No, it's not documented at all in Trinidad, or at least not that I found
anywhere. The only documentation I found is for JDeveloper 10.1.2
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/jdeveloper/10.1.2/state/content/navId.4/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.uixhelp%7Cuixref%7Cstyle%7CcompoundProperty~html/
We do have a feature that is similar to compoundProperty called
includeProperty that isn't available yet in CSS but is in XSS. I hope we
can move this forward into CSS sometime. Here is an example from our
base-desktop.xss file:
<!-- AFVeryDarkForeground is the darkest foreground color in the core
(green)
color ramp -->
<style name="AFVeryDarkForeground">
<includeProperty name="AFVeryDarkBackground"
propertyName="background-color"
localPropertyName="color"/>
</style>
It's saying, "Set the 'color' to whatever AFVeryDarkBackground's
'background-color' is"

Jeanne: is this documented at all in any Trinidad documentation? If not
then +1 (non-binding) from me. If it is in Trinidad documentation
then I'd
wait to see if anyone else still wants it.

Hmmm, I'm +1. It's not a bad feature, but I'm not too fond of XSS.
