Apparently, Friday is ODF question day [;<). I suspect that default indentation amounts are nowhere specified in the ODF 1.2 Specification and it is an implementation-defined behavior.
I looked at every occurrence of indent* in the ODF 1.2 specification and nowhere are there default values for the format features that specify indentations. There is a true/false attribute that determines if paragraph first-line indentation is determined from the font (size), but ODF 1.2 does not specify what that determination is.

Well I found this -- http://officeopenxml.com/WPindentation.php but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. :/ <orcmid> Sorry. That page is about OOXML, not ODF. So no need to feel bad. </orcmid> In any case, if the standard is consistent regardless of font, it seems our calcs may be incorrect for some Asian fonts (maybe encoding factors are not correctly taken into account) and that is the reason the patch was submitted for this issue. It would be nice if this calculation did happen correctly so users would not have to manually adjust the indent for paragraph first line. <orcmid> The standard does not specify this case. I would have to see what is being produced and we could then see how OpenOffice is controlling it. We need to see a small Chinese language file that demonstrates the problem and check the ODF. If we know what actions are taken where indentation is specified, we can see if there is some way to control its setting. Can we assume that the patch being offered already takes everything into account? </orcmid> -- -------------------------------------------- MzK “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” --Lao Tzu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
