TBS with docx (Word2007)

Just wanted to say that with a few small changes I could make TBSoo work with both Oo and docx files. I can upload what I did if you tell me where to - although I really don't know php or programming in general so my code is ugly.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion.
Can you send it directly to tbsooo@free.fr to have a look

Hi,
I have sent you the mail to the address you gave.

I couldn't find a way to pass False as the parameter for HtmlCharSet in $TBS->LoadTemplate(string File{, string HtmlCharSet}).

tbsoo is doing:
LoadTemplate($this->_ooo_basename.'/'.$this->_xml_filename, '=~_CharsetEncode')

Withouth setting HtmlCharSet to False all \n will be converted to <br /> which makes the docx unreadable with a file format error.

Hi SWK,

We're working on a TBS plug-in for tbsOOo which will also do more easilly other ODF files.
It is still in development, we cannot say when it will be ready.

Great,
I can process my templates now with my housemade solution, so I am happy.
My longer term suggestion is to include docx in your 'marketing'. Filter for docx files will be pushed for previous versions of Word from MS (autodownloaded, redirected to, etc.) so I - sadly - think that it will be used by more people than ODT files. Since you can use the same process with docx than with Oo and reach a much wider user base I think you will find many more users of TBS after people realise this.

Best wishes.
