--- Comment #11 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #10) > I don't buy the heavy need for such a feature. We're talking about a feature which won't have UI on the main window, nor a toolbar button. It will only have a check-box in one of the stlye panes, e.g. in "Position", under "Spacing". So, it doesn't have to be feature with "heavy" use. In some kinds of documents, it is quite useful. And - it's a capability that's worthwhile to have in the spec. > You rarely have hyphens or spaces that must not break When you write legal documents, or catalogues, or engineering specs, you often want certain kinds of terms - which are likely to have a character style - to not break across lines. This is not rare. > and can easily define those as special non-breakable character offered by > Unicode. You are suggesting using a hack instead of proper styling. If something is not local to a single place in the document, but to all occurrences of text with a certain character style, the way to handle features of that text is via the character style. Think also of styles offered to people who are less formatting-and-styling concious: You want to offer them good defaults in the styles, minimizing the amount of design-work and consideration they need to apply. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
