Firebug may be useful for CSS but from the image I can quickly see massive
confusion occurring when trying to edit a document.  In the suggestion that I
presented in 2006 (3 years ago this month), the formatting is indicated within
the text of the document.  It also provides a description of the nesting.

I have come across so many issues with auto-formatting (styles included) to want
to throw the word processor out.  There are times I want to know why I get a new
blank page in a document when I have deleted all text and still have space at
the bottom of the page.  Some style but unknown to me where and which one.

Styles don't always clear themselves if you delete the text within the style and
this can create a surprise formatting issue.

It is easy to come up with reasons and examples to prove one or the other
argument but if there is a problem that is caused by styles or the wrong usage
of styles or some strange conflict, how do you find and fix these?

As I have stated so many times.  Lets not clone MS Office, lets be better and
offer tools that are better.  OOo tries to replace MS Office but why not also
try to replace WP as well?  I know people that purchase WP with each new version
because they don't like the way that MS Office takes control of their documents.
 There are also people that use LaTeX instead of MS Office.

This was opened in 2002, I made my first comment in 2005 and four years later,
we are still requesting Reveal Codes.
