ODT server parameters
ODT server parameters

The text citation is the only required Server.odt parameter; all others are optional. Server.odt parameters are separated by ampersands (&). No blanks are permitted between an & and a parameter name or around the '=' sign. For example:
https://tanach.us/Server.odt?Deut26:5-9&font=24&content=Consonants&columns=1&width=50 &align=0&gutter=0
produces consonantal text in one column, with a large blank area on the right on a gutterless page. The order in which parameters are added has no effect. The parameters are independent of one another. Usually, good results can be obtained with only a small number of parameters.

Parameter names and values are case-sensitive. The Server.odt verifies parameter names, but not parameter values. For example, the pair layout=full is incorrect because of the lower case 'f' in full.

The Server.odt has fewer parameters than the Server.html.
