A lucky star for your son, Rob.

As for OpenDocument, my needs would be :

- Exporting from RV component to OpenDocument file or stream (equivalent of SaveRTF)
- Pasting from OpenDocument clipboard into RV component (equivalent of PasteRTF)
- All of that being fully integrated into my app (no DLL), ideally thanks to a simple RV add-on library

Rob, would (or will) your tool support those features ?

@MLefebvre:

My first goal is to be able to load OpenDocument files is an acceptable manner. After this, I will shift focus to saving and pasting.

The functionality of the addon will be similar to that of the HTML importer/exporter. So, no DLL.

Development update:

Importing OpenDocument files appears to be quite challenging to say at least. Due to some limitations, not all options of all documents can be supported. My primary focus at the moment is still reading the documents in the best way possible.

The output file can be substantially different from the input file, which is something I need to investigate further.
