Could be a soft aka manual row > break, though. My purpose is not to have a "multi-paragraph" caption. My "NL" tag inserts a "line break" (usually created with Shift+Enter) which is not a paragraph break. The goal is to offer the same possibility as with chapter numbering where you can have the number on its line and heading text on the next. Separating the number from the caption is required by some guidelines manual like APA.

The markup in my proposal is necessary to "decouple" the caption from its layout in the ToF. Also I'd like to be able to apply a specific character style on different components of the caption text. Hence the necessity to split tag CT into smaller bits to format them individually (and my suggestion to make the tag an "array") As an example of the difference in caption and ToC is tag NL. It makes sense in captioning (cf. APA manual) but not in ToF. The present way it is handled in chapter numbering => TOC doesn't satisfy me. NL is transformed into a SPACE which adds up to other TOC elements. This is because the NL is directly managed by chapter numbering without being "advertised" in any way in the heading paragraph. Also, a heading is "unstructured" (and this is good for simplicity): it is a numbered list item and managed as such. It has 2 components, the number and heading text. Heading text can be styled per author's needs. But this styling , as far as character styles are concerned, doesn't propagate to TOC. Tag T can be styled as a whole and this doesn't reflect the real heading formatting. My proposal for captioning aims to provide a solution to this. I think it is acceptable in captions but would be immediately rejected for headings by the majority of users because of unneeded (in the vast majority of cases) complexity and by developers because of its impact on list formatting (or creation of a separate feature for headings). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
