Discussion of Work Package 5.3 Style Properties
-----------------------------------------------
The TC continued the discussed of text formatting properties as
described in section 3.10 of the OpenOffice.org XML specification.
The TC agreed to add the values "left" and "right" to the
“fo:text-align" property. The values of this attributes are now "start",
"end", "left", "right", "center" and "justify".
The TC further discussed the suggestions for paragraph alignment and
writing mode based on the first character of a paragraph. A proposal for
this is to add an attribute like "style:writing-mode-automatic" that
takes values like "true" and "false". If the attribute's value is
"true", applications are allowed to recalculate the writing mode of a
paragraph based on its content whenever the content changes. The current
writing mode still is specified by the "fo:writing-mode" attribute. By
specifying a "fo:text-align='start'" attribute additionally, a change of
the writing mode will automatically change the text alignment. For this
reason, the "style:text-auto-align" attribute that has been introduced
in the 21 August meeting is not required any longer. The TC agreed to
vote on this proposal by e-mail.
The TC further discussed underlining and crossing out, especially the
proposal to introduce a line style concept for underlining/crossing out.
That is, to introduce style elements that specify all properties of a
line like its type (dotted, solid, etc.) and its width and to reference
these elements within text styles to specify the line style that should
be used for a certain underlining/crossing out in the text. The TC
unanimously agreed to move the discussion of such line styles into the
second TC phase and to add a CSS3 based specification for
underlining/crossing out that can be enhanced later on. Michael Brauer
will create a proposal for this based on the already existing proposals.
A voting about this proposal shall take place by e-mail.
The TC unanimously agreed to leave the specification of text, paragraph
and graphical formatting properties unchanged with the exception of the
changes and enhancements that have been agreed already and the two
changes discussed above.
New Action Items
----------------
- Michael Brauer: Proposal/E-Mail voting for automatic writing mode
- Michael Brauer: Proposal/E-Mail voting for underlining/crossing-out.
