart's announcement http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-11/msg00238.html [2] My reasons for not going the refactoring route http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-11/msg00226.html [3] Old OpenOffice Workarea http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-11/msg00109.html Unfortunately it was "copied" as opposed to "git cloned" so stands abandoned. [4] New OpenOffice Workarea and a "potential release candidate" http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-jambu.git/ Lennart's original org-parse.el and org-newhtml.el can be found under ./contrib/odt My own enhancements to org-parse.el, org-newhtml.el and the "new" org-odt.el can be found in ./lisp/ directory Jambunathan K. > Thanks for your help. > > Regards. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
