from a chat with Ross:
<snip/>
[16:22:51] Johannes Schäfer :
one quick question: did graphics work from MSWord?
[16:23:39] Ross Gardler :
To be honest I really can't remember. I know I got them to work in the
OOo plugin and therefore they should work. But whether they were tested or
not...
[16:24:13] Johannes Schäfer :
there're none in the sample pages, so I assumed they don't work (ooo
works indeed)
[16:25:39] Ross Gardler :
I'd suggest looking to see if you can get the interim document that is
output from the MSWord generator and seeing what there is in there. They
should be in the produced zip (at least I think the generator produces a
zip - it really has been a long time)
[16:29:51] Ross Gardler :
To see what the MS generator creates try adding the following to
input.xml in the plugin:
[16:30:34] Ross Gardler :
<map:match pattern="**.OOo.xml">
<map:when test="{project:content.xdocs}{uri}.doc">
<map:match type="regexp" pattern="^(.*?)([^/]*).xml$">
<map:generate src="{project:content.xdocs}{1}{2}.doc"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
[16:30:51] Ross Gardler :
You may need to use a binary serialiser if it does produce a zip
<snip/>
[16:34:17] Ross Gardler : yes - the only reason it is not there is the
license issue. Perhaps you could dump what you have in SVN on the
sourceforge project then if anyone wants to get at what we are discussing
they can - I don't care about the license issues at the moment (it is all
open source stuff)
[16:35:32] Ross Gardler :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/forrestplugins/ <snip/>
Ross dumped "his" plugins there. Thanks!
