[tex4ht] Lualatex / ooffice

[Guido Milanese]

Thank you for your suggestions, Dr Hoftich. I ran:

make4ht -l pokus.tex  "xhtml,ooffice" "ooffice/! -cmozhtf"
      " -coo -cxtpipes -cvalidate"

and I presume that a report might be useful. A strange fact indeed.

This is my MWE (meaningless, just to test extended Latin characters and 
Greek):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[greek,italian]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc}
\begin{document}
uno due tre
\foreignlanguage{greek}{αβάὰ}
ésito àncora aíta æ Æ
Draußen währt am längsten.
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

This runs with no problems, but if I substitute 'german' to 'italian', 
or if I add german to BABEL languages, and I use 
\foreignlanguage{german{...}, as I should do, the compiler complains as 
follows:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
(/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex4ht/ooffice.4ht
! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence.
l.8236       {
             �}{ą}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

and the same up to line 8243.

I tried with Italian, English and British and it's all right.

If I substitute "french", regardless if I'm using German letters or just 
French ones, I get this (lua03.tex is my test file):

  file lua03.4od

Make4ht: Fatal error. Command tex4ht returned exit code 256
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

again the exit code 256 discussed in another topic.

lua03.tmp is different if I run Italian/English or French:

ITALIAN-GERMAN-ENGLISH:
/* start css.sty */
.cmbsy-10{font-weight: bold;}
.cmbsy-10{font-weight: bold;}
.cmbsy-10{font-weight: bold;}
.cmbsy-7{font-size:70%;font-weight: bold;}

.cmbsy-5{font-weight: bold;}

.cmr-5{font-size:50%;}

.cmmi-5{font-size:50%;font-style: italic;}
.cmsy-7{font-size:70%;}
.cmsy-5{font-size:50%;}
/* end css.sty */

FRENCH:
<text:span
text:style-name="ecrm-1000">x^@</text:span>x^@


Interesting: the OpenOffice output is correct, anyway.
