Use this page to define how much formatting to export.
Choose Tools - Options - Writer2xhtml - Formatting
Formatting export
Create separate style sheet
Check this if you want to create a separate CSS file in the export. Otherwise the CSS code will be exported embedded in the HTML document(s).
Text and paragraph formatting
This is used to specify how much text and paragrapg formatting to export.
- Convert all
  : Convert all supported formatting to CSS
- Ignore styles
  : Convert hard formatting but not formatting by styles. Use this value if you use a custom style sheet, but still want to be able to add some hard formatting (eg. a centered paragraph, some bold text etc.).
- Ignore hard formatting
  : Convert formatting by styles, but no hard formatting (except as given by attribute style mappings). Use this if the document is well structured using styles, so that any hard formatting should be considered an error.
- Ignore all
  : Convert no formatting at all. Use this value if you use a custom stylesheet and the document is well structured using styles, so that any hard formatting should be considered an error.
List formatting
Choose how to export list formatting.
- Convert all
  : Convert all supported formatting to CSS.
- Convert labels
  : Convert numbering and bullets, but use browser default for indentations.
- Convert label styles
  : Convert only the basic style of numbering and bullets. This is mainly intended for EPUB export, because EPUB readers often does not understand the more advanced CSS code used by "Convert all" and "Convert labels".
- Ignore all
  : Convert no list formatting at all, leaving everything to browser defaults or to a custom style sheet.
Frame formatting
This is used for the same purpose, but affects frame formatting only.
Convert section formatting
Check this if you want to export section formatting (background, margins).
Convert table formatting
Check this if you want to export table formatting.
Maximum text width
In this field you can give a maximum width (like e.g. 800px) for the exported text, which may enhance the readability. You can use any unit defined in CSS. If the browser window is wider than this, the text will be centered with suitable margins. Leave the field blank if you want the text to occupy the full width of the browser window.
