I keep forgetting LO lists only use outdated teletype formatting, so I am repeating my previous post in quill pen and parchment style:
Hi Peter, The original 6.x template has/had: 30 Applied Paragraph Styles + Default ============================= Caption Code Contents 1 Contents 2 Contents 3 Contents Heading Definition Term Figure Footer Guide Name Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Heading Caution Heading Note Heading Tip List List 1 List 2 Numbering 1 Numbering 2 Numbering 3 Page Break Subtitle Table Contents Table Heading Text Body Text Body Indent Text Note Title 6 Applied Character Styles + Default ============================ Code Emphasis Index Link Internet Link Keystroke Strong Emphasis I think Jean would also like one styled as LOList 1_TextBody to assist with the creating of list items under some circumstances. Which styles would you like to see removed? Originally there was only one 6.x template in the Nextcloud "Contributor Resources" folder, but for some unknown reason folks kept creating additional editions with their own modifications. Hopefully, the Docs Team can agree on using just the one 7.x template and save save unnecessary extra work for the person compiling the final book for publication. However, this seems unlikely since there are already two versions of the proposed 7.x template in the Nextcloud "Contributor Resources" folder.
