[OS X TeX] Looking texh4t and OpenDocument feedback

[Simon Spiegel]

Hi everybody,

since there now is an Alpha Version of NeoOffice 2 which is based on  
OpenOffice 2 and supports the OpenDocument format, I started playing
around with tex4ht a bit. My main motivation is to get my PhD thesis  
in a form which can be handled easily be non-Latex users. I don't  
know yet if my publisher supports LaTeX and I'm also thinking far  
ahead of possible translations into other languages. After a bit of  
tweaking I actually managed to generat a swx file which NeoOffice =20
could open. At the moment, this file doesn't look so nice: No  
graphics have been imported, strange things happend with some special  
characters and the first letter of every bibliography entry was cut  
off. I'm sure that I can improve the result, but I wanted to know  
from other people who have experience with this setup: Is this a  
working solution for long, complex documents, is it actually worth  
totry to finetune my document?

TIA

simon
