Re: Flat XML ODF support in Abiword

Yeah, it might be small indeed. There are only two things to do:

1) Instead of reading data from different xml streams of a zip file,
read them from different nodes of the same xml file. The tag names
should actually be the same apart of the root element. Look for details
how we generate the flat/zipped odf in
writerperfect/filter/OdtGenerator.cxx in libwpd's git.

2) Embedded images are base64 encoded inside <office:binary-data> tags
and OLE objects inside <office:ole> or something like this tags.

I am not at all familiar how did the Nokia people implement the odf back
then, but to an experienced hacker, this would take some 1-2 days of
serious coding IMHO.

Cheers
