Running soffice --convert-to allows me to specify a custom output filter
name. Where can I full list of output filter names? In particular I am
looking for the name of the HTML output filter used for the HTML export
used through the UI. This filter is different from the one used when
running with --convert-to html soley.

Hi 
All i could find was this wiki-page
http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/About_Import_and_Export_Filters
last updated in May so i think things are likely to have moved on quite a
lot! Also i suspect there are add-ons/extensions that can add to the list.
I tried looking up release notes
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.5
which led me to
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.4.4_info_about_fixes
but there is not much detail listed in there. mostly it seems
broad-brushstrokes rather than fine-grained detail .
Apols and regards from
Tom
Sorry but all wiki pages don't list anything about output filter names.
-aj
Tom,
With the API and some Basic code from the good old Danny B. can do the job
gives us a 65 pages writer Doc.
Hope its helps

How is this related to my question?

Hi
I thought the original was asking for a list of all the filters available?
I think Fernand's coding gives a list of the filters in whichever version of libreOffice you happen to be running. As each new release comes out extra filters may have been added and apparently it is difficult to find documentation about which version has which filters. Sadly i have no idea how to run the coding even with the helpful comments! Hopefully you understand this better than me.
Regards from
Tom
aj,
Sorry i was thinking you where trie to find a list of all filternames
Greetz
Fernand
Tom ,
Copy the code in a Basic module and run !

I just need the name of the mentioned filter. I am not an OO hacker.
I just the the *one* name

aj,
sorry but tour original question:
Running soffice --convert-to allows me to specify a custom output filter
name.*Where can I full list* of output filter names? In particular I am
looking for the name of the HTML output filter used for the HTML export
used through the UI. This filter is different from the one used when
running with --convert-to html soley.
but after running the Basic code i found this list in LO 3.4

Hi
Superb. I feel it should be on a wiki-page or somewhere now that the list has been generated and the code available so that people can find their own list for their own version of LibreOffice. I just don't know a good place to put it.
Regards from
Tom
Since 8 years it has been here:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=3549 with documentation,
discussion links to related topics and everything.
The above code in this thread may not run when copied from browser or mail
client. It has too many syntax errors due to additional line breaks.
Hi
Ahh excellent. So there is a call for it. A wiki-page could heave a less
obscure title such as
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/FilterList
or perhaps something that office workers might understand. How about
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Formats
As for the quality of the code i was pretty impressed that it appeared so
quickly.
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3648970/good_code.png
good_code.png
Fernand Vanrie wrote the code faster than anyone was able to point to the
old link. The old link's most recent list was for OOo version 1.1 rc1 which
is a little out-of-date now. Fernand's list was for .4.x which is a lot
more up-to-date.

Tom
Tom,
I do not wrote the code, i "found" the code years ago on the web, like is mentionend the author is Danny B. (the man who disapeared but produced ton's of useful code)
