Subject: Proposal for automatic writing mode
Dear TC members, as agreed in the last TC meeting, I'd like to make the following proposal regarding the writing-mode for text and paragraph alignemnt that is based on David Faure's suggestions and the discussions of the last few weeks: I'd like to propose - to add a "style:writing-mode-automatic" attribute that is a paragraph formatting property and takes the values "true" and "false", and - to remove the "style:text-auto-align" attribute that has been introduced in the 21 August TC meeting. If "style:writing-mode-automatic" is given for a paragraph and if its value is "true", then an application is allowed to recalculate the writing mode of the paragraph based on it's content whenever the content changes. The actual value for the writing-mode should be contained in the already specified "fo:writing-mode" attribute, so that applications that do not support an automatic writing mode calculation or use a different algorithm always know the actual value. By specifying a "fo:text-align='start'" attribute additinoally, the text alignemnt can be adapted to the writing mode automatically as well. For this reason, the "style:text-auto-align" attribute becomes obsolete. If no one objects, I will start a voting about this proposal tomorrow (Friday, the 26th) with the following options: 1) I agree to this proposal 2) I disagree to this proposal 3) I concur to the majority of votes The voting wil be open until Friday, the 3rd of October. Best regards Michael
