Andreas J Guelzow: We should revisit Office-1832
Patrick: agenda is approved
Patrick: Office-1832 - schema always allowed multiple instances - just need to change the documentation
Patrick: Office-1832 approved.
Patrick: no solution to get the fill character within the values - in the schema - can do before and after - expansion of fill character -
Patrick: fill character should be able to be different from in front of text versus in back of text
Patrick: LO does it with format codes - describes the expanding character -
Regina Henschel: I would only allow one element fill-character. So no problem with different characters before and after.
Patrick: (before-fill-character)[data value](after-fill-character)
Patrick: (before-fill-character)[data*between-fill-character)value](after-fill-character)
Patrick: (before-fill-character)[data(between-fill-character)value](after-fill-character)
Regina Henschel: Using <number:text> sounds good. Put restriction to 1 fill-character element into prosa part?
Patrick: if two of them, need rule on which to expand which way -
Patrick: shall not produce only one fill-character element (producer), consumer should ignore any subsequent fill-character element
Patrick: shall not produce more than one
Patrick: used only if the width is fixed in the number style and in spreadsheet - shrink to fit -
Patrick: Regina on fixed width and shrink to fit
Patrick: Always only one fill character? within any context for its use?
Patrick: as part of number style - only one data style to apply -
Patrick: when use fill character, then the paragraph alignment is not considered, justify on cell itself, but with expand character in it, the content is no longer justified. Can justify or have the fill character but not both.
Patrick: Andreas - but can set justification on columns, shouldn't that still apply if data style is fill character?
Patrick: left or right justification would put fill character to width of the field on the opposite side.
Patrick: Regina, by justify do you mean 'text' is aligned to left and right margins?
Patrick: if both justification (Regina's sense) and fill character, then fill character first, then justify
Patrick: Regina - same for left and right align
Patrick: group can be a child of interleave - possible schema solution (Michael)
Patrick: in implementations, only the last fill-character is used
Patrick: Andreas - last fill-character element's value, can have only one
Patrick: Perhaps prose should say consumers use the value of the last field-character element in a data style
Patrick: Michael suggests we discover if his restriction to one character works and then consider having more than one fill-character element
Patrick: adjourned - 13:07
