detailed review of properties fo:margin-left and fo:text-align

[Oliver-Rainer Wittmann - Software Engineer - Sun Microsystems<Oliver-Rainer.Wittmann@Sun.COM>]

Dear TC members,

I stated in my ODF 1.2 draft review results from 2008-10-27 - see
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200810/msg00134.html - that
the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs from property fo:margin-left should be moved
to element <style:list-level-label-alignment>.
I also stated that the 2nd paragraph, the following enumeration and the 
3rd paragraph of property fo:text-align should be moved to element 
<style:list-level-properties>.

I had given me action items to provide the corresponding text changes 
and here they are:

After removing the 2nd paragraph, the following enumeration and the 3rd
paragraph from the text of property fo:text-align, the following text 
(or something similar) should be added at the end:
<new text>
For its meaning as a list level property, see [reference to
<style:list-level-properties> sub chapters].
</new text>

Here is the text for element <style:list-level-properties>, which should
be added at the end:
<new text>
If property text:list-level-position-and-space-mode equals
"label-width-and-position", property fo:text-align specifies the
horizontal alignment of the list label within the width specified by the
text:min-label-width attribute.
If property text:list-level-position-and-space-mode equals
"label-alignment", value of propety text:min-label-width is treated as 0
and thus fo:text-align specifies the horizontal alignment of the list 
label at the alignment position. The alignment position in with case is 
given by properties fo:margin-left and fo:text-indent of sub element
<style:list-level-label-alignment> - see [reference to
<style:list-level-label-alignment]. The alignment of the list label 
according to the fo:text-align value are:
- center: The center of the list label is positioned at the alignment
position.
- left: The list label starts at the alignment position.
- right: The list label ends at the alignment position.
</new text>

After removing the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs from fo:margin-left, the
following text (or something similar) should be added at the end:
<new text>
For its meaning as a list level property, see [reference to
<style:list-level-properties> and <style:list-level-label-alignment> sub
chapters].
</new text>
This text should also be added to the text of property fo:text-indent.

Here is the text for element <style:list-level-label-alignment>, which
should be added at the end:
<new text>
The attributes fo:text-indent and fo:margin-left specify the indent and 
margin for the text lines of the paragraph inside a list item. The value 
fo:margin-left + fo:text-indent specifies the indent of the first text 
line of the list item. Because the value of list level property 
text:min-label-width is treated as 0 - see [reference to 
<style:list-level-properties> -, this value is also the alignment 
position for the list label.
The value of these two list level properties are only considered for 
paragraphs inside list items those paragraph styles do not specify them 
itself. If one of the two properties, or both, are specified by the 
paragraph style, then the text indent and/or left margin is taken from 
the paragraph style. In this case the paragraph style's properties are 
used to determine the indent and margin for the text lines and the 
alignment position.
</new text>


Patrick, please feel free to correct my english wording, when 
integrating these changes.


Best regards, Oliver.
