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.
