LibreOffice Cambridge Hackfest

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

Cambridge Hackfest

The first ever UK LibreOffice Hackfest took place in the city of Cambridge on May 21st to 23rd (Thursday -> Saturday), kindly hosted by Collabora.

My starter idea was to fix tdf#90315, i.e. to support both nested tables and multiple columns with the proper spacing in between them in the RTF import. For comparison, here is how this looked in LibreOffice 3.4:

Old rendering

The table borders looked OK due to correct column spacing, but the nested table is missing. Then here is the LibreOffice 4.4 state:

New rendering, first try

Nested table is OK, but the table borders are strange due to incorrect column spacing. Finally here is how it looks like now, when the import result is correct:

New rendering, final

Other than this, here is a list of other topics I hacked on:

After fixing two more less interesting regressions, now it seems we're down to 0 for the regressions having RTF in their summary, which is promising. :-)

I few pictures I took while punting and a panorama is available, too.
