            Bug ID: 108278
           Summary: [HELPAUTHORING] Implement <object> tag in Help
                    Authoring extension
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: olivier.hallot at documentfoundation.org

An <object> tag exist in help files XHP DTD, that allows to include objects
with specific mimetypes in the help content.

see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/HelpContentAuthoring/3#object

e.g.
<object data="clock.svg" id="objClock" type="image/svg+xml" width="200"
height="200">

The Help Authoring tool does not support this tag, and the tag is erased on
saving the file. 

The task is to let helpauthoring tool read and save <object> tag *without
touching* its content (i.e. be transparent).

At best, also implement visual indication of the <object> in the document
opened in HA extension thru a Frame or OLE object. If there is a 1:1 mapping of
<object> and ODT OLE objects, then even better to display it (not checked).

Note: the <object> tag is *not* implemented into the help content because the
Writer/Web rendering engine is outdated and the XSLT transformation
main_transform.xsl does not transform this tag. But new rendering engines such
as browsers can implement a wider set of object types.
