--- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tie...@documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.
The use case is clear and common: Benjamin wants to add a landscape oriented
page to the document to show a large table.
MSO offers a toggle portrait/landscape but changes the whole document as well.
The action requires a deep understanding of the software:
* add a manual page break after the last paragraph with a new page style
* insert content
* add a manual page break after the last paragraph with the previous page style
This can be simplified with a function that does exactly this: find the last
paragraph, add a page style with the same variables as the current but toggle
the page orientation, add a page break with the current style.
It would be convenient to consider a selection, also when spanning multiple
pages. One shortcoming of this procedure might be to toggle it again: in this
case we would add blank pages before/after that a user has to delete manually.
Bug 161078 is not focused on behavior when breaking pages, nor on the style of
individual pages; it is somewhat orthogonal to this proposal. => not a
duplicate
The proposal also talks around the actual request "Introduce a Page Break
feature that breaks the page, ends the current style (any style the user is
on), and allows choosing a new style immediately.", which was assessed as WF.
Dragan: if you disagree with the proposal as solution please comment.
This might be an easyhack. Code pointer are welcome.
