<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3155307" xml-lang="en-US">When you import an HTML document, following META tags are automatically converted to $[officename] fields: &lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"...&gt; and &lt;META NAME="..." ...&gt; , where NAME equals to AUTHOR, CREATED, CHANGED, CHANGEDBY, DESCRIPTION, KEYWORDS or CLASSIFICATION.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3146146" xml-lang="en-US">Scripts, comments, and META tags that are positioned directly before a TABLE tag are inserted in the first cell of the table.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3155366" xml-lang="en-US">Scripts and META tags in the header of an HTML document are imported and anchored to the first paragraph in the document.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3152885" xml-lang="en-US">To set the options for importing HTML tags, choose <switchinline select="sys"><caseinline select="MAC"><emph>%PRODUCTNAME - Preferences</emph></caseinline><defaultinline><emph>Tools - Options</emph></defaultinline></switchinline><emph> - Load/Save - HTML Compatibility</emph>. A known META tag contains either "HTTP-EQUIV" or "NAME", and are imported as $[officename] comments. The only exception is &lt;META NAME="GENERATOR"...&gt;, which is ignored.</paragraph>
<h3 id="hd_id3163717">Export Tips</h3>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3159180" xml-lang="en-US">Comments and script fields at the beginning of the first paragraph in a document are exported to the header of an HTML document.
