Re: [orca-list] [orca-devel] Structural navigation of OOo writer documents.

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanied gnome org>]

The first thing that will need to be done is to be sure that OOo and 
LibreOffice are exposing the right information to us. This requires that 
headings be exposed as role heading; lists be exposes as role list; list 
items be exposed as list items; etc.; etc.

If you want to contribute towards a solution in this area, it would be 
extremely helpful to have these bugs filed in both the LibreOffice and 
OOo issue trackers. Please CC me on any bugs you file in these trackers.

Also, there is going to be a structural navigation plugin (or two) as 
part of the new plug system. I plan to ensure it works with those 
applications and toolkits (including OOo/LibreOffice) *which expose the 
needed information to us*.
