rendering is quite constrained by the ODF spec but there are still some undefined areas; especially how an ODF consumer should handle contradictory constraints is not specified at all, things like what should we do with a table width of 10cm with 4 rows that are 5cm wide each. also there are things that affect rendering that are not obvious, for example having a hyphenation extension for the document language installed or not (or just one that does hyphenation differently) may have an effect on the layout. > If you want a standardized rendering, you need to look at some other > format, like PDF perhaps? Or TeX ;) yes PDF will certainly have the highest layout fidelity. that goes hand in hand with it being not easily editable :) _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
