Re: [office] Critical problem

Hi Thomas,

I really need to see an XML fragment using text:list which encodes what the numbered-paragraph (list-id) fragment.
Or a statement that it isn't possible.

> I'm sure you will be able to map it to text:list as their concepts have changed little since 1.0

I am not able to map this myself. And since nobody gives me an answer I assume that this can't be done. Which then
results (as David stated) in two different ways of doing numbering in ODF1.2 (assuming your proposal is accepted)

If this is true I will not withdraw my proposal since my proposal introduces a way to encode
1. H1
Text
2. H2
Text
1. NP1
2. NP1
3. NP1
4. NP1
Text
C. Appendix
Text
*and* clearly states how to map between text:list and text:numbered-paragraph.

First, we are talking about ODF1.2 assuming the proposal for 
text:style-override and text:list-id have been accepted.

I think it is;
from the proposal:

Which makes it possible.

As a direct answer to Florian;
the example XML indeed translates into the output as you wrote it.  Which 
means you understand the ideas behind it. So half the work is done, you 
understand the mapping from concepts to numbered-paragraph.
I'm sure you will be able to map it to text:list as their concepts have 
changed little since 1.0
