--- Comment #23 from [email protected] --- As I understand OP, there is a request for an improved UI to handling multiple CS applied to a text string. afaict, this point has not been part of today's discussion about this ticket. Therefore...the following point does not seem relevant to the OP... (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #21) > Second part of comment 19 shares the idea how this could be done anyway. ...because the issue is the UI, not how to do it. Meanwhile, today's discussion seems to revolve around whether "valid" (actual) use cases exist for multiple CS applied to a text string. (Heiko Tietze from comment #21) > What I mean is that you likely not have many different CS neither > combinations of CS in a text. At least no use case has been presented here > that requires to complicate the Stylist. Now that is curious, because Mike gave some examples... > (Mike Kaganski from comment #20) > there are styles like "example", or "definition", and the users *should* > create their own semantical character styles - and the impossibility to nest > them would lead to geometrical proliferation of styles, like "quotation > emphasis", "example emphasis", "definition emphasis", "quotation > definition", "quotation definition emphasis", ... ??? And fwiw....I do exactly what Mike describes. That is, I use some semantical character styles (e.g., category, theoretical concept, ontological object, technical word), and then I also did what Mike described -- making additional CS "category - intro", "theoretical concept - intro" , etc., so that I could add italics (where APA7 would also require use of italics for key terms or phrases for which you are going to provide a definition). I also have a CS called "maybe drop" and another "to be placed" (which I use to add a color to words that might be deleted from or moved in the text). Because I have not understood how to "nest" (or stack) the CS, then applying this CS replaces any of the semantic CSs that have been applied. (maybe this is easy to avoid, but it would be helpful if the UI could "afford" this better (e.g., tooltip, documentation). I am not claiming that these are valid use cases. I am just reporting them as some actual examples of what I have been doing for the past 4 or 5 years, without really knowing/understanding what I am doing. I find these possibilities interesting/useful (and started using them in the hope that they could even be practical once bug Bug 78582 is resolved, because then one could search for semantically identified words). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
