  • 1.  Lists

    Posted 01-29-2007 13:59
    Hi all,
    
    first of all: I did not put the list proposal on todays agenda, 
    therefore the discussions that are taking place on the mailing list 
    today regarding lists are directed to the next work call.
    
    In the last call we agreed that we clarify open questions regarding the 
    list features we have in ODF1.1 before we continue to discuss the list 
    proposals. I therefore would like to ask you to send the question what 
    you think the specification leaves open to the mailing list.
    
    Regarding the proposals themselves. It is my understanding that we are 
    discussing three different items, and I think we should consider them 
    separately:
    
    1. The question how a certain list item may get a different list style. 
    We have the style-override proposal for this.
    2. The question how numbered-paragraph may get multiple numberings (or 
    number domains). We have the list-id proposal for this.
    3. The question whether it is/should be possible to have list styles 
    that specify the style of a singe list level. We do not have a proposal 
    for this right now.
    
    Did I forget something?

    To avoid misconceptions; my view of the list-id proposal was to allow a 
    numbered paragraph to have an explicit id to group it to a list (i.e. put it 
    in the right sequence) instead of having the markup provide that implicitly.
    This is a good thing so a sequence of numbered-paragraphs with different 
    properties can receive the same numbering without there being a complex 
    algorithm in place that has to be the same in all supporting apps so we don't 
    see differences.

    Good question. I was under the impression that it was possible already.

    The proposal from  Oliver-Rainer from the 26th. Which list some stuff that I 
    don't understand, but its still about lists :)
    Other than that, I don't have anything that seems unsolved with the current 
    1.1 spec.
