The TC clarified the the meaning of the "style:may-break-between-rows" attribute: If the attribute's value is false, a table is moved to the next page if there is not enough space left on the current page to display the whole table. The TC further clarified that cell styles may contain paragraph and text attributes. This means that the <style:style> element for cell styles may contain a <style:paragraph-properties> and a <style:text-properties> element in addition to the <style:cell-properties> element. The TC unanimously agreed that the <table:table-cell> elements for empty table cells are allowed to be empty, that is, don't have to contain at least a <test:p> element as specified in the OpenOffice.org specification. The TC further discussed whether empty rows should be allowed as well, and what the behavior is if table rows contain a different number of cells. Daniel Vogelheim will further clarify this and prepare a proposal. The TC further discussed to enhance the specification by table styles that include table cell formatting properties. This could be especially useful for borders or background colors. The idea behind this is to specify a table style that for instance assigns outer and inner borders to a table where the outer and inner borders might be different. Another example would be to assign a certain background color to all header cell. Because borders and background are cell properties, the enhanced table style has to provide the opportunity to assign different formatting properties to different table cells. The TC also discussed whether an enhanced table style could make use of row and column groups and whether XSL-FO and HTML support to specify borders based on row and column groups. David Faure will prepare a proposal for an enhanced table style. Paul Grosso will check whether grouping of table rows and columns can be used in XSL-FO to specify borders. Michael Brauer will check why the current content model of table row and column groups allows nested groups. New Action Items ---------------- - Daniel Vogelheim: Clarification/Proposal regarding different number s of cells in table rows. - David-Faure: Proposal regarding enhanced table styles that support cell formatting properties. - Paul Grosso: Clarify whether XSL-FO supports table border specifications based on row and column groups. - Michael Brauer: Clarify why the OpenOffice.org specification supports nested row and column groups.
