Subject: RE: [office] Empty text:span elements
Thomas, I am not at all prepared to comment or speculate on something that an implementation might be doing, but it is clear from the precedent of XHTML, HTML, and the definition of ODF 1.1 that a <text:span /> tag is a text:span element having no content. And, with or without content, it has no influence on content of the containing element that is not within the text:span element. - Dennis PS: What thrills me about your note is that I am so unfamiliar with ODF details that I didn't know there was a text:span element at all. Seeing that there is, I am now completely baffled why the RDF metadata proposal does not allow it for decoration of text with in-line RDF annotations in precisely the way that <span> is used in the RDFa extensions to XHTML. <text:span> is a wonderful feature for that, even though it is not as generously usable as in the HTML cases. I had supposed that this simple, direct method for in-line annotation with metadata (a.k.a semantic markup) was not supported because there was no span element.
