To deploy WebODF on a webserver one needs to check out the code from the git repository at

  http://git.gitorious.org/odfkit/webodf.git

or download a code package from
  http://gitorious.org/odfkit/webodf/archive-tarball/master

Referencing WebODF from your content

New directions as of 2011-06-12

Use webodf.js and webodf.css

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="webodf.css"/>
  <script src="webodf.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script>function init() {
  var url = "myurl.odt",
        odfelement = document.getElementById("odf"),
        odfcanvas = new odf.OdfCanvas(odfelement);
    odfcanvas.load(url);
}
  </script>
  <title></title>
</head>
 <body onload='init()' >
  <div id="odf"></div>
</body>

webodf.js and webodf.css are located in the folder webodf and are the only two
files you need.

Fast directions

Copy these these three files and this directory from the directory webodf to your server:
- /demo/odf.html
- /demo/webodf.js
- /demo/webodf.css
and add your ODF files. E.g. you can store the files in a directory called odf. The directory odf should be in the same folder as the file odf.html.
If this directory contains a file 'HelloWorld.odt' you can view it by entering this url in your browser:

  http://example.com/path/odf.html#odf/HelloWorld.odt

Replace http://example.com/path/ to the right path for your server.
