Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52414
HTML Export: Links with additional formatting in some of the text creates multiple links
Last modified: 2013-02-07 21:59:58 UTC
If I create a document which has a hyperlink, and the hyperlink has one or two words highlightd and styled, such as made italics or bold, the whole hyperlink appears as one, but is actually many hyperlinks strung together. When exporting as HTML or looking at the underlying OpenDocument XML, you can see many links. This poses a usability/maintenance/accessibility problem, especially when it comes to saving this as web content. I have attached two documents: 1) linkTest.odt -- the original document. See the contents.xml inside it to see the multiple link elements. 2) content.xml -- this is updated to remove the redundancy, and more importantly, to semantically ensure one link element. (When I created a copy of the first document, deleted content.xml from it and added this one in its place, it loaded fine, but OpenOffice immediately converted it into multiple link elements again. I believe this needs to be resolved urgently to allow useful web page filtering, and improved interoperability with other OpenDocument applications.
