Bug ID: 107095
Summary: FORMATTING: Means to convert direct formatting into
styles
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

Concept of sidebar menu and optional prefix/suffix dialog
Because the UI of LibreOffice is enforcing the user to use direct formatting
(aka hard formatting) instead of styles, it would be useful to convert all
direct formatting in a document with a mouse click into styles.
This is useful for LibO users
* who want solely working with styles and
* who are working with others who don't use styles but direct formatting.
Example request:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/80619/transform-manual-formatting-into-styles/
Conceptual steps:
- User clicks a menu entry or sidebar button named "Convert Formatting" (see
attached concept image).
- With that function all formatting information which is not part of an
existing style in the document will be saved as new style (paragraph formatting
will be saved as paragraph style, word and character formatting as character
style, table formatting as table style, etc.).
- Either the style names are completely pre-defined by LibO or the user has a
choice for example for a prefix/suffix to style names.
- All direct formatting that was converted to styles should be cleared.
- The new styles will be listed in the appropriate Style and Formatting sidebar
panel where the user can work with them like the other styles.
Pre-defined names for the new styles could be "Paragraph style 1" or "Paragraph
style red" (if the name is influenced by detected style attributes, e.g. the
paragraph font color is red) and "Character style 1" or "Character style red"
(if a single word is colored or highlighted red).
