#160 rst2odt: OpenDocument validation errors in styles.xml

[Anonymous]

I have so far been unable to open rst2odt output with the OpenXML translator for Microsoft Word.

One possible reason suggested by the OpenXML translator folks was the fact that output files from rst2odt are reported as "invalid" by the ODF Validator at http://opendocumentfellowship.com/validator - for example, the attached minimal file (created with docutils-0.7 from the single line "This is a test.") returns this result:

Output of validation test file 'test.odt'
This file is not Valid OpenDocument 1.0!

/www/TOM/_temp/E7HSIpBHboA6Lg2I5yG5qO8dXOuUQy2g/styles.xml:0: Relax-NG validity error : Invalid attribute transformation for element document-styles

It appears that some style definitions (I have not yet found out which) do not validate against the OpenDocument schema. Interestingly, this problem does not go away even after opening and saving the document in OpenOffice 3.2.

I've made a couple of fixes to try to remove a couple of those validation errors, and I've checked in the changes to the SVN repository. However, there are still more errors.

I'll keep working on the validation errors. Maybe I can solve them one at a time.

By the way, the following two validation services give different results. In some cases they even tell me that documents created with OpenOffice oowriter have errors.
