During code maintenance preparing for LibreOffice 4.0 the feature set for Insert -> Horizontal Ruler... for direct styling of the swrite component was removed. This has caused some problems for compatibility and maintenance of .ODT documents created in earlier versions.
These are not the <HR> or <HR /> tags of HTML 4 or XML markup. Rather these Horizontal Rulers function as paragraph separators. And while some provisions of paragraph styles remains there has been a loss of ability to incorporate a graphically pleasing separator. See fdo#60858 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60858> and referenced thread and Ask It seems there now are UX issues of: 1) providing swrite direct styling by inserting horizontal rules, from the Insert menu, or not. And of what construction; 2) how best to provide a now needed enhancement to paragraph styling to accommodate different paragraph separators, e.g text, svg or images and where to hold them. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/How-to-provide-horizontal-rule-paragraph-separators-tp4061353.html Sent from the UX-Advise mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
