--- Comment #2 from Cor Nouws <[email protected]> --- Hi Eyal, (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #0) > Writer's Styles sidebar has, among its items available by default, an "HTML" > entry. > > It turns out that the settings of the page style are used as the Default > Page Style when creating a new "HTML document" (via File > New > HTML > document). > > This is problematic in multiple senses: > > 1. In a non-HTML-document, the default list page styles should not include a > style (or "pseudo-style") which is not relevant to the current document. Still it allows the user to do start a new Writer doc, and change to a HTML version. > It > must only include styles which may possibly be used in the current document > (and since it's the default list of items - styles which are likely to be > used in the document). (Ambiguous - but prolly more on this later) > 2. It is unreasonable, that the way to control the default page style in > documents of a certain kind would be to open a new document of a different > kind and edit one of the page styles. I don't see why that would be needed. > 3. Converse of (2.) - when editing an HTML document, we _can't_ edit the > HTML page style. After starting a new HTML document, one can just edit the page style..? > 4. The default page style of a document is typically taken from the default > page style of its template (and there's a default template if we haven't > specified one explicitly). Why should this be different for HTML documents? Do not disagree to that. > 5. It is currently possible for the HTML page style, with its use mentioned > above, to be applied various places in non-HTML document? That's a total > mess! Gives me a headache just to think about it. Indeed that is not what it is meant for ;) > 6. This is inconsistent with other special kinds of documents which can be > created using File > New, e.g. labels and business cards. Why should they > not also get a "Labels" page style? Still there may be good reasons for the difference. > 7. And a final side-note: HTML documents do actually have page styles: > > https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@page > > and page breaks: > > https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_fragmentation > > but the first six points are reason enough to get rid of this "page style". I do not object per see. What is the solution you suggest to use in stead? Thanks, Cor -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
