Discussion of Work Package 5.3 Style Properties
-----------------------------------------------
The TC discussed table formatting properties as described in section
4.18 of the OpenOffice.org XML specification.
The TC discussed the behavior of tables that have incomplete or empty
rows. Daniel clarified in
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00011.html
that there is a different but reasonable behavior for the different kind
of applications (word processor, spreadsheet, etc.). The TC agreed to
add this clarification to the specification document.
The TC discussed David's proposals for table templates
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00003.html
The TC unanimously agreed to David's 2nd proposal with the following
modifications:
- The table:topleftcorner, etc. attributes will be called
table:top-begin-corner etc. The attribute's values will be "row" and
"column".
- Child elements <table:even-rows>, <table:odd-rows>,
<table:even-columns> and <table:odd-columns> will be added that allow
specifying alternating styles for rows and columns.
- table templates will be located within the <style:master-styles> element.
As clarified by Paul, XSL-FO does not support table border
specifications based on row and column groups (see
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00004.html).
The TC further agreed to clarify the two concepts of table row and
column groups (see
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200310/msg00006.html) in the
specification and to keep the table properties unchanged with the
exception of changes agreed so far.
The TC started to discuss pages and page properties. It agreed to rename
the <style:page-master> element to <style:page-layout> to avoid
confusion with the <style:master-page> element.
The TC further agreed to allow text documents to contain no paragraphs
but only frames. It further clarified that linked sections can be used
within text boxes to achieve that the text boxes have the same content.
The TC started a discussion whether additional information than the
specification documents and minutes should be provided on the TC's web
page. Michael clarified that additional content for the web pages is
welcome. The discussion will be continued in the next meeting.
