XHTML Export (Writer)
Exports the current document to XHTML format.
Choose File - Export - XHTML 1.0 strict
or File - Export - XHTML 1.1
or File - Export - XHTML 1.1 + MathML 2.0
or File - Export - XHTML 1.1 + MathML 2.0 (xsl)
Style
Select the style to use for the XHTML document
Use style
This option allows you to choose between various styles to apply to the XHTML document.
- Original formatting
  produces an XHTML document which uses the same style as the original document. The document will look quite similar to the original when viewed in a browser.
- Chocolate, Midnight, Modern, Oldstyle, Steely, Swiss, Traditional and Ultramarine
  formats the document with one of the 8 core styles
  provided by the World Wide Web Consortium.
- Custom
  is a user defined format. You can define your own style by providing a CSS style sheet and a mapping from Writer styles to your CSS styles. To configure the custom format, choose Tools - Options - Writer2xhtml.
Expert users can extend the list with further formats using configuration packages. See the documentation on the web site for Writer2xhtml.
Select a scaling to apply to all dimensions in the document
Scaling
Viewing the document in a web browser may require different dimensions (e.g. font sizes) than the original document.
Using this option you can define a percentage used to scale all dimensions. Thus with the setting 140, all dimensions will be 40% larger than in the original document. Depending on the style you have selected and on the setting for image size below, some dimensions may be unaffected by this option.
Select a scaling to apply to all column dimensions in the document
Column scaling
This is a similar option, which only affects table columns. Thus you can further widen or narrow the columns of the tables if you wish.
Check this if you want to convert all units to px rather than using the original units
Convert units to px (pixels)
In %PRODUCTNAME, font sizes are usually given in points and other dimensions in e.g. cm or inches.
For XHTML it is recommended to use the unit px instead, and using this option you can require that all dimensions are converted to px.
If you choose not to check this option, the original units will always be used.
Check this to use the natural size of images rather than the size defined in the document
Use original image size
Often images in a %PRODUCTNAME document are scaled up or down from their original size. Normally the same scaling will be used in the exported document, but if you select this option, the original (unscaled) image size will be used.
Special content
Check this if you want to export notes (annotations) in the document
Export notes
If you select this option, notes (also known as annotations) in the %PRODUCTNAME document are exported as comments in the XHTML document. They will not be directly visible in the browser, only in the XHTML source. If the option is not selected, notes are completely ignored.
Check this if you want to export all meta data (using the Dublin Core standard)
Export document properties (Dublin Core Meta data)
If you select this option, the document properties (File – Properties) are exported using the Dublin Core standard.
AutoCorrect
Ignore hard line breaks
Check this if you don't want to export hard (manual) line breaks
Sometimes hard (or manual) line breaks are used in Writer to optimize the placement of the line breaks. Since line breaking in a browser is completely different, you may want to ignore all hard line breaks by selecting this option.
Check this if you don't want to export empty paragraphs
Ignore empty paragraphs
Empty paragraphs are sometimes used a simple means to create vertical spacing in Writer. In a well-structured document, an empty paragraph is probably a mistake. Hence you can select this option to ignore empty paragraphs in the document in the export.
Check this to treat several spaces as a single space in the export
Ignore double spaces
For similar reasons you can choose to ignore two or more spaces in a row using this option.
Files
Split document at headings
Check this to create a new document for each heading
To make a long Writer document easier to read in the browser, you can use this option to split the document in several small files.
Writer2xhtml will add a simple navigation panel that lets you move between pages. The navigation links will be in the same language as the document (as defined under Tools – Options – Language Settings – Languages).
Note that this option has no effect for headings inside tables.
Select the heading level at which the spliting should occur
Heading level
If you have chosen to split the document at headings, you can use this option to define at which level splitting should occur. For example 2 to split the document at all headings of level 1 or 2.
Repeat heading levels
Select the number of heading levels to repeat at the top of new documents
To help the reader to identify the current position within the document, you can use this option to repeat the parent headings whenever the document is split. If you for example split at headings of level 3 and set this option to 2, the headings of level 1 and 2 will be repeated before the heading of level 3, providing precise information as to where in the document the section belongs.
Check this to save images in a subdirectory relative to the exported document
Save images in subdirectory
Writer2xhtml normally saves images associated with the document in the same directory as the XHTML document. If the document contains a large number of images it may be more convenient to save the images in a separate subdirectory. This option will create a subdirectory with the same name as the XHTML document to store the images.
XSLT path
Enter the path to pmathml.xsl and pmathmlcss.xsl
If you choose the export filter XHTML 1.1 + MathML 2.0 (xsl), two XSLT style sheets provided by the World Wide Web Consortium are required. If they are not available in the same directory as the exported document, you can give the path here.
