Bug ID: 149271
Summary: Support composition of multiple styles of the same
kind
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]

If we think of styling/formatting in HTML documents, we'll notice that, like in
LO, you have direct formatting - setting the style="..." attribute of a single
element; and we also LO-like "styles" in the form of CSS classes.
One interesting difference between CSS classes and LO styles is, that a single
element can have _multiple_ styles applied to it at once.
LO should also support this.
In writer, an obvious example would be "Internet Link" and "Emphasis". Why
can't I have a segment of text (within some paragraph) which is emphasized, and
also contains an "Internet Link"?
But this is also relevant for paragraph styles. Say, "Footer" and "Blockquote".
I can put a blockquote in a footer if I want to, right?
Same goes for page styles: There's an "RTL page" style; and you could have a
page style with decorated margins. Surely it makes sense to combine them.
Proper support for combinations of styles is important for encouraging the use
of styles over direct formatting - as the unattainable combinations tend to
make people use DF rather than generate the 2^n combinations they may be
interested in.
Related bugs:
* Bug 115311 - UI missing for nesting character styles. Nesting is similar to
just combining styles, but perhaps not exactly the same thing; also, I'm
generalizing to other styles as well
* Bug 149230 - Create sketches for ajlittoz's vision of a UI promoting the use
of styles
* Bug 127702 - Support setting quantitative font features relatively to
underlying paragraph style. There would need to be an ever more expansive
support for making style specs relative and partial.
* Bug 108498 - Character styles not working against the underlying paragraph
style. See discussion there regarding whether (character) styles need to be
relative/differential and to what.
