--- Comment #13 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Seán Ó Séaghdha from comment #12) > I’m curious now about how this situation came about. What is the use case > for having separate styles ('style:default-style style:family="paragraph"' > and 'style:style style:name="Standard" style:family="paragraph"')? 'style:style style:name="Standard" style:family="paragraph"' is a normal paragraph style. It may be used as an ancestor in inheritance hierarchy; but it is not a required hierarchy root. Any paragraph style may be set to not inherit from *any style*, and become a root of own inheritance hierarchy (creating a "forest" of paragraph style hierarchy trees). >From the file format point of view, the need to store the defaults applicable to *any* style of a given family (paragraph/text/...) that does not define a property in its inheritance tree requires such 'style:default-style' elements. They *allow* (but do not force) to create files that do not depend on user settings and/or program versions (which may change the defaults). The documentation for style:default-style is at https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/OpenDocument-v1.3-part3-schema.html#element-style_default-style. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
