Styles
On this page you can define mappings from styles in %PRODUCTNAME Writer to your own LaTeX styles.
Choose Tools - Options - Writer2LaTeX - Styles
Style family
Select a style family:
- Character
  : Define LaTeX code for character styles
- Paragraph
  : Define LaTeX code for paragraph styles
- Paragraph block
  : Define LaTeX code for a block of paragraphs starting with a specific paragraph style.
- List
  : Define LaTeX code for list styles (e.g. enumerate or itemize).
- List item
  : Define LaTeX code for individual list items.
Style name
Select an %PRODUCTNAME Writer style name from the list.
New...
Click this button to add a new style to the list. Select a style in the list or type a style name.
Delete...
Click this button to delete the current style name from the list.
LaTeX code before
Enter the LaTeX code to add before this particular style, e.g. \begin{center} or \textbf{.
LaTeX code after
Enter the LaTeX code to add after this particular style, e.g. \end{center} or }.
Next style(s)
This is only used for paragraph blocks: Paragraphs formatted with a style from this list are included in the block.
Add...
Click this button to add another style to the list of next styles.
Remove...
Click this button to remove the current style from the list of next styles.
Verbatim content
Check this if you want to export the content as verbatim LaTeX. This implies that characters not available in the inputencoding are converted to question marks and that other content is discarded, eg. footnotes.
Line break inside
Check this if you want to add line breaks inside the LaTeX construction surrounding this element. You will probably want this for a construction like \begin{center}...\end{center} but not for a construction like \textbf{...}.
Load default mappings
Writer2LaTeX comes with a set of default style mappings corresponding to some of the predefined styles in %PRODUCTNAME Writer. Click this button to add these mappings to the current set. You will get a warning if this will overwrite one or more existing mappings.
Other styles
Select how you want to export paragraphs and text with a style for which no style mapping has been defined. This enables you to ensure that only content with accepted styles is exported.
- Ignore
  : The content is ignored silently.
- Convert
  : The content is converted as normal.
Other formatting
Select how you want to export formatting for styles that does not have a style mapping.
- Ignore all
  : Ignore all character, paragraph, heading, list and footnote formatting contained in the document.
- Ignore most
  : Convert basic character formatting.
- Convert basic
  : Convert basic character formatting, paragraph justification and all numberings (lists, headings, footnotes).
- Convert most
  : Convert all supported formatting, except that paragraph formatting and font size is only converted if it is set by a style. To be able to preserve formatting, an environment is created for all paragraph styles, custom lists are used for listings, headings are reformatted using the \@startsection command etc.
- Convert all
  : Convert all supported formatting.
