LibreOffice is a multi-platform office suite. It consists of programs for word processing (Writer); creating and editing spreadsheets (Calc), slideshows (Impress), diagrams and drawings (Draw); working with databases (Base); and composing mathematical formulae (Math).
Spellcheck
In order for spellcheck to work, you will need to install the hunspell package as well as the hunspellDicts. packages for the languages that you would like. For example this installs libreoffice with dictionaries for Ukrainian and Central Thai.
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
libreoffice-qt
hunspell
hunspellDicts.uk_UA
hunspellDicts.th_TH
];
uno Python Library for API access
With uno.py it is possible to access the LibreOffice API with Python. For getting uno.py python library to work the special path /lib/libreoffice/program needs to be included into the python path as well as the URE_BOOTSTRAP variable must be set.
let
office = pkgs.libreoffice-fresh-unwrapped;
in {
environment.sessionVariables = {
PYTHONPATH = "${office}/lib/libreoffice/program";
URE_BOOTSTRAP = "vnd.sun.star.pathname:${office}/lib/libreoffice/program/fundamentalrc";
};
}
KDE / Plasma
If you use KDE (Plasma) then you'll be better off with libreoffice-qt package. Otherwise you may lack, e.g. main menu bar.
