Extension:Collection/OpenDocument Export

Overview
The planned extension shall make it possible to export single pages or Collections in OpenDocument Text format (.odt).

See this press release Wikis Go Printable for background information on this project.

The desired output format of the article collections can be chosen on a special MediaWiki page which provides download links for the various formats.

Generating ODF from the DOM
The DOM is generated by a python library (mwlib) and could be translated to ODF using the py-odf tools.

xhtml -> docbook -> odf
One possible option to convert wiki syntax to ODF is docbook2odf (GPL), a toolkit that automatically converts DocBook to OASIS OpenDocument (ODF, the ISO standardized format used for texts, spreadsheets and presentations). Conversion is based on a XSLTransformation which makes it easy to convert DocBook to ODT documents which are XML based.

xhtml2docbook conversion tools:
 * Html2DocBook by JeffBeal
 * XSLT from xmlblaster.org (GPL)
 * html2dbk (Artistic License)

xhtml2odf
According to Michael Brauer from Sun, no such XLST is known. There is/was a tender granting $11,500 USD
