( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I have the following test code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use OpenOffice::OODoc; use constant FALSE => 0; use constant TRUE => 1; my $doc = odfDocument( file => "MyDocument.odt", create => 'text' ); my $rightStyle = $doc->createStyle( "RightStyle", family => 'paragraph', parent => 'Standard', properties => { '-area' => 'paragraph', 'fo:text-align' => 'right', 'style:font-name' => 'Times New Roman' } ); my $leftStyle = $doc->createStyle( "LeftStyle", family => 'paragraph', parent => 'Standard', properties => { '-area' => 'paragraph', 'fo:text-align' => 'left', 'style:font-name' => 'Times New Roman' } ); $doc->appendParagraph( text => "RightStyle-Applied", style => "RightStyle" ); $doc->appendParagraph( text => "LeftStyle-Applied", style => "LeftStyle" ); $doc->appendParagraph( text => "\n\nThis is a test\n------\n", style => "LeftStyle" ); $doc->save; exit 0; ### End of Main ### ### -- Begin of Subroutines --- ### ### -- End of Subroutines --- ### ###--- End of File ---###

The \n------\n is what I manually to do create a horizontal line within OpenOffice Writer. But when I run the above code, I just get the "------" on its own line and not a horizontal line.

Anyone have any ideas?

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
