What will come next?

The development of eLAIX will still be continued. With the next version the new export features will be implemented in the import function so that the reimport of ILIAS learning modules will work lossless. For more details about the implementation of new features and bug fixes see the eLAIX tracking system on http://dev.elaix.org.

eLAIX 3.3.1

This version removes three lines of debugging code, that I forgot to delete before publishing. Exporting bigger documents resulted in an error. Or do it yourself in 3.3.0:
Open macro "eLAIX -> ExRead -> ReadTextPortions" and delete the lines

        if oParaRec.Id = 124 then
            xRay oPara
            'xRay oTextPortion           
        end if

eLAIX 3.3.0

Following the idea of improving eLAIX to a full featured ILIAS editor, eLAIX 3.3.0 is now able to export character styles in the same way as it already works with paragraphs. Frame styles are exported as well and will be converted into ILIAS sections. According to an order of the University of Münster, accordions, downloads, the partial export of chapters and some other features have been implemented. The main new features are:

  • Manage styles for sections, paragraphs and characters
  • Set bookmarks and link to them
  • Insert accordion elements
  • Insert downloadable files
  • Insert multimedia files (fixed)
  • Open links in ILIAS frames
  • Mark words as ILIAS keywords
  • Export a document chapterwise

eLAIX 3.2.0

The new eLAIX version 3.2.0 has a focus on reimport. Please note, that that the reimport does not recognize all kind of content, that can be part of an ILIAS learning module. Especially the design is not transfered so far. Here's a list of what is currently supported:

  • Metadata (part)
  • Structure
  • Standard Paragraphs
  • ILIAS Paragraphs
  • Graphics (size, adjustment, caption)
  • Lists (simple)
  • External Hyperlinks
  • Bold Text
  • Tables (flat with paragraphs)

eLAIX 3.1.0

eLAIX 3.1.0  comes as a real OpenOffice extension and has a focus on design, what means, that the formatting of your your paragraphs will be exported to ILIAS. Here's the list of the paragraph properties, that are reflected:

  • Margins (top, right, bottom, left)
  • color
  • font-size
  • text-decoration (underline)
  • text-align (left, right, center, justify)
  • padding
  • font-weight (bold, normal)
  • text-shadow (yes, no)
  • font-style (italic)
  • font-family (used font, serif, sans-serif, monospace)
  • text-decoration (blink, underline, line-through)
  • text-transform: (uppercase, lowercase, capitalize)
  • letter-spacing (value)
  • background-image (graphic-url)
