Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1682) Editor Note: Section17.349 number:denominator-value



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1682?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12771#action_12771 ] 

Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-1682:
-----------------------------------------

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the answer. 

number:min-denominator-digits says: "The number:min-denominator-digits attribute specifies the minimum number of digits to use to display the denominator of a fraction."

If we mean for that to be a maximum then we had better say that.

BTW, we are talking about a style that is applied to a known fraction (so my original question goes away) but that leaves me with why have number:denominator-value? 

If the style is being applied to a fraction, then the minimum number of digits make sense, etc. but why denominator-value? 

Ah, do you mean that by specifying a denominator value that the fraction is then converted into another representation of the same fraction? 

But, then:  "The number:denominator-value attribute specifies an integer value that is used as denominator of a fraction. If this attribute is not present, a denominator that is appropriate for displaying the number is used." still doesn't make any sense.

If we have a fraction, with both numerator and denominator, to which this style is going to be applied, why would we have to guess what denominator is "appropriate" for displaying that number? In the absence of a specified denominator, simply use the one already present. 

Unless this is the answer to a problem that I haven't seen yet.
