Steven RosenbergDebian 13 update:The new LibreOffice packages did solve one of my Bookwoom bugs -- I wasn't able to open encrypted files created in newer LO on Fedora.In Trixie LO it's no problem.<a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/libreoffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libreoffice</a>

But I can do the exports on my Win10 box, and .... OMG the EPUB3 generation is SO MUCH CLEANER than pandoc, let alone the flaming dumpster fire that LibreOffice generates using libepubgen. My dude, I owe you a solid. I'm totally giving you an acknowledgment in my next book. Let me know how you'd like to be credited. HEY <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/LibreOffice" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a> guys? You might want to ditch libepubgen entirely and talk to Doitsu about making Writer2xhtml the new OFFICIAL STANDARD EPUB/XHTML export mechanism of LibreOffice. It is so much better I can hardly even begin to explain.

I write in <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/LibreOffice" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a>. The big bête noire is the conversion from ODT to EPUB3, of which LibreOffice (or rather, libepubgen) does an utterly godawful job, which will likely never be fixed because libepubgen is a piece of v0.1.1 beta-quality-at-best abandonware. It WORKS, but it generates utterly hideous XHTML that is so opaque it is not in any meaningful sense editable after the fact. It's barely even readable. There is a document conversion tool called pandoc that can convert ODT to EPUB3. But its ODT reader module is broken, so I have to cross-save to DOCX first, which introduces errors and issues of its own. And pandoc does bizarrely inscrutable things to document structure that need a lot of manual repair, if the source document doesn't match its structural expectations. There exists a plugin for Sigil that imports ODT to EPUB3 in a direct step. This offers a lot of promise — IF I can get Sigil working on my Linux box. There seems to be an egl/OpenGL problem that I'm having trouble tracking down...

Sean FenianUff da. BLURSDAY. Writing like heck. Dealing with legal issues. Spent all of yesterday manually restructuring and reformatting an EPUB novella (which is currently <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVSFHS2J" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">on a free-book promotion starting tomorrow</a>) that I needed to add a section to, because <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/LibreOffice" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a>'s EPUB export is so godawful (or more accurately, libepubgen generates such godawful EPUBs) that they're not in any meaningful sense editable after generation WITHOUT completely rebuilding them almost from the ground up. I'm working on a novel and a short story collection, interleaved, as parts occur to me on each. A minor side character in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRZ4ZJ66" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fireborn</a>, an accident-prone mason, turns out to have a deeper than expected back-story. I've spent all of today writing his story. (He has a name, now; he is now Niklas.) I lost track of which day it was. Thought it was still Friday, not Saturday. Almost forgot to wish <a href="https://beige.party/@Waitnwallflower" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Waitnwallflower@beige.party</a> a happy birthday. BLURSDAY. IT'S ALL BLURSDAY.

Wolność w Kieszeni.plMicrosoft kolejny raz blokuje konto, tym razem dewelopera LibreOffice.Po poprzednim incydencie, kiedy to Microsoft na polecenie administracji Trumpa zablokował konta prokuratora Miedzynarodowego Trybunału Karnego, przyszedł czas na kolejne blokady. Tym razem trafiło na konkurencję - dewelopera LibreOffice Mike Kagansky. Powodem miały być "działania naruszające umowę o świadczenie usług". Jak się okazuje, działaniami tymi było wysłanie zwykłego technicznego maila. Żadne próby odblokowania konta jak dotąd nie odniosły pozytywne to skutku. Ze względu na nietypowe problemy przy odblokowaniu konta wątpliwe jest żeby była to przypadkowa blokada.

NegativePrimesLibreOffice Writer has been very slow for me, another reason I didn't like it (I have several).
