Changelog for Writer2LaTeX version 0.5 -> 1.0

[all] Bugfix: Removed PreferredFilter propery from type definitions (makes sense
  only for import filters)

[all] Changed unix startscript: By default assume that w2l and writer2latex are
  in the same directory (thus using dirname $0), and assume that the java executable
  is either in the PATH or the location is defined by JAVA_HOME
  (which these assumptions manual editing of the script is usually not required)

[all] Added french translation from Jacques Lamoine

[w2l] The option simple_table_limit now refers to the *total* width of the table

[w2x] Bugfix: Internal hyperlinks to tables, sections, frames and graphics now

  This is now recognized by w2l, which implies that GraphicConverter
  implementations can use SVM files from a package
  
[w2x] New uno service org.openoffice.da.writer2xhtml.BatchConverter
  provides batch conversion via uno. Interaction with the user can be implemented
  using the interface org.openoffice.da.writer2xhtml.XBatchHandler

[w2x] Batch processing from the command line can now be cancelled (using the Enter key)

[all] API: Created new API for batch conversion

  (null character)

[w2x] Filter ui bugfix: Default value for RepeatLevels changed from

[w2x] Filter: The xhtml export now uses it's own custom configuration
  (writer2xhtml.xml, also stored in the user configuration of OOo)

[w2l] Tabstops are now exported as \ \ , which usually is closer to
  the expectations of the user (and is not ignored at the beginning of a par.)

  and run Writer2LaTeX with support for only one format

  set to false (default), rows and columns that are hidden or filtered are not
  exported

[all] Filter: Translated dialogs to Danish

  (needs support for localized dialogs)

[w2l] Added ui option "Support additional symbols". This sets all the

[all] Bugfix: The class w2l.xmerge.DOMDocument did not throw IOException when
  trying to read a non-xml document

  (relevant if it's called several times for the same converter instance)

  from Application to a separate class

  the class writer2latex.util.Config

  document header/footer

[all] Added package descriptions to the javadoc

[w2l] Always export non-breaking space as ~ even if inputenc  supports it
  directly - non-breaking spaces are usually not easy to identify in text editors

[w2x] New option: xhtml_add_bom (default false), if set to true
  a BOM will be added at the start of generated xhtml files

  XHTML 1.1 + MathML 2.0

[w2l] Added support for the latin language

[w2l] Removed article.xml from w2l - it now belongs to Writer4LaTeX

[all] The distribution now includes a sample configuration
  package: xhtml-config-sample.oxt

[all] Filter: Split the filter component into two extensions:
  writer2latex.oxt for LaTeX and BibTeX, writer2xhtml.oxt for xhtml

[all] API: In the GraphicConverter interface, the method

[w2l] Added support for *numbered* display equations: If paragraph
  contains exactly one equation and exactly one sequence field (and otherwise
  only whitespace and brackets), it treated as a numbered equation

[w2l] I18n: If several characters in a row are converted using math mode, they
  are now combined (ie. ${\alpha}{\beta}$ rather than ${\alpha}$${\beta}$)

[all] Extended FilterData to support the property AutoCreate. If set to true,
  the configuration file will be created if it does not exist

[w2l] Even if formatting=IGNORE_ALL, we should still obey character style maps

[o2x] New option xhtml_notes. If true notes (annotations) are exported to xhtml
  comments, if false they are ignored

[c2x] Convert notes (annotations)

[w2l] Heading formatting: The prefix and suffix to the counter should not be
  included in \thesection, but rather in the formatting. This means that the
  prefix and suffix no longer will be exported if formatting=CONVERT_BASIC

[w2l] Added support for chapter references to reference marks and bookmarks
  (if the marks are contained in a heading)

[w2l] New option external_bibtex_files gives a list of BibTeX files. If nonempty,

  \date and pdf metadata, as well as pdf metadata (if use_hyperref is true)

[all] Filters/API: Changed filternames to the more obvious
  org.openoffice.da.writer2latex etc.

[w2l] Updated clean.xml and ultraclean.xml. Both configurations
  now exports predefined Writer styles (like article.xml)

[w2x] New option: xhtml_repeat_levels defines the number of heading
  levels to repeat when splitting a file (0 means no levels are repeated)

[w2x] Allow xhtml templates without header and footer elements

[w2x] Bugfix (w2l.office.ListCounter): OpenDocument does not use

[w2x] Added support for other list styes applied to headings

[w2x] Added support for text:restart-numbering, text:is-list-header on headings

[w2x] No longer add hr and [] to links in navigation (the template and style
  sheet should take care of this)

[all] New filter configuration concept: Configuration packages containing an OOo
  template, a w2l configuration and registry information to bind these together:
  When a configuration package is installed in OOo, the configuration is added
  to the filter ui, and is preselected for documents based on the OOo template

[all] Repackaging: Distribution files are included in source, build
  file is extended to create the distribution; source distribution is separated

[all] Changed to new extension format (.oxt)

[all] Filter: Added messagebox to display the error in case an
  exception happens during conversion

[all] Moved default configurations to jar; the FilterData property
  can refer to these using the special url *filename.xml

  used to specify options, configuration fil (url) and xhtml template (url)
