Subject: Re: [office] already acceptedparagraph property style:join-border
Patrick, reallly good point: I entirely forgot. The real semantic of the "join" attribute is not only depending on the border type but also on the paragraph margins.... So the currently sementic in OOo and Word is that only a border around paragraphs with the same margin is drawn... Oliver: Is my understanding right that the border of a paragraphs depends on * border style * border weight * border color * paragraph left-indent, first-indent and right-indent? Any chance you can update the proposal? ~Florian >>> Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net> 04/25/08 2:35 PM >>> Florian, Florian Reuter wrote: > Hi Patrick, > > interresting idea. > > But I see a problem here ;-) > > What if you have a paragraph with a boder and 1.5 line height (style P1) and the next paragraph with a border and 1.0 line height (style P2). > In ODF you get > <p style="P1">ABC</p> > <p style="P2">DEF</p> > But you still want a border around them.... > > Make sense? > > So, despite the different in line spacing between the two paragraph you still want a border? Yes? I imagine the more likely case to be where the paragraph have different margins, that is quite common where a long passage is quoted and the quoted material is indented further than a "regular" paragraph to set it off from the regular flow of text. In that case I assume the paragraph with the wider margins should set the location of the border that is going to surround the two paragraphs. I think of that as being a different issue that your "determining two borders to be the same." I saw that as a computational problem. I do think this is more complicated that simply saying two borders are "the same" and no more. ;-) However, I do think if we think about it we can fashion a way to specify the behavior we want. Hope you are having a great day!
