LibreOffice, open source software and open standards. These are the three things you can read about on my blog. I'll try to keep you updated on news and events in Denmark.

Export from OpenOffice to Freemind
I just launched a new extension that exports the structure of headings in a text document to Freemind 0.8 format.
Quite nice if you need to get an overview of a large document.
Hello Leif, that's interesting work, and I guess I can find productive use for it.
I found two problems so far :
- HTML encoded characters remain in entries and also in the name of the file you create. For instance "my doc.odt" will be converted in "my%20doc.mm". Maybe that's a specific of my using it under Windows ?
- Special characters are not escaped, which means (amid other things) that entries with double quotes will create syntax errors in the mm file.
hello, i downloaded your extension last week via libreoffice extensions. It almost works, but two things i want to ask: The german Umlauts are not exported. Any chance to fix it? I detected, that sometimes the created mm-file is empty, but no errors or any logs are shown. Is it possible to view the export process in detail, if exporting fails?
