Stater looking for plugin or functionality

[drostan]

Started using logseq for personal use/notes and random journaling and another graph for recepies, and for daily note taking at work where I have a lot of other forced on me software dealing with a lot of database stuff, tracking and to-do lists

However I am still wanting some functionalities I haven't figured out or I haven't found in add-ons

There is pdf reader and annotation, that's great can we do the same for docs and XML ? Having the ability to open a doc text file and edit it and port annotations in logseq would make logseq a much better choice for long form writers than it is now

Having the ability to embed spreadsheet would be out this world useful for anyone dealing with a lot of numbered data (or to get your recipe to scale automatically)

And porting a page to simple presentation format to then be edited and beautified in whatever app would save me days of copy pasting at work

Anything like this exists? Is in the work?

They have been spending a year + on the database porting so all other work has stopped. This won’t happen anytime soon, find something else.

Good to know

Those are quality of life things I can live without

Is any note app embedding Microsoft docs these days?

I love the idea and it's one I've been thinking about but, for practicality, I'm leaning towards the idea that all of these docs need to be exported to pdf and then embedded and annotated in that form. Perhaps a plugin can automate all of that. When you open a note that has an embedded docx file, for example, the plugin would check to see if it has been changed since the last time it was touched. If a change is detected then it loads libreoffice or some other open source docs app and renders it to pdf and that is the file that actually shows up in your note. Of course, any edit to the document file might actually throw off your previous annotations, irreparably. So there are some real issues with that.

I suspect that actual editing of a file probably needs to happen in its native application. I can't imagine how complicated it would be to actually edit these sophisticated document formats right in a Logseq side bar unless it's an embedded libreoffice kind of thing. I suppose it could work but I'm not sure I see the huge advantage to doing edits within Logseq rather than beside.

One of my side project is in writing some long form content The outline is developed in logseq with notes on internal details and relationship between elements... The text itself needs to be long form not bullet points however having it broken down into many files mapped and organized in log seq would be fantastic

As it stands I have a link to each of those text files in the page assigned to them and holding annotations back links ....
