Subject: RE: [office] Ballot request for style inheritance proposal
One suggestion, one set of questions: 1. It would appear that it is appropriate to incorporate this text into the current draft 7-10. 2. I am a little baffled about the default case when there is no explicit specification of a formatting property in the direct style and its ancestors (via the style:parent-style-name chain) and the default style of the style:family also fails to provide the formatting property. 2.1 Is this a case for which we are looking to make consistent defaults and that is being explored separately? 2.2 Are there also cases where the absence of a formatting property is best understood as meaning that the property does not exist or does not apply in the case at hand? 2.3 If the formatting property is needed, and there is no provision, is this not an error in the document? (I am trying to understand why the default in the absence of explicit and default specification is implementation-specific, and why it is a good thing in this case.) - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM [mailto:Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 01:35 To: OpenDocument Mailing List Subject: [office] Ballot request for style inheritance proposal Hi Rob, all, I would like to request a vote for the following proposal: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/StyleInheritanceProposal Below is a copy of the propsal which is the text we actually will vote on. Best regards Michael The following text should be added to section of 15.2 <style:style> of ODF 1.2 draft 7-5: Styles defined by the <style:style> element create a hierarchical style model and support inheritance of formatting properties. To determine the value of a formatting property, it is first checked if the style that is referenced by a particular object directly, for instance by a paragraph, specifies a value for the formatting property. If this is the case, then this value is taken. If the style does not specify a value for the formatting property, and if the style has a parent style, then this parent style is checked. A parent style is specified the style:parent-style-name attribute. If the parent style specifies a value for the formatting property, this value is taken. Otherwise its parent style is checked, if it is defined. This process is continued until either a value for the formatting property has been found, or until a style has no parent style. If a value for the formatting property has not been found, then the default style that has the same family as the style that has been referenced initially is checked. If it specifies a value for the formatting property, then this value is taken. Otherwise an implementation specific value is taken.
