The "Welcome to Nextcloud Hub" file is a "docx" file, but... why ??? #31

It's certainly a detail, but in terms of image (competition with Microsoft...), it sends out the wrong signal to people.

This file must not be an Open XML file (from Microsoft).

We need to honor the suite used by default in Nextcloud, Collabora Online, by using the Open Document Format.

Please use an "odt" file instead.

@jancborchardt what do you think ?

I’m not particular about the file format as long as it looks good in any of the online editors we offer (mostly Nextcloud Office and OnlyOffice).

For history / reason on why it was changed from odt to docx, see:

OK @jancborchardt, but both issue and PR are 4 years old. Can't it be tried again ?

@Jerome-Herbinet sure, if compatibility is ensured – feel free to test. As Frank said in the pull request discussion:

Of course docx has better compatibility as discussed. Not only ONLYOFFICE but also the applications that normal users have on their phones and desktops. So I think switching to docx is ok.

OK @jancborchardt ... I just tested it and OO still seems to break something in the document ... it's a pain.
Can you tell me, except the document design, what are the constraints (e.g. fields or variables) ... because, among broken things, "%" appear before and after the "Nextcloud Hub" title ; it may be a kind of field / variable issue. I would suggest making the document technically as simple as possible (just a generic static content), for example without any mention of Nextcloud version, etc. What do you think ?
