Subject: ODF compatibility; empty ft:span
Hi, In KOffice we got an example file [1] that we can't load a OOo created document properly. When I look at the document I am left with question marks why OOo writes this kind of document. But before I want to open a bugreport at OOo, I want to put up this point on the office list. The document has a frame which has a paragraph style to make the font size quite big. In this frame there is a <text:p text:style-name="P2"><text:span text:style-name="T1"/></text:p> where style "T1" sets the font size to 10pt. From the spec 1.2-draft7; "The <text:span> element represents portions of text using a particular style. The content of this element is the text which uses that text style." KOffice tries to apply the span to any content it contains, finds no contents and subsequently ignores the span. Which makes sense since technically since KOffice applies a style on characters or on a whole paragraph. So the paragraph is assigned style "P2" but there is nowhere to store that the user selected "T1". For this reason, and following the path of least surprises I think that the ODF spec is entirely correct and that the empty text:span being exported with the expectation that this style is used for that paragraph is incorrect. What do others think? 1) http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=16272&action=edit -- Thomas Zander
