Re: [office] Critical problem

I'm assuming a "1:1 relationship between the list style and the counter domain".

However Michael and Oliver clearly states that this is not the case.

So for example. In my world
<text:list style-name="L1" continue-numbering="true">
<text:list-item><text:p>P1</text:p></text:list-item>
<text:list-item><text:p>P2</text:p></text:list-item>
</text:list>
<text:p>Text</text:p>
<text:list style-name="L2" continue-numbering="true">
<text:list-item><text:p>P3</text:p></text:list-item>
<text:list-item><text:p>P4</text:p></text:list-item>
</text:list>
<text:p>Text</text:p>
<text:list style-name="L1" continue-numbering="true">
<text:list-item><text:p>P5</text:p></text:list-item>
<text:list-item><text:p>P6</text:p></text:list-item>
</text:list>
results in
1. P1
2. P2
Text
I. P3
II. P4
Text
3. P5
4. P6

In the interpretation from Oliver and Michael the above will result in
1. P1
2. P2
Text
III. P3
IV. P4
Text
5. P5
6. P6
since the preceeding list is just continued. Right? At least this is my understanding what Michael mean with HTML-like
list. But I'm not sure. However I asked him to clarify this.

In the context of <text:list>s, how is your proposal different from ours?

See this stuff I wrote a week ago, in a reply to you.
