Subject: <text:sequence> behaviour (ODF all versions)
Dear all, 6.4.13 has: ----b Once a sequence variable has been declared, it can be used in sequence fields throughout the document. Most sequence fields simply increment and display the sequence variable. However, sequence fields can also assume a new start value at any given position in a document. This start value is computed using a formula which is contained in the sequence field. If a sequence field without a start value is added, the office application software automatically inserts an expression of the type variable+1. ----e * What is a "sequence field" (the text content of a <text:sequence> element> ?) * How is it determined whether a sequence field is a member of the set of "most sequence fields" ? * What does "at any given position" mean? * if this element may contain a "formula", what is the expression language to be used? * what is "a sequence field without a start value", and what does "is added" mean? * would the phrase "office application software" be better expressed in terms of a conformant consumer/producer? * what does it mean to "inserts an expression of the type variable+1" - specifically what is the "expression" and does "insert" mean to insert into the rendered respresentation, the document itself, or ... ? - Alex. -- Alex Brown Convenor, ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 34 WG 1 Editor, ISO/IEC 19757-5 (Extensible Datatypes)
