KOffice is based on KDE ( http://www.kde.org ) which is needed to run KOffice.
|
||
|
|
You need kdelibs and kdebase installed if you want to compile and run
|
||
|
|
KOffice. Look in the kdelibs sourcedir for the file COMPILING for help. Also
|
||
|
|
look at the website as there are many helpfiles available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KOffice is a collection of office applications linked together by a common
|
||
|
|
basis. This common basis assures that all office application can work
|
||
|
|
together. You can, for instance, insert a spreadsheet in your thesis without
|
||
|
|
leaving your document. Editing the spreadsheet happens _inside_ your thesis.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|

Developers:
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KOffice is created by Open Source programmers around the world. All developers
|
||
|
|
give their time/code to the community for everyone to benefit. The major reason
|
||
|
|
this is done is because those developers want to have a good office suite, and
|
||
|
|
they don't mind sharing it with you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you feel you found a bug or missing feature you can always contact the
|
||
|
|
developers of KOffice (via http://www.koffice.org ) or delve into the software
|
||
|
|
yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The part that is shared between all KOffice applications can be found in the lib
|
||
|
|
directory. There classes like KoDocument can be found; these classes are
|
||
|
|
extended in the project directories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Read the .h files in the respective directories for more info.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Document format:
|
||
|
|
================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nearly all KOffice applications use XML formatted files in a ZIP file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main document in XML format can be read with a text editor (after having
|
||
|
|
unzip-ped it from the ZIP file.) XML itself is simply a set of tags,
|
||
|
|
where the application can define the meaning of these tags. The definition of
|
||
|
|
the document type is therefore different for each KOffice application (as you
|
||
|
|
will most likely not find a curved line in a KWord document). The Document Type
|
||
|
|
Definition can be found in every application's source directory in the
|
||
|
|
directory '(application)/dtd.'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you would like more information about the makeup of the actual KOffice
|
||
|
|
document structure (not the XML DTD), see the lib/store/SPEC file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to see more/fix bugs in this file, feel free to ask or add it
|
||
|
|
yourself.
