OpenOffice documents are stored as zip files containing the following main files:

  • content.xml:  Document content and automatic styles.

  • styles.xml:   OpenOffice and user defined styles used in the document.

  • meta.xml:     Meta information such as the author.

  • settings.xml: Application specific settings like window size etc.

content.xml, styles.xml and meta.xml have to be processed, currently meta.xml is ignored.

Processing is done with XSLT using xalan and xerces. The stylesheet is named oo2xlml.xsl. The exact specification of the OpenOffice XML file format can be found here.
