I have a problem when opening a HTML table in OpenOffice or LibreOffice if it contains UTF8 extended characters like ÅÄÖåäö.
When opening the table into M$ Excel it works as intended but I can't make OO do the same thing.
By converting all extended characters to its HTML entity eqivalent Å etc. it works but it would be nice to get the correct characters directly.
Is there anyone who knows what I should do?
The following content I have in a file called excelsample.xls and if I open that with OO Calc it will not look nice.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/vnd.ms-excel" charset="UTF-8">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Prawn sandwich</td><td>Räksmörgås</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Your meta tag is malformed and OO doesn't probably recognize the html5 charset tag.
So fix it with:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-8">
