Hi Patrick,
This is good news! I'm glad that you and your colleagues were able to improve the usability of Part 3.
In answer to your questions:
1) Should I create a new zip file with the repaired version of part 3?
- No need to do that, but please load the repaired version of part 3 into the TC's Kavi repository, and email me the link, so we will have a clear record of the update. I'll note that in the JIRA ticket (https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/TCADMIN-3539).
2) Will you generate a PDF version to compensate for the lack of capabilities in SoftMaker2018 and Word365?
- We always include a PDF version as a required part of OASIS publications.Â
- I'm not sure I understand "to compensate for the lack of capabilities in SoftMaker2018 and Word365
" ... but I hope that publishing the PDF (which I plan to export from the ODT using LibreOffice)Â is the key aspect here.
Best regards,
Paul

Paul,
To summarize Regina's results from below:
LO and AOO both open the test version of part 3, no problems
SoftMaker2018 and Word365 cannot read MathML so loses the MathML
content (a real issue for part 4 with extensive formulas in
MathML)
I tried GoogleDocs from GoogleDrive without success.
Questions:
1) Should I create a new zip file with the repaired version of
part 3?
2) Will you generate a PDF version to compensate for the lack of
capabilities in SoftMaker2018 and Word365?
Thanks!
Hope you are having a great week!
Patrick

Greetings!
A test version of part 3 with only the empty bibliography
elements
removed is attached.
Assuming no objections by the end of today, I'll rename and
forward to
the TC Admin as a replacement for the one that blows up OO.
I have tested AOO4.1.6, SoftMaker2018 and Word365. They open the
files. AOO has no problems. SoftMaker2018 and Word365 cannot read
MathML objects and cannot read their object replacement. Word
complains about that and offers to repair the document. After
repairing, the content is there, but without MathML object.
SoftMaker2018 automatically uses a placeholder for the missing
object. I cannot test GoogleDocs, because it is too large for
upload.
I have no objections to use it. Making other kind of replacement
object is not possible at this moment. Perhaps it is possible to
provide PDF versions in addition, although they would be not
normative? Especially for part 4, which has a lot of formulas,
that would be useful to allow to see the formulas.
Kind regards
Regina
