How to generate styles from template

Plover2CAT makes it possible to extract the styles from an ODT or RTF/CRE file.

1. Click Styling > Generate Style File from Template.

2. Select the ODT or RTF/CRE file using the file selector dialog.

3. Plover2CAT will then extract the styles and save them in the styles folder as a JSON style file.

When generating styles from a tempate, only style properties specific to text are extracted and no other formatting.

This is different from selecting an ODT template file to use as the style file When an ODT is used directly as the template, the export of the transcript to ODT will use all stylistic properties, even ones not supported by Plover2CAT, and the transcript is appended to existing content in the ODT, such as a title page.

This is also different from Import RTF/CRE as the import function will load both styles and content from the file into the editor automatically.
