Formatting
Use this page to define how much formatting to export.
Choose Tools - Options - Writer2xhtml - Formatting
Formatting
This is used to specify how much text formatting (character, paragraph and list formatting) to export.
- Convert all
  : Convert all supported formatting to CSS
- Ignore styles
  : Convert hard formatting but not formatting by styles. Use this value if you use a custom style sheet, but still want to be able to add some hard formatting (eg. a centered paragraph, some bold text etc.).
- Ignore hard formatting
  : Convert formatting by styles, but no hard formatting (except as given by attribute style mappings). Use this if the document is well structured using styles, so that any hard formatting should be considered an error.
- Ignore all
  : Convert no formatting at all. Use this value if you use a custom stylesheet and the document is well structured using styles, so that any hard formatting should be considered an error.
Frame formatting
This is used for the same purpose, but affects frame formatting only.
Convert section formatting
Check this if you want to export section formatting (background, margins).
Convert table formatting
Check this if you want to export table formatting.
Ignore table dimensions
Check this if you do not want table dimensions (table width, column width and row height) to be exported, but want to leave the layout of the tables to the browser.
List formatting
Choose how to export list formatting.
- Use CSS1
  : List formatting is exported using CSS1. This only provides basic support for list labels, and currently the browsers default indentations are used.
- Use CSS1 and non-standard lists
  : This value is used to fix a problem with continued lists. If you select this value, Writer2xhtml will export a list that continues on level 2 or below like
  <ol><ol><li>...</li></ol></ol>
  This is not valid in XHTML, but works in browsers. Also two deprecated attributes are used to continue numbering.
- Use hard labels
  : If select this value, list labels are exported as part of the text. This adds full support for list labels (e.g. labels of the form 1.2.3). Unlike the other values indentations of the list are exported as well.
