A tool for conversion and simple text markup called VML "Vishia Markup Language" is shown. The VML is simple and powerful to fulfill the requirements of texts mapped to the LibreOffice content.xml format. Only indirect formatting is supported, as is usual for commercial (technical) documents.
Working directly in LibreOffice for wysiwig and in parallel in VML plain text with current translation has some advantages in the workflow, which will be shown.
You can find some videos explaining it and the documentation on https://vishia.org/LibreOffc/html/Videos_LOffcVML.html. The tool and the working approach is used by myself for another project I want to document: Using LibreOffice for graphical programming in Embedded Control. The development has been new for about three months, my own experience with it is good. The presentation is to show the concept and offer the application of the concept for other people, also to discuss useful improvements.
