Roadmap
This page lists the plans for the next few versions of Writer2LaTeX.
Version 1.2
These features are planned for the following stable version:
Better integration with OOo: Add user interface to edit custom configuration.
Better integration with OOo: Provide help files.
Writer2LaTeX: Support XeTeX, including fontspec.sty and polyglossia.sty.
Writer2LaTeX: Support the packages titlesec.sty, titletoc.sty, soul.sty and multirow.sty.
Support various new features in the OpenDocument format.
Improved support for graphics, eg. cropping and downscaling.
Memory optimization: Writer2LaTeX should use less memory in order to be able to process larger documents.
Writer4LaTeX: New extension facilitating the use of OOo Writer as a LaTeX frontend, combining OOo+Writer2LaTeX with a TeX distribution. This extension will also provide support for importing of existing LaTeX documents (using TeX4ht).
Ensure compatibility with alternative Java implementations (mainly gcj/gij)
Writer2LaTeX 1.2 will require at least OpenOffice.org 3.0 and JRE 5.
Version 1.x
These features are planned for the following releases
Writer2LaTeX: Bibliographic enhancements
Support for presentations (Impress2xhtml).
Writer2xhtml: Improved navigation features for batch conversion.
Support master documents.
Writer2web : New extension providing a simple GUI for batch conversion. This will facilitate easier publishing of static web pages from Writer and Calc documents.
And more, ideas are welcome...
