And the multiple authors are saved correctly [2] with our odt format. The use case is to insert a field with many authors. That works in Word [3] (the part looks like a field in the document) but is loaded as text in LibO [4]. However, inserting the author field works in LibO like a charm. So I think we should go ahead and implement a simple way to extend the authors. [1] core.xml <dc:creator>Tietze, Heiko;Foo;Bar</dc:creator> [2] meta.xml <meta:initial-creator>Tietze, Heiko;Foo;Bar</meta:initial-creator><dc:creator>Tietze, Heiko</dc:creator>... [3] document.xml <w:t>Tietze, Heiko;Foo;Bar</w:t> [4] content.xml <text:span text:style-name="T1">Tietze, Heiko;Foo;Bar</text:span></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
