Subject: Re: [office] Soft page break question
Patrick, By "when a document is paginated" I mean to say that an application is computing a page based layout of the document. There may be applications, that create or modify an ODF, which never compute a layout (e.g. automatically translating text content) It might by wiser to say "when a page based layout of the document is computed, soft page-break elements should be generated". /lars Patrick Durusau wrote: > Hello, > > I am reviewing the material for the meeting this morning and I have a > question about the soft page break proposal, which in part reads: > >> When a document is paginated the soft page break elements should be >> exported.
