Open Document Format (ODF)
OpenDocument (ODF)
The OpenDocument format (ODF) is a free and open file format for
electronic office documents, such as spreadsheets, charts, presentations
and word processing documents. The specification is based on the XML
format originally created and implemented by the OpenOffice.org office
suite.
<oXygen/> XML Editor is the first tool which offers
developers support for editing, transforming and validating
documents composing the Open Document format (ODF) package directly
through the archive support.
The Archive Browser view
Now you can transform, validate and perform many other operations on
files inside an archive. When selecting an URL for a specific operation
like transformation or validation you can click the Browse for archive
file button to navigate and choose the file from a certain
archive.
After an archive is opened in the Archive Browser files from it can be
edited in <oXygen/> and then saved back to the archive. You have many
useful options to modify the archive structure or extract files from it.
Editing OpenDocument files
A complete framework is offered in <oXygen/> providing powerful
support for editing and validating documents from the OpenDocument
format (ODF) zipped package.
Validation is done using the latest Open Office ODF Documents version 1.1 Relax NG
Schemas.
You can easily create new ODF documents using the document templates
provided by <oXygen/> for Open Office Presentation, Spreadsheet and
Text Document.
Comparing OpenDocument files
With the <oXygen/> Directories Comparison tool you can compare and
merge OpenDocument format (ODF) files or other ZIP-based archives
seamlessly. The archive files are presented as directories allowing the
usual comparison and merge operations inside them.
