Hi Is there a way to use OO to create a SDB article and then just do a cut and paste, or a way so I can have a local view of how the article will look rather than use the web preview?
I don't know about OpenOffice extension that can render wiki text, which would be necessary for local work. The other option is to install your local MediaWiki instance, but we don't have simple rpm that will include all stuff to get the same layout as opensuse.org sites. There is no much interest that will justify time to create rpm. I installed MediaWiki from scratch. It takes time as in the local instance you don't need some extensions that Novell uses, so plain copy of SVN will not work, but then once done it can be backed up and reused as many times as you need. Fast table creation would be the only way to use OpenOffice to simplify the task of wiki editing, but it didn't work well for me. Attempt to put together a table gave few tags that weren't rendered. Manual intervention will take approximately the same time like making such table from scratch. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
