Re: [dev] Migrating to new ODF

Hello Andrew,

   1. You get a ZIP file error, as it seems you are loading a flat XML file
   (all XML in one file without ZIP).
   The usual suffix is ODT and your file's suffix is FODT.
   Drag & Drop your input file into a text editor or try to unzip it. :-)
   2. The broken links are a combination mistake of Michael and me, I have
   not fixed it as I am chewing on an 8-year-old source code generation
   problem.
   But I am getting closer...
   3. Example Code can be found in the test folder of ODFDOM, but you are
   absolutely right it should be better documented. Any suggestions on where
   to place it?
   Considering switching the HTML generation from old proprietary (no
   longer supported) Apache Markdown to HTML conversion with Sphinx - created
   for API documentation in the first place.

Good luck and happy holidays!
Svante
