A big win for ODF, the EU Commission DG CONNECT has added the ODS template to the CRA Guidance feedback process, reacting promptly in a positive way to our request. Kudos to DG CONNECT.

@libreoffice Were those @ at the end intended to be # ?
@libreoffice However, the ODS template link takes you to a pdf download that actually is not working.
They should be warned, I guess?
@tachan I am chatting with them - I get the same result but not everyone does and neither of us can work out why. If you remove the PDF suffix is it actually an ODS?
@libreoffice
@webmink @libreoffice
Ah, yes, correct! Changing .pdf into .ods makes the trick.
Anyway, my first thought was that the file was corrupt, because the browser tries to render the pdf with no success at all, obviously.
@webmink @libreoffice
I should say that it's something you can't do in the URL, that doesn't work (file not found, etc.).
You have to download the PDF and rename then, or after the download is completed.

@libreoffice No explanation of the acronyms.
No alt text.
No working link.
Non working mentions that probably should have been hashtags.
No interaction.

Reflects 100% my experience with the software.

I’d recommend to stick with markdown. You do not even need a special editor for that.
