Re: [office] multiple spans

[Michael Stahl <michael.stahl@allotropia.de>]

hi Andreas,

i found the attributes you are looking for :)

20.367  style:text-combine

20.385  style:text-rotation-angle

these work in a similar way to the proposed text range box / text 
portion box / whatever it will be called: consecutive spans with the 
same value get combined into one 2-lines or rotated

of course the specification doesn't currently say that this is the case...

regards,
 michael
