  • 1.  style:list-style-name and list-id

    Posted 03-12-2007 13:28 
    Hi,

one questions came into my mind during the weekend.

What about the "style:list-style-name" attribute of a style:style. How does it play together with the list-id?

E.g. the style:list-style-name allows to attach a list definition to a paragraph style. Woudn't you need a list-id at
the style:style element too to make the list-id proposal work?

No, it does not ;)

You are mixing up the difference between a list-style and a list.
One list is a set of paragraphs.
A list-style can be used on one or more lists.

For example, if I have a list on page 1 with all my friends helping me with 
the organisation of a party that is one list.
If I have another list on page 4, using the same list style to list the names 
of the contact-persons for the party, it is a different list. Even though the 
markup is the same.

In contrary to the normal practice of OOo the first list item on page 4 would 
not have a 'continue=false' item because for all intends and purposes it is 
the first item in a list, and thus starts numbering at the start.
