| Summary | 0009858: Importing ODT Character styles ignored/not-imported | ||||
| Description | Hi, when importing a ODT doc, paragraph styles are OK but I receive prepared document with character styles as well, text contains tens/hundreds inline character styles and when importing to Scribus it is lost. Now one has to correct manually according to original text. Please implement/repair import so it imports even character styles. Thank you | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. create a doc in OO/LibreOffice 2. select a work in a text and apply character style (like Emphasis) 3. import into Scribus 4. character style is ignored | ||||
| Additional Information | Update as of r20681 (per Ben in 0009858:0038101) Testing the new importer under Linux, I don't yet see any change relating to this feature request. Understanding that my goal is to have text that is brought in from OpenOffice/LibreOffice correctly show paragraph and character style tagging that was applied in OO/LO so that styles of the same name (but perhaps very different appearance) that exist in Scribus can automatically take effect in the Scribus document. As of 20681, when I watch the text section of the properties window while moving my cursor though imported text, I still see 1. Paragraph style tagging was correctly brought in 2. Spaces within the names of OO/LO paragraph styles have been turned into _20_ (unfortunate since spaces are legal in Scribus style names and exist in many of the OO/LO standard styles) 3. Character style tagging was not imported. (These areas have a paragraph style, but the character style shows as "No Style.") | ||||

I am unable to reproduce the issue. It is working for me as expected. Can you please upload a sample file? I am using 1.4.0svn r16470 |
|
|
Works ok, please upload the sample file as Jain suggests. |

Hi, scribus 1.4.0 svn from March 17th 2011. The ODT file is written in LibreOffice 3.3.1 and contains my style for paragraph and three inline character styles. The scribus doc doesn't show imported character styles. Thank you! |
|
|
any news? has anybody beeen able to reproduce it? |
|
|
Yes, I can reproduce! Very very important bug to fix!!! Reading local character formatting is one of most important features for text layout application!!! |
|
|
Any progress? |
|
|
i've made some research but it's still too hard for me to fix |
|
|
Has it been working in a previous version ? If so, what date / version featured correct ODT character style import ? |
|
|
I don't think it has ever worked. |

I am new to the Scribus / Open Office environment. I supply tech support to a DIY publishing company. The lack of character style import is a serious oversight. Most of the manuscripts in work are plays which use character styles within dialog paragraphs to identify: - character/role/speaker - stage instructions - lighting tech instructions - sound tech instructions. The intended use of Scribus is to generate PDF's for both actor scripts and tech scripts. And, to generate the submission files for Create-Space and Amazon as needed for paper backs and eBooks. All from the same "body" ODT files. The platform is CentOS-6.5, Scribus v1.4.3, OO build 4.0.4.2-9.el6, and Python 2.6.6. |

There may be two kinds of character styles discussed above: system styles like "Bold" and user-defined character styles, which have a name, e.g. "Strong Emphasis" in the attached files. The latter might be easier to import, since Scribus has a parallel mechanism (applied in the Properties window). They're also more important to me, since I use them to enforce consistency. For example, given a paragraph "Figure 1. Some picture of something...", the entirety might receive a paragraph style of "Caption," while the phrase "Figure 1." might be assigned a character style of "Caption Title" in addition to the paragraph style to set just that phrase in boldface. Currently the paragraph style maps correctly on import and the user must remember to manually reapply all character styles as part of the revision workflow. This happens often enough (figure captions and revisions) that import of user-defined character style tagging would be a valuable improvement. Additional sample files available on request.

OSX 10.10.5 1.5.1svn r20670 Testing franz's new ODT importer I can import the .odt file fine now and see all the character styles (AFAICT) even though i don't have the appropriate fonts installed. When I open the attached .sla.gz file i don't see any of the formatting. |

Testing the new importer under Linux, I don't yet see any change relating to this feature request. Understanding that my goal is to have text that is brought in from OpenOffice/LibreOffice correctly show paragraph and character style tagging that was applied in OO/LO so that styles of the same name (but perhaps very different appearance) that exist in Scribus can automatically take effect in the Scribus document. As of 20681, when I watch the text section of the properties window while moving my cursor though imported text, I still see 1. Paragraph style tagging was correctly brought in 2. Spaces within the names of OO/LO paragraph styles have been turned into _20_ (unfortunate since spaces are legal in Scribus style names and exist in many of the OO/LO standard styles) 3. Character style tagging was not imported. (These areas have a paragraph style, but the character style shows as "No Style.") |

Updated summary |
|
|
Assigning ticket to Franz since it's ODT importer related. 2 remaining issues: 1) spaces are turned in to _20_ 2) Character styles are not imported |
|
|
As mentioned in 0013001, the _20_ problem (Kunda's number 1 above) only exists in the importer named "OpenOffice.org Writer Documents," not the new importer "ODT Document," which appears to re-implement a functionality subset (see issue 0013643) from the old "OpenDocument Text Documents" and took its place in the importer drop-down list. Suggested relationship: 0013643 |
|
|
Maybe we can close this one since ODT imported have such feature (support for character styles)? |
|
|
for me, it works as expected on Scribus 1.6.2. odt first sample file's text is imported along with italic and bold words, and paragraph style name. It requires the used font to exist with requested variant. There is no warning when it doesnt exist on importing system. |
|
|
in new ODT importer there are issues, I will open a new bug for that - cf. https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,5180.0.html . |
