-This directory contains idl specifications for the custom uno interfaces
-defined by the Writer2LaTeX and Writer2xhtml extensions 
-
-To avoid dependencies on the OOo SDK in the build process, compiled versions
-are included here.
-
-If you need to rebuild it, the complete SDK is required. These are the steps: 
-
-To create the registry database for Writer2LaTeX:
-
-idlc -I<path to SDK>\idl XW2LStarMathConverter.idl
-regmerge writer2latex.rdb /UCR XW2LStarMathConverter.urd
-
-To create the java interface
-
-javamaker -BUCR -Torg.openoffice.da.writer2latex.XW2LStarMathConverter -nD <path to the OOo installation>\program\types.rdb writer2latex.rdb
-
-and likewise for Writer2xhtml:
-
-idlc -I<path to SDK>\idl XBatchConverter.idl
-regmerge writer2xhtml.rdb /UCR XBatchConverter.urd
-
-To create the java interfaces
-
-javamaker -BUCR -Torg.openoffice.da.writer2xhtml.XBatchConverter -nD <path to the OOo installation>\program\types.rdb writer2xhtml.rdb
-javamaker -BUCR -Torg.openoffice.da.writer2xhtml.XBatchHandler -nD <path to the OOo installation>\program\types.rdb writer2xhtml.rdb
-
-
-If you need to use the interfaces from C++ you will also need to run cppumaker
