Hi Regina,
In ODF 1.3 part 3, section 10.6 the term "Custom Shapes" is used to
describe the element <draw:custom-shape>. So I believe you could use
"Custom Shape(s)" to write this guide. It would be suitable from the
standpoint of developers.
So you mean a sentence like the following would be OK?
Many Custom Shapes have handles to alter the geometry.
Would it be clear that the part "Custom Shapes" should not be translated?
Using "custom shape" with lower case would surely be translated to
"forme personnalisée" (fr) or "benutzerdefinierte Form" (de), for example.
Or do you have an idea how to write something similar to
"Fontwork-shape" or "Isosceles Triangle"-shape?
Or so ?
Many "Custom Shape"-shapes have handles to alter the geometry.
Or using a style to make clear that "custom shape" is a technical term?
Italic for example? 'Small capitals' seem to be not available in the Wiki.
Kind regards,
Regina
Regards,
Rafael Lima

Hi all,
I'm going to write a Wiki page about CustomShapes addressed to
developers. Text therein will be for example:
1 What is “CustomShape”?
“CustomShape” is a technical term and does not mean “made by the user”.
But “CustomShape” is the umbrella term for those shapes, which have an
enhanced geometry. These shapes are written as element
<draw:custom-shape> in the file markup in ODF format.
Many of these shapes have handles and shape specific glue points. For
all of these shapes and only for them the tool “Toggle Extrusion” is
active in the UI. Looking at it allows to quickly distinguish a
CustomShape from other kind of shapes.
We have already page
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Remarks_on_Fontwork_and_TextWarp
There the spelling "custom-shapes" is used.
The Draw guide has "custom shape" in chapter "Text callout".
In the style dialog in the UI we have on tab 'text' the wording "Custom
Shape Text".
I am looking for a spelling that makes clear, that it is a technical
term for a kind of shapes and that "custom" in this context has nothing
to do with "user".
Kind regards
Regina
