Subject: List example?
Greetings! When discussing the problem of converting lists to OOXML lists it might be helpful to use the examples in the OOXML specification from Ecma. Those can be found in the Primer (part 3) beginning at 2.10 Numbering. There isn't a list structure in the traditional markup sense but styles that are applied to numbered paragraphs. Note that numbering definitions are stored in the Numbering part of the package and associated with paragraphs. Which seems to me would make the application of XPath statements to "lists" in an OOXML document instance more difficult. Contrast the ISO ODF standard that has a more traditional list structure. 4.3 Lists I haven't worked through the numbering sections in any detail but I did not see any thing that jumped out at me as a problem for conversions in either direction. Even though conversion is an application issue to no small degree, it occurs to me that metada could be used to store information that an application might need to use in terms of going back to another format. True enough, that doesn't put the data inline but then I rather doubt anyone is going to round trip only part of a document. Hope everyone is having a great day!
