    Subject: Style properties questions/requests


    Text properties:
    
    style:text-crossing-out (3.10.6) doesn't have support for stylelines (solid, dash, dot, dashdot, dashdotdot)
    KOffice supports crossing out text with various style of lines.
    
    style:text-underline (3.10.22) should separate the number of lines (single/double) from the style of the lines (dotted etc.).
    This allows more combinations, like double-dotted, etc.
    The presence of all the bold-* values also suggests that bold should be separated.
    
    Paragraph properties:
    
    fo:text-align (3.11.4) doesn't seem to have "auto" (for bidi text). This is used
    in KOffice to mean that the alignment of the paragraph depends on whether
    it starts with a RTL character. Apparently this is a common feature for RTL users,
    to have the alignment and the direction of the paragraph automatically detected
    that way.
    
    style:tab-stop (3.11.10) 
    I found out that common values for leading-char (in OOo) are '.', '-' and '_'
    (this should be documented btw).
    In KOffice we are currently using line styles instead (none, dots, plain line, dash,
    dash-dot, dash-dot-dot), but this indeed misses something like '-', i.e. at 
    the middle vertically (all the lines are currently drawn at the baseline).
    Does anyone know what other word processors use? If they all use characters
    I guess I'll switch to that, otherwise we might need something a bit more flexible...
    
    fo:keep-with-next/style:keep-with-next (3.11.31) Please fix the documentation
    if it hasn't been done yet, since Daniel said:
    "It's always fo:keep-with-next. The documentation is wrong; we 
    don't use style:keep-with-next anywhere."
    
    style:line-break (3.10.37) (apparently this should be moved to paragraph properties)
    What's strict linebreaking? The documentation only says it can be normal or strict...
    
    Thanks for your input,
    David.
