Bug ID: 153676
Summary: Page styles should include a default paragraph style
like paragraph styles include a character styles
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
Each paragraph style has an "embedded" default character style (and whether
that's implemented as specific CS features or a reference to complete CS is
immaterial as far as this bug is concerned).
Similarly, each Page Style should contain a full set of Paragraph Style
properties (or a reference to an actual Paragraph Style).
When setting a Page Style, the "Default Paragraph Style" would be that page
style's default, rather than a document-wide default.
Motivation:
* It is customary for pages used for an Index, Table-of-Contents or Endnotes
(and no other content) to have various properties different than regular
document content pages. Some of these features are "proper" page style
features, such as the number of columns, or the use of footers or headers; but
some are aspects of the paragraph style, e.g. different font size, spacing or
margins.
* We already have this implemented for a single property, which is the text
direction. Why just that and not all other Paragraph Style properties?
* If my page style has, say, a deep/dark-color background, it stands to reason
I would want the text, by default, to have a color which contrasts with that
color. But a Page Style doesn't currently have CS properties; it could have
them if it had a default Paragraph Style (or default-paragraph-style
properties).
