Welcome to the documentalist gem wiki!

This gem is aimed at providing a simple yet powerful API for :

  • Converting documents from one format to another using an OpenOffice server
  • Merging data into OpenOffice templates using ERB-style syntax

It is currently not stable but already usable.

In order to convert documents you will need an OpenOffice server instance running on the local machine, just merging data into existing OpenOffice templates does not use such a server though (unless you request the result to be in a different format than the template).

Some utilities are also used in order to monitor the OpenOffice server, they are available with Linux, but probably not with Windows.
