[odf-discuss] Haansoft Supports Open Type Documentation Standard

[robert_weir at us.ibm.com]

I have a copy of their software package in front of me.  I don't know 
Korean.  Whenever I'm there I just bow and say "kamsamnida" a lot.  But 
thumbing through the manual and looking at the pictures, I see some things 
that I haven't seen in other ODF applications:

1) Native business charts in the word process.  The way we're accustomed 
to do it is via embedding.  Embedded an instance of MS Graph via OLE.  But 
Haansoft supports it natively, so the chart data needs to be part of the 
file format.  Similarly, they have integrated org charts and flow charts, 
not as embeddings, but natively.

2) A more sophisticated level of text shaping, similar to "word art" in MS 
Word.

3) Landscape page with text vertical, top to bottom, left to right. 

4) What appears to be a large set of annotations that can be added to the 
text, similar to the standard proofreading marks.

5) Some level of integration with custom schemas

6) Mathematical notation via LaTeX-like syntax
