Hi Olivier, I also felt the need for a specific formatting Style specific to UI Elements, more specifically to refer to sentences or commands in dialogs and context menus.
When updating/reviewing chapters, I came across three different styles used by authors to refer to dialog commands. For example, consider the Paragraph dialog in Writer. Some authors would write something like: - Use the *Line Spacing* drop-down list to.... (Emphasis in "Line Spacing") - Use the *Line Spacing* drop-down list to.... (Strong Emphasis in "Line Spacing") - Use the "Line Spacing" drop-down list to.... (Using quotation marks in "Line Spacing") We could either decide which one of the existing styles should be used in these cases or create a new style for UI elements. My suggestion is to use Strong Emphasis for UI elements.
