Does it produce output in Open Document Format?
Another contender in the productivity stakes, ONLYOFFICE Docs, has hit version 7, introducing fillable forms as well as multiple tweaks for its web and desktop applications. ONLYOFFICE is yet another option for users seeking an alternative to the tech giants, and currently comes in a self-hosted or desktop guise. A cloud …
I would say a lot different: it looks and feels very much more like MS Office and uses OOXML as the default file format.
I first came across it the other day when someone submitted a bug report on my library regarding styles. The bug, however, was with OnlyOffice but has, apparently since been fixed. So I'd take that 100% compatible with MS Office with a grain of salt, then again, it is nearly impossible to get that anyway.
I just gave it a try under MacOS with a large ODT document. Whilst it managed to render the main content, it completely messed up the formatting:
1) Page numbering (in a table within the footer to control the position) was not shown.
2) Page headings (is a table within the header so they are displayed rotated within the margins) was missing.
3) The correct font was used, but the wrong face.
4) Character and page styles seem to be ignored completely.
Mind you, from memory this is what Word does when it imports the same document, so the "compatibility with Word" seems to be there ;-)
The pdf export is also inferior to that with LibreOffice (no TOC generation, ...).
A pity, as the user interface looks reasonable (on a quick play).
