OooRender uses a server installation of OpenOffice.org to convert uploaded documents, presentations, and spreadsheets to HTML/images. It supports Microsoft Office and OpenDocument files.
The extension also handles the display of each file, and includes a lightweight JavaScript slideshow viewer.
Beta issuesEdit
- Tested on Windows only.
- Potential OpenOffice.org security issues when converting documents submitted by malicious users. Be warned.
- No UI to shut the OpenOffice.org process down manually.
UsageEdit
Files are automatically converted. To insert them, use the standard embed markup:
[[File:MyDoc.docx|option=value]]
Options are:
- width=
- height=
- Dimensions in pixels.
- stretch
- Forces a document to cover 100% of the page width. No effect on spreadsheets (already default to 100%) or presentations (locked to 640px).
- icon
- Displays an icon instead of the document. This happens automatically at small dimensions.
- align=left/right
- Floats the embed box
- caption=
- Changes the header text.
