LibreOffice Technology
From a desktop product to a platform for personal productivity
LibreOffice was launched as a free office suite for Windows, macOS and Linux in 2010, by a large majority of OpenOffice community members. Over the years, the project has made a significant code cleaning and refactoring effort, and created a robust development infrastructure entirely based on open source software. Today, LibreOffice is available for the cloud and mobile platforms, in different flavours, optimized for community and enterprise users.

Word fields are far more flexible than ODF/Writer fields - to most users, the additional expressiveness doesn't matter, but for some specialized use cases, Writer is limited. Writer had a rudimentary implementation of Word compatible fields for about 10 years, but it never worked well. We have added the ability to round-trip nested Word fields in RTF/DOCX formats, and fixed a bunch of long standing bugs along the way.
