By Gustavo Pacheco

Early 2023 , all TDF members in the 2022 Latin America LibreOffice Conference meeting organization received at home a beautiful tribute to the success of the event: a piece in wood and mosaic glass made in Mexico especially created for this homage.

The pieces were created in the workshops of the Instituto Integración Down, which has been active for over 25 years dedicated to the education of children with Down Syndrome. The institution’s students created the pieces based on the suggestion of Mauricio Baeza, a member of TDF and the institute’s governing body. According to Mauricio, the work was done to show gratitude to the Brazilians who worked voluntarily to hold the conference.

The eight pieces were originally sent to Porto Alegre, where they were separated and then sent to their final destinations. Three pieces were sent to Brasília/DF, two pieces to Rio de Janeiro/RJ, one piece to Olinda/PE and one piece to Londrina/PR.

  • One of the goals of The Document Foundation and the community it represents is to improve LibreOffice to make it even more competitive with other office suites. And one of the tools to achieve this goal are tenders for the development of specific features, such as the implementation of OpenDocument Format version 1.3, the standard format used by LibreOffice and other applications. So we are looking for tender ideas and proposals to improve LibreOffice – let us know what you think.

Writer now has continued steps to handle tables that are both floating and span over multiple pages.

This work is primarily for Collabora Online, but is useful on the desktop as well. See the third post for background.

Motivation

The previous post finished with crash testing: the interesting subset of that testing tool is to take hundreds of thousands of documents and in the Writer case import them into a document model and layout them. If any of this crashes, mark that for future investigation. In this post, we'll see what else started to work during the past month.

Results so far

The feature is enabled by default and now the DOCX/DOC/RTF import makes use of it if. This allows stress-testing the layout code with complex user documents, hopefully with the found breakage fixed before it would be released in a stable version.

On the positive side, core.git repository has has 37 files now which are focusing on correct handling of floating tables (abbreviated as "floattables"). Also, there are additional tests that quickly build a specific multi-page floating table in the memory and do some operation on it, e.g. delete the last row and assert what happens.

Here are some screenshots from the effort so far:

Floating table inside a multi-column section

The first case is about multi-column sections: in this case Word doesn't try to split them between pages. What you can see on the screenshot is that Writer lays out content on the previous page so that remaining space is left, but we don't try to split the table between the first and the second page, even if there would be space on the first page and even if this means the table overlaps with the second column, matching what Word does.

UI to disable split of a floating table

UI to enable split of floating tables were added quite early: this is a new checkbox on the frame properties dialog. However, disabling the split of floating tables was broken, the already created layout was not updated to properly move back "follow" fly frames from later pages to the current page, which is now fixed.

Chaining enabled, so no split frames

Writer already had a feature to split content in a frame into multiple frames, but that one required creating those frames in the model explicitly, such chaining is a feature that is useful in other use-cases and is parallel to multi-page floating tables. The UI now ensures that the user can split frames only in case chaining is not used, to avoid confusion.

Split enabled, so no chaining

This is now also true in the other way around: if split of a floating table is allowed, then we disable the frame chaining UI to avoid trouble later.

The latest crashing document

At this point I went back to crashtesting & crash bugreports, and the latest reported crash was for a document that is visible on the above screenshot. This was a

The LibreOffice Documentation team is happy to announce the new Math Guide 7.5, for the equation editor of the LibreOffice productivity suite.

Anyone who wants to learn how to insert formulas and equations using Math will find this 73-page guide valuable. Formulas can be inserted as objects into Writer, Impress, Draw, and Calc documents. Regardless of the document type, formula objects are edited using LibreOffice Math.

Thanks to Vitor Ferreira, the new guide has included the changes carried from LibreOffice 7.2 and is now fully updated.

Math Guide 7.5

He added:

I am a college professor of Mechanical Engineering at Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA) in Salvador, Brazil. I use LibreOffice Math since 2019 for my documents and lectures notes, and I together with the Brazilian LibreOffice Community I updated the Math Guide to the latest release.” Said Vitor Ferreira. “The opportunity to volunteer to LibreOffice Documentation was unique and I found it very encouraging in all aspects of document production.

Annual Report banner

In 2022, 11,769 commits were made to the LibreOffice source code, from 218 authors, in 10 repositories. We also took part in the Google Summer of Code, to support student developers

(This is part of The Document Foundation’s Annual Report for 2022 – we’ll post the full version here soon.)

Infrastructure for developers

TDF provides infrastructure for the developer community to continue their work on LibreOffice. These include Git and Gerrit, to make changes to the source code, along with Bugzilla (to track bug reports and enhancement requests), a wiki (to document changes), and Weblate (for translations).

Most technical discussions took place on the developer mailing list and IRC channel, with the latter providing more real-time communication. Members of the Engineering Steering Committee met weekly, to discuss the most pressing issues with the codebase.

Google Summer of Code (GSoC)

GSoC logo

GSoC is an annual programme in which student developers of free and open source software projects receive stipends from Google for their work. LibreOffice takes part in GSoC every year, and in 2022, two students developed features and updates in the software. Let’s go through them…

Hannah Meeks – VBA Macros – Tests and missing APIs: LibreOffice supports VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) Macros, but the implemented API isn’t complete and the API functions aren’t largely tested. The consequence of this is that the VBA macros in OOXML documents don’t run as intended in LibreOffice, which causes compatibility problems. The goal of this project is to add tests for the functions already implemented and then look for what functions are missing for a method or module and add them. Hannah described her results:

I wrote lots of macros tests which was the main aim of the project and found lots of bugs/areas to fix, so my summer was a success! I also really enjoyed looking into the core and fixing some of these problems. Lots of my tests are still broken in LibreOffice so need fixing – for example, I found that there seem to be problems with new lines being created in Microsoft Word that are not created in LibreOffice Writer.

The second project was by Paris Oplopoios – Extend Z compressed graphic format support. Some graphic formats are compressed with ZIP (deflate) to make them smaller, while the formats themselves don’t support compression. In LibreOffice we already support SVGZ format, but not other formats. The goal of this idea was to look at how SVGZ is implemented and extend that to other formats (EMF, WMF). The extended goal was to implement support for compressing in addition to extracting.

Paris got off to a flying start with the originally defined goal, which was to add import functionality for Z compressed EMF and WMF graphics and thus to improve compatibility with Microsoft documents. In the end, he also implemented exporting of WMZ, EMZ and SVGZ graphics, replaced homegrown PNG export code with one that uses libpng and added automated tests for PNG export in addition to tests

Khaled Hosny

The Document Foundation (TDF) is the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice, providing infrastructure and support for the community that makes the suite. Recently, TDF decided to expand its small team with a new Developer, focusing on improving LibreOffice’s language support. This will help to make the software more accessible to hundreds of millions of people around the world.

The new Developer is Khaled Hosny, so let’s hear from him…


Tell us a bit about yourself!

I’m a software developer based in Cairo, Egypt. My area of expertise is centered around written language; fonts, text layout in general and so-called “complex” text layout in particular (I don’t like how some text layout is signaled out as being complex – all text layout is complex, but some complexity is obvious right away while others are more subtle), PDF, and so on.

I have been involved with FOSS since 2006. I started with doing Arabic localization, then Arabic fonts, and a few years later I started programming to fix Arabic bugs (I think my first patch was to fix a right-to-left UI issue for Sugar, the desktop environment for the OLPC XO laptop, if anyone still remembers it). I contributed and continue to contribute to many FOSS projects – Firefox, GNOME, HarfBuzz, XeTeX, LuaTeX, to name some.

I got involved with LibreOffice in early 2011, and I have been lurking around since then.

I’m also a type designer and font engineer. I have designed and built a few Arabic and math fonts (I can’t read much of the math notation – I was taught math in Arabic notation and I hardly remember any of that either, but I’m fascinated by the 2D nature of math typesetting).

Funnily enough, I had no formal training in any of this, I actually graduated from medical school and worked as a doctor for few years before quitting to focus on a software career (I was already deep into localization and fonts while still at medical school).

Improved glyph positioning of artificial italic text in LibreOffice 7.5

Improved glyph positioning of artificial italic text, especially combining marks – implemented by Khaled in LibreOffice 7.5

 

What’s your new role at TDF?

I’m joining the team as a LibreOffice developer focusing on areas of right-to-left and the aforementioned so-called “complex” text layout. These are some of the underserved areas of LibreOffice development while disproportionately affecting a very large group of (existing and potential) users.

I hope my role at TDF will help to widen the LibreOffice community, attract more people to it, and make it accessible to more users.

What will you be working on?

I will be fixing bugs and implementing features related to right-to-left text layout and user interface issues which affect languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu, as well as text layout issues involving writing systems that require more involved text layout, like Arabic script, and the Indic group of scripts.

I will be also working on fonts, PDF export (text extraction from PDF is major pain point for many scripts

The LibreOffice Google Summer of Code projects have been selected for 2023.

  • Ahmed Gamal Eltokhy – Improve PGP/GPG encryption support: the project aims to enhance the experimental PGP/GPG encryption support in LibreOffice by addressing several shortcomings, such as the need to select recipients anew for every save and the difficulty in finding the right keys. The project will also focus on developing smart searching, traversing, and filtering capabilities for large keyrings, as well as adding asynchronous querying for improved performance.
  • Dipam Turkar – Convert Writer’s Java UNO API tests to C++: The unit tests for Writer’s UNO API which were forked from OpenOffice.org are still implemented in Java, which in the end test C++ code making it hard to debug them. LibreOffice has had a long term plan to move them to C++. The project will also focus on fixing the unit tests for errors, if any.
  • Baole Fang – Select tests to run on Gerrit patches based on machine learning: the goal is to implement a machine learning based test selection method to select tests to run in the continuous integration chain to reduce testing load.
  • Bayram Çiçek – Search field in Options: LibreOffice has a large and growing number of options and sometimes it is not easy to find the right one by searching them one by one. The goal is to implement a search field/functionality to the “Tools > Options…” dialog, so that we can find the right options easily.
  • Paris Oplopoios – Add APNG import/export support: APNG (Animated PNG) is an animated format backwards compatible with PNG. It is supported by all the major browsers and has benefits over GIF such as partial transparency and support for more colors. The goal of this project is to integrate APNG support in LibreOffice, which had been requested for quite some time.

Good luck to the contributors – we appreciate their work on these important features and improvements! And thanks to our mentors for assisting them: Tomaž Vajngerl (Collabora); Thorsten Behrens (allotropia); Andreas Heinisch; Heiko Tietze, Xisco Faulí, Stéphane Guillou, Hossein Nourikhah and Christian Lohmaier (The Document Foundation).

Between August 28 and September 4, contributors will submit their code, project summaries, and final evaluations of their mentors. Find out more about the timeline here, and check out more details about the projects on this page.

Moved from wordpress

As announced in the last post on my wordpress blog, I moved my blog to https://bjoernmichaelsen.github.io. The old content from wordpress and the even older one has been (hopefully with only limited losses) migrated and mirrored on the new site too. Both old and new content will be available on the new site free of ads: Accidentally browsing the internet without an ad-blocker, I found the old sites to be annoyingly tainted by those.

Some background:

  • The site is generated from a github repository with an automatic github workflow I customized from zbrox.
  • This static site generator is zola using a customized theme based on Zola Clean Blog by Dave Tucker.
  • The blog now being a static site, I need a new way to allow for comments and feedback. These days, the fediverse is the perfect way to do this: It also allows a discussion without splitting contributions between social media and on-site comments. I will thus link to a fediverse post that then can be replied to at the end of each post from now on.
  • There are multiple feeds to follow the blog:

Now I only need to start again to regularly write long(er) reads. I am intending to do that though.

Comments? Feedback? Additions? Most welcome here on the fediverse !
