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 clarified the the meaning of the "style:may-break-between-rows"
attribute: If the attribute's value is false, a table is moved to the
next page if there is not enough space left on the current page to
display the whole table.
The TC further clarified that cell styles may contain paragraph and text
attributes. This means that the <style:style> element for cell styles
may contain a <style:paragraph-properties> and a <style:text-properties>
element in addition to the <style:cell-properties> element.
The TC unanimously agreed that the <table:table-cell> elements for empty
table cells are allowed to be empty, that is, don't have to contain at
least a <test:p> element as specified in the OpenOffice.org
specification. The TC further discussed whether empty rows should be
allowed as well, and what the behavior is if table rows contain a
different number of cells. Daniel Vogelheim will further clarify this
and prepare a proposal.
The TC further discussed to enhance the specification by table styles
that include table cell formatting properties. This could be especially
useful for borders or background colors. The idea behind this is to
specify a table style that for instance assigns outer and inner borders
to a table where the outer and inner borders might be different. Another
example would be to assign a certain background color to all header
cell. Because borders and background are cell properties, the enhanced
table style has to provide the opportunity to assign different
formatting properties to different table cells. The TC also discussed
whether an enhanced table style could make use of row and column groups
and whether XSL-FO and HTML support to specify borders based on row and
column groups.
David Faure will prepare a proposal for an enhanced table style. Paul
Grosso will check whether grouping of table rows and columns can be used
in XSL-FO to specify borders. Michael Brauer will check why the current
content model of table row and column groups allows nested groups.
