3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/122383/+attachment/1390003/+files/JSONMessage-library-manual.odt && lowriter -nologo JSONMessage-library-manual.odt

export the file to .html -> in the Table of Contents click the hyperlink Preliminaries and it takes one to the Preliminaries chapter.

4) What happens instead is it does not.

attaching ODT file for demonstrating reported problem.

[StephanBeal (sgbeal)]

attaching XHTML file demonstrating reported problem.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Confirmed on upstream's openoffice.org 2.4.0~rc2.

[StephanBeal (sgbeal)]

i just tried to verify this in the latest OO (3.2) on Ubuntu 10.4 and now it won't export to XHTML at all. Selecting File->Export->XHTML results only in a dialog window:

"Error saving the document [doc name here]: Write Error. The file could not be written."

Saving as HTML (rather than XHTML) mostly works, but some formatting gets hosed in the process (e.g. leading blanks get collapsed, which sorely uglifies in-document code examples).

Attached is a doc demonstrating the error.

3) What is expected to happen is when one exports https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/122383/+attachment/1390003/+files/JSONMessage-library-manual.odt to .html the Table of Contents hyperlinks do not refer to non-existent external files when opened with Firefox.

4) What happens instead is they do.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

[Pjotr (pjotr)]

seems related to fdo#56595. There, the href elements were broken, here it's the "a name" attributes missing or malformed. I'll have a lot at this.
