Bug #: 47295
Summary: Default paragraph style should be "Text body" and not
"Default"
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The "Default" paragraph style is not a good idea for a default paragraph style.
A "Text body" would be more suitable.
Reason 1:
If "Default" is used as base style for all other paragraph styles. If a user
includes this style somewhere in the document and then changes it through "Edit
paragraph style" context menu command, like adding first line indent, it
indents all other styles. This happens quite often, almost silently, and
usually breaks appearance.
Reason 2:
When composing text, the normal paragraphs will have style "Default", however,
after the first heading, the style will change to "Text body" and stay such. It
could be argued that text before any heading is not typical "Text body", but
not all writers set heading styles the moment they are written, especially, if
text is copied and pasted.
The first problem can be solved by linking all other styled to something
different than "Default" or making the default style of a new document
something other than "Default" (this sounds a bit confusing).
