The TC unanimously agreed to the specification of this element and closed the discussion of the Work Package 5.2. Discussion of Work Package 5.3 Style Properties ----------------------------------------------- The TC discussed text formatting properties as described in section 3.10 of the OpenOffice.org XML specification. The discussion was based on various suggestions made on the TC's mailing list, see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200308/msg00025.html for details. The style:use-window-font-color attribute has been clarified on the list. The TC unanimously agreed to it. The TC discussed the text decoration attributes style:text-underline and style:text-crossing-out. The values of both attributes currently contain the underline or crossing out line style and its width simultaneously. Specifying the line line style and its width by separate attributes seems to be reasonable and is already the case for CSS3. Although there are currently no plans for an XSL-FO existing that contains the new CSS3 formatting properties, the TC unanimously agreed to rework the specifications for underlining and crossing-out based on CSS3. David Faure will create a proposal for this. The TC further agreed that the specifications for crossing-out and underlining should be enhanced by attributes that specify a character or text string that is used for crossing-out/underlining instead of a line. For these characters or texts, a further attribute should exist that references a text style that is used to draw the underlining/crossing-out characters. Michael Brauer will create a proposal for this. The TC further unanimously agreed to add an attribute "style:text-auto-align" that takes the value "true" or "false". If the attribute's value is "true", applications are allowed to recalculate the text alignment of a paragraph based on its content whenever the content changes. The current text alignment still is specified by the fo:text-align attribute. The TC discussed the specification of tab stops, that is, the <style:tab-stop> element. The TC unanimously agreed to add attributes to this element that specify the line style used for leading similar to the line style attributes used for text decoration. The TC also agreed to enhance the attribute that takes a leading character to take a text string. Michael Brauer will create a proposal for this. The TC clarified that the style:keep-with-next and style:keep-with-previous attributes in fact have to be part of the fo-namespace, and that style:line-break, style:punctuation-wrap and style:text-autospace attributes are paragraph rather than text attributes. The style:line-break attribute has been clarified on the mailing list. The TC further discussed the specification of the various style:*-asian and style:*-complex attributes. On the one hand, these attributes are described as fo:*-asian and fo:*-complex in the OpenOffice.org XML specification, what obviously is wrong. On the other hand, these attributes are difficult to process by XSLT style sheets. Michael Brauer will prepare a proposal for an enhanced specification of these attributes. New Action Items ---------------- - David Faure: Proposal for text decoration attributes based on CSS3 - Michael Brauer: Proposal for underlining/crossing-out based on characters or text rather than lines. - Michael Brauer: Proposal for line styles for tab stop definitions. - Michael Brauer: Proposal for enhanced style:*-asian/style:*-complex attributes.
