--- Comment #13 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
I want to be able to see the page center on the ruler. Marking things is what a
ruler is for. Let's mark the centerpoint somehow, regardless of anything else.

No, it's useful already on its own.

Not "first of all". We can and should also think of a snap function.

A center snap line should be a different issue (and maybe I'll go ahead and
open it). We shouldn't treat this issue as though it's about snap lines just
because that's closely related.

Let's clarify it then. I say: It should be the center of what the ruler
measures with the "white strip", which IIANM is the text area.

I'd say it helps in most workflows where you look at the ruler.

> arbitrary positions is not suited for Writer.

The horizontal center of the page is not an arbitrary position.
