Conversion from LibreOffice to ASCIIDOC

[Leslie Satenstein]

Is there a way to convert a LibreOffice markup / clear document to ASCIIDOC?

The LibreOffice change tracking and collaboration allows one to markup a document and to have others (in succession) accept, reject, modify, delete, comment

on the document.

I have attached a 200 page LibreOffice document and would like a way to port it to asciidoc.

Even if it is not 100 portable, at least have the majority of work completed.

The option in Word is no called something like "Save as Filtered HTML”. It still has a bunch of Word-isms but is much better. It’s mostly correct HTML, but uses many deprecated features.

Worst part of the conversions I did were bulleted lists. The documents I needed to convert had 6 level deep lists where the nesting was semantically important. It also had lists that skipped levels and other unnatural things. I was converting to HTML so didn’t need the pandoc stuff so your mileage will vary.

I successfully converted the KiCad manuals into Asciidoc format using a
more convoluted but more precise method: I converted the odt into rest
with a friend of mine python script:

https://pypi.org/project/metapensiero.odt2sphinx/

and then using pandoc for the rest to asciidoc conversion...

Good luck!

Hope you don't mind if I bounce the thread again into the asciidoc
mailing list...

The thing is: using _any_ lightweight markup language is preferable
against an apparently simpler and more ubiquitous ODT format for many
reasons:

- is revision control aware
- is easily translatable via po4a (https://github.com/mquinson/po4a)
- different translations are manageable all at the same time
- there is a separation between format and content that easy the
translation efforts
- the tasks of authors and translators are separate and independent
- the production of different kind of documents are automatic
- you can check the document validity before commits
