I also would appreciate the OASIS OpenDocument format supported by TRichview.
For a new project in the future, we think about switching from RTF format in text-blob fields within databases to OASIS OpenDoc.

Working on it...

OpenDocukment support will be made available through a separate importer. Features supported cannot be disclosed at this moment, since a lot of work still has to be done.

There will not be full support for all aspects of the OD specification, since TRichView does not support all features.

At this moment, simple text and styles can be loaded through the importer.

Question for anyone interested in OpenDocument support:

Which features do you really need first?

Latest news on progress:

Improved global styles parsing.

Nothing more at the moment. A bit lack of time due to my new born son

Born in good health on November 17th, 8:16 am, weighing 3860 gr and a length of 55 cm. Mother and son are doing fine.
