I thought OnlyOffice has good odf support? Did the fork patch it out?
There might be any one of a number of confusions here, depending how I read your comment. Or there are none at all. Hard to be sure. But for clarification's sake:
Euro Office is not OnlyOffice. OnlyOffice is not OpenOffice, which is essentially defunct but was the most popular suite that first adopted ODF. OnlyOffice may have been named that way to lure people away from OpenOffice, which was, and is, still in use in some places despite a better non-proprietary option being available. Namely:
LibreOffice is the successor to OpenOffice and uses ODF as its default, so its support is 100%.
OnlyOffice supports* ODF too, but it's by far not the, uh, only one.
* According to their specifications anyway. I haven't used it to be able to confirm how good their support is.
But EuroOffice is a fork of open source OnlyOffice?
And about ODF; well, it was first (standardized), then MS panicked and made their own version. But with foot angles and it shoots you in the face, because MS ignores their own defective pseudo-standard nowadays.
LibreOffice have specifically called them out, so I guess the support isn't as good for ODF as it is for Microsoft's OOXML.
