Need both background image and anchor links

  • So I’ve written a document in LibreOffice Writer (.odt) that’s about 16K words with lots of formatting, both URLs and “anchor links” (internal), also in the “concept” it has a background image. (As a webpage all I need to add is a comment system at the end.) I prototyped it as a .pdf file generated by LibreOffice and it looked very nice, the only real problem (of course!) was there was no mechanism to provide responsive HTML for tablets and phones. Then I played around using the block editor with a custom HTML block and was horrified to find that all the internal links stopped working when I put the document online as “custom HTML” (yes I understand I can “edit in” new anchor tags, what I don’t understand is WHY, this messes up my workflow a thousandfold, is someone trying to convince me that nobody ever asked for this before?). And for some reason there’s no background image option either. If I try bringing this content in as “file” it doesn’t put it inline, it just puts an ugly “download” link on the page. I even tried exporting from LO as .docx using either the Mammoth or Hoo plugins and that was awful, because it actually THREW AWAY the header #s from my formatting! And NONE of these gives me a live “style” option that allows the selection of a background image, everyone wants to “promise” that option will be available “if I just correctly” went to someplace and did such-and-so but it never happens, I guess nobody ever asked for that EITHER? Look I have an “almost ready” document here, there has to be SOME format that I can export from LO, or from Word or SOME other WP format, that I can download into WordPress and do specified edits and so forth and it will preserve my links and give me a background image? If NOT is there some “algorithm” that I can consistently follow (in FULL detail) to edit a file after I get it into WP in one of its editors so I can basically reproduce my original results except with BOTH anchor links and a background image? Or is that “just too hard” for the current state of WP?

    And if THAT isn’t practical, is there some way to make the page “pidgin responsive” to screen size by just displaying the individual PDF that corresponds to the current screen’s detected size? Does anyone have tested code to do that?
