The reason I chose unoconv/OO.org is that it required only a few lines of elisp to allow for viewing anything OO.org can read inside emacs. It seems reasonable to me. In principle, writing ODF support in Emacs Lisp would be preferable, but that's a gigantic job and it might run too slowly. Anyway, even if this implementation is not ideal, it has the virtue of existing. So we may as well install it. If another method is implemented later, we could install that too. Is it feasible to implement of saving a buffer with formatting in ODF using this feature? That would be really great. -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
