Subject: RE: [office] Problems with Appendix in ODF 1.3


Hi Regina

The reason there is a condition paragraph style 'Appendix Heading' in Part 3 is that it was definitely used in ODF 1.2, but was missing in recent drafts of ODF 1.3, so I recently reinstated it in Part 3, but not in other Parts. So, I must apologise for creating confusion.

I'm not completely convinced that conditional paragraph styles are a good idea, but they are a distinctive feature of ODF which is not, for example, in OOXML. They are tricky to set up, and also there is no conditional style for chapter headings, so just using them in the Appendices seems a little odd - but that was the situation in ODF 1.2.

Kind regards,

Francis

That is my current state. That is indeed better.

  and the conditional style 'Appendix Heading' as currently.

I see 'Appendix Heading' only in the erroneous appendix in part 3. I have replaced it and used inheritance instead to make the appendix headings look the same as the headings in the normal text.

Do you think a conditional style is easier to use and better to maintain as inheritance? In that case this should not be used only in part 3, but in the other parts too.

I can make a solution with conditional style for the Appendix. What does the others think? Svante, what is better for you for creating the HTML version?

  However, it would be OK to shorten the level-specific style names to 'Appendix 1', 'Appendix 2' and 'Appendix 3', if you have a strong preference for the shorter names.

Having "Heading" in the name is fine for me.

The spacing makes the style names easier to read. So that is OK.

Kind regards
