HTML compatibility
Choices made on the Load/Save – HTML Compatibility page affect HTML pages imported into
LibreOffice and those exported from LibreOffice. See HTML documents; importing/exporting in the
Help for more information.
Figure 36. Choosing HTML compatibility options
Font sizes
Use these fields to define the respective font sizes for the HTML <font size=1> to <font
size=7> tags, if they are used in the HTML pages. (Many pages no longer use these tags.)
Import – Use 'English (USA)' locale for numbers
When importing numbers from an HTML page, the decimal and thousands separator
characters differ according to the locale of the HTML page. The clipboard, however, contains
no information about the locale. If this option is not selected, numbers will be interpreted
according to the Locale setting in Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages
(see page 54). If this option is selected, numbers will be interpreted as for the English (USA)
locale.
Import – Import unknown HTML tags as fields
Select this option if you want tags that are not recognized by LibreOffice to be imported as
fields. For an opening tag, an HTML_ON field will be created with the value of the tag name.
For a closing tag, an HTML_OFF will be created. These fields will be converted to tags in the
HTML export.
Import – Ignore font settings
Select this option to have LibreOffice ignore all font settings when importing. The fonts that
were defined in the HTML Page Style will be used.
Export
To optimize the HTML export, select a browser or HTML standard from the Export box. If
LibreOffice Writer is selected, specific LibreOffice Writer instructions are exported.
Export – LibreOffice Basic
Select this option to include LibreOffice Basic macros (scripts) when exporting to HTML
format. You must activate this option before you create the LibreOffice Basic macro;
otherwise the script will not be inserted. LibreOffice Basic macros must be located in the
header of the HTML document. Once you have created the macro in the LibreOffice Basic
IDE, it appears in the source text of the HTML document in the header.
