Generating a odt file

users
#1

In the system I'm developing, I need to generate some odt documents.
Knowing a little about 'odt' file structure, I had the following idea:
- Create a document in libreoffice
- transform 'content.xml' with freemarker

But the generated document dont open and I dont know why. 'content.xml'
seems perfect.

This is my 'template' that opens pefectly.
boleto-xdoc-in.odt
<http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4109334/boleto-xdoc-in.odt>

An this is the generated document that dont open.
boleto-xdoc-out.odt
<http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4109334/boleto-xdoc-out.odt>

In same context, is there any tool that can 'diagnose' my files, showing
exactly what is the error?

Maybe you should subscribe to the developer mailing list and ask over there

Hi :slight_smile:
Is xml a standarised struture? I thought that each implementation allowed
radical differences. Isn't it similar to css where definitions happen in
the header section, or even in a completely different file or maybe even
hard-coded into an app?

If xml is standarised as an ISO format then surely there wouldn't be much
need for standisations of the various implementations, such as MS's in
their OOXML?

Do you have to use "Freemaker"? It is possible to use LO in headless mode
so that it can run from a command line and perform repetitive actions on a
number of files without opening them in the usual gui. I dunno what
Freemaker does so i could easily be wrong here which is why i am just
asking "if".
