--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- The problem is completely unclear. The description talks about some hypothetical "messing up", without providing steps to reproduce the issue. It could be "from scratch", like "create a new document; do this and that; see the XML, check X and Y; the expectation is Z"; or the steps could start from an existing provided sample. Either way: this is definitely not a feature that we need. If there is an actual problem, that some actions result in something undesirable, then that problem should be fixed. If there is a need to clear everything, then paragraph styles can be reset exactly the same way as character styles (selecting all, and applying the default style). This is definitely not an operation that we expect users to need often; this is definitely not an intended workflow. And no, "cleanness of the source text" is not a priority by itself, only after tons of other things. LibreOffice is not a source code editor, it's a WYSIWYG suite, and it is free to create its XMLs using any algorithm it needs, the only strong goal is correctness. Also: what people often perceive as "uncleanness", could be in fact things actually needed - like inclusion of Asian / complex font info, which is often unexpected to users who don't realize, that their UI simply hides some properties (because that is defined in options), but these properties exist nevertheless. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
