AODL (An Open Document Library)

AODL is the .net module of the ODF Toolkit. The library is completly written in pure C# and can be used to extend your .net based software to support the OpenDocument Format. To use AODL within your projects respectively software there is no need of a deep knowlegde of the OpenDocument Format itself. It would be helpfull to understand what's going behind the scenes and for writing your own extensions, but as mentioned before this isn't a fundamental requirement.

Up to now, the following fundamental operations are supported by AODL:

• Creating new documents in the text and the spreadsheet format.
• Loading and manipulating documents in the text and spreadsheet (not complete yet) format.
• Export loaded or created documents into the HTML format (text and spreadsheet documents).
• Export loaded or created documents into the PDF Format. (this is in an early state of implementation and only available for text documents)
