Tweaking the template can resolve almost all code colorization presentation issues as explained below. (Process issues can be worked on separately.)
Key findings: * Process is a bit of a black art * LibreOffice_7.x_Template.ott has no Character Styles for colored computer code * Code Colorizer Formatter https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/71 is used but an extension bug ignores the configuration dialog Font name, Text sizes and Tab width * Fortunately, the extension does not define styles defined in a document * The Getting Started Guide 7.3 code looks good but Character Styles for colored code seem to have been manually reformatted * Adhoc processes will continue to occur in the absence of a standard process as demonstrated in the Getting Started Guide 7.3 which essentially duplicates character style trees with _LOCodeBase and OOoComputerCode Suggested template workaround changes for existing extension: * Use Paragraph Style Code Font Size of 10pt (extension mixes sizes and end of line comment bug affects following line) * Use Paragraph Style Code Spacing Do not add spacing to paragraphs of the same style (reduces BG7309 page count by 15% and looks better) * Use Character Style OOoComputerCode parent of Code (to carry style through as intended) * Character Style Code descendants must only configure color Furthermore, define the following Character Styles in the Documentation template instead of the extension: OOoComputerCode _OOoComputerBase _OOoComputerComment Grey _OOoComputerBaseNoLocale _OOoComputerSpecial _OOoComputerLiteral Red _OOoComputerNumber Red _OOoComputerKeyWord Blue _OOoComputerAltKeyWord Blue _OOoComputerIdent Green The LibreOffice color palette should be used, for example, assuming no color shades: (Grey), Orange Accent, Blue 1, Green 1. Other styles might be needed for Bash, SQL, Java, and XML. > On Fri, Apr 1, 2022 at 9:23 AM Olivier Hallot < > olivier.hal...@libreoffice.org> wrote: > >> Documentation Team Meeting Minutes March 31st 2022 at 18:00 UTC. >> ...
