    Hi all, this is about the <draw:frame> element in paged text documents. If it has no svg:height attribute (19.543.10), the height of the element is the intrinsic height of its content. At least that's how I understand Â5.1.2 of [SVG]. The <draw:frame> element can have <draw:text-box> and <table:table> child elements among others. The content of a <draw:text-box> or <table:table> element might be so large, that is doesn't fit on one page of the document. What happens in such cases? I do not mean, what applications currently do, but what is specified in ODF? I have not found any rule for the situation "no svg:height attribute" plus large content. Background is that MS Office has the concept of "floating table" which allows to wrap text around the table. LibreOffice has emulated this by putting the table into a <draw:frame> element. Kind regard, Regina
