Greetings! 7.7.3<text:conditional-text> Reads: ***** The <text:conditional-text> element specifies a condition for display of one text string or another. If the condition is true , one of the text strings is displayed. If the condition is false , the other text string is displayed. ***** OK, but the content model says: ***** The <text:conditional-text> element has the following attributes: text:condition 19.782.2, text:current-value 19.791, text:string-value-if-false 19.878 and text:string-value-if-true 19.879. The <text:conditional-text> element has no child elements. The <text:conditional-text> element has character data content. ***** OK so why does it have content? What happens to its content? Suggest we make this an empty element. BTW, do not confuse with ***** 7.7.4<text:hidden-text> The <text:hidden-text> element hides the text it contains when a specified condition is true. If its text:condition attribute is missing or evaluates to false, the text content is displayed. ***** where content of the element is meaningful. Suggestions? Thanks! Hope everyone is having a great week!

Hi Patrick, Patrick Durusau schrieb am 06-Dec-18 um 22:37: Greetings! 7.7.3<text:conditional-text> Reads: ***** The <text:conditional-text> element specifies a condition for display of one text string or another. If the condition is true , one of the text strings is displayed. If the condition is false , the other text string is displayed. ***** OK, The <text:conditional-text> displays one text string or another depending on a condition. but the content model says: ***** The <text:conditional-text> element has the following attributes: text:condition 19.782.2, text:current-value 19.791, text:string-value-if-false 19.878 and text:string-value-if-true 19.879. The <text:conditional-text> element has no child elements. The <text:conditional-text> element has character data content. ***** OK so why does it have content? What happens to its content? The content of the element contains the displayed text at the time of saving, so that consumers, which does not support this text field or do not support the language of the condition, can at least show the current content of this field. Similar with the attribute text:current-value. It contains the result of the evaluation of the text:condition element. It ease an initial display or a transformation to a different format without evaluating the condition once again. Evaluating the condition might be costly (e.g. complex query of databases) or not possible in current situation (e.g. working on a document on a smart phone). If the condition is evaluated again, the content of the <text:conditional-text> element and the value of the text:current-value attribute is updated. Suggest we make this an empty element. No, the content is needed, see above. Kind regards Regina
