Hullo List,
Is there an API for working with LO programmatically? Rather than
create an ODF with the myriad of tools available, I'm looking to
directly invoke a LO object within a script.
I'm aware of the UNO bridge, but that requires a running instance of LO
and connection to it as an external service. What I'm looking for is a
way to create and manipulate a document -- with LO routines -- without
incurring unnecessary overhead. Perhaps as a library.
For the sake of argument, here might be an example Python script:
-----
import libreoffice as LO
textdoc = LO.createTextDocument()
textdoc.properties.Title = "My API Created Document"
textdoc.cursor = 0 # move cursor to document head
textdoc.insertText( "A sample line." )
textdoc.saveAs( "/path/to/a/file.odt" )
-----
After about 20 minutes of Googling, and random grepping through the code
base, I'm having no luck. Does such a beast exist?
Thanks,
Kevin
