Export wiki pages as OpenDocument (ODT)

Description

This plugin can convert a wiki page to an ​OpenDocument Text file (ODT). The file can be opened with any compatible office suite, such as OpenOffice, KOffice, IBM Symphony, etc. Currently, it has only been tested with OpenOffice.

Once installed, a new entry shows up below the Download in other formats section at the end of the page. Click and save to disk, and open with a compatible office suite such as OpenOffice.

The XSLT stylesheets come from the ​XHTML2ODT project.

Source

You can check out OdtExportPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source​ with Trac.

Installation

Refer to the Trac plugin documentation for details on how to build and install plugins and macros. You will probably have to enable the plugin by editing the components section of your trac.ini file: 

[components]
odtexport.* = enabled

After installing, a new alternative format should appear on the bottom of each wiki page, next to the "Plain Text" link.

Configuration

In trac.ini you can set a few options :

  • get_remote_images (boolean, defaults to true) : whether the plugin should download the remote images.
  • replace_keyword (string, defaults to TRAC-ODT-INSERT) : the string in the ODT template file to replace with the wiki page content. This keyword must be unstyled and alone on its own line. If not present, the wiki content will be appended to the template.
  • cut_start_keyword (string, defaults to TRAC-ODT-CUT-START) and cut_stop_keyword (string, defaults to TRAC-ODT-CUT-STOP) : the text between these strings in the ODT template will be removed. See note below for the reason for these tags.
  • dpi (integer, defaults to 96) : the screen DPI.
  • img_default_width (string, defaults to 8cm) : the width of an exported image when the plugin can't compute it.
  • img_default_height (string, defaults to 6cm) : the height of an exported image when the plugin can't compute it.
  • remove_macros (list, defaults to PageOutline, TracGuideToc, TOC) : the macros which will be removed on export. This is mainly because the table of contents should be handled in the ODT directly, not by generating a list of links. Warning, if these macros are in a sub-page included by the IncludeMacro (or similar), they will not be removed. In the specific case of IncludeMacro however, there is a patch available to fix that.

Those options must be placed under a [odtexport] section in the trac.ini file: 

[odtexport]
get_remote_images = False
replace_keyword = REPLACE_ME

About the TRAC-ODT-CUT-START and TRAC-ODT-CUT-STOP tags

In an ODT file, the only styles that will be saved are the styles which are applied to some content in the document. If you want to create an empty ODT document for this plugin, and still want to define styles which will be applied to the wiki content, you have to write some dummy text, apply the styles to this text, and surround the text in the TRAC-ODT-CUT-START and TRAC-ODT-CUT-STOP tags. This way, the styles will be retained in the ODT file, but the dummy text will be removed on export.

Choosing a template

The default template is named wikipage.odt. You can use a custom template by creating a file with this name and putting it in the templates directory of your Trac instance. This template will be used by default for all the pages.

You can also create other ODT files to be used as templates, and put them in the same directory. Then you can use a special macro in the wiki page to choose the template. This macro is OdtTemplate and can be used as such: [[OdtTemplate(my_other_template)]]. The .odt suffix will be appended, don't put it in the macro.

Finally, you can attach the template to the page, and use the OdtTemplate macro to select it.

The order of preference when looking for the template file is:

  1. in the page's attachments
  2. in the Trac instance's templates directory
  3. in the OdtExportPlugin's templates directory

The first preference that is found is used.
