Proposal for cursor position

[Michael Brauer <michael.brauer@sun.com>]

Dear TC members,

an action item for me is to create a proposal for the representation of 
the cursor position within one ore more document views.

As agreed in the 24 Nov con call, there should be an element that marks 
possible cursor positions in the content. I propose to use an 
<text:view-mark> here that can occur within <text:p> and <text:h> 
elements. <text:view-mark> has a single attribute "text:id" that takes 
the unique id of the mark. <text:view-mark> simply marks a text position 
so that it is referencable from somewhere else within a file. The 
element has to be ignored if such a reference does not exists.

Within the application specific settings, I propose to add an config 
item set with the name "office:view-settings". The only config item 
supported is an indexed map with name "Views". Each of the map entries 
supports the string properties "ViewId" and "CursorPosition". "ViewId" 
contains the name of the view. It allows applications to specify 
additional properties for the same view within other config item sets. 
"CursorPosition" contains the id of a <text:view-mark> element within 
the content.

An example for this could be

<office:settings>
   <config:config-item-set config:name="office:view-settings">
    <config:config-item-map-indexed config:name="Views">
     <config:config-item-map-entry>
      <config:config-item config:name="ViewId"
                     config:type="string">view2</config:config-item>
      <config:config-item config:name="CursorPos"
                     config:type="string">view2pos</config:config-item>
     </config:config-item-map-entry>
     <config:config-item-map-entry>
      <config:config-item config:name="ViewId"
                     config:type="string">view1</config:config-item>
      <config:config-item config:name="CursorPos"
                     config:type="string">view1pos</config:config-item>
     </config:config-item-map-entry>
   </config:config-item-set>

   <config:config-item-set config:name="ooo:view-settings">
    <config:config-item-map-indexed config:name="Views">
     <config:config-item-map-entry>
      <config:config-item config:name="ViewId"
                     config:type="string">view2</config:config-item>
      <!-- more application specific items for "view2" -->
     </config:config-item-map-entry>
   </config:config-item-set>
</office:settings>


<text:p>My Test<text:view-pos text:id="view2pos"/>.</text:p>
<text:p>My Test<text:view-pos text:id="view1pos"/>.</text:p>

Best regards

Michael
