Given that, I suggest to not use a boolean attribute in ODF, but use an
attribute with keyword values, so that all three ways can be represented.
This does not mean, that all three values need to be implemented in
LibreOffice immediately. But when there is some time later on, the missing
mode can be implemented without change to ODF.
That's certainly a possibility. I wonder if there is a use-case where
this wrapping mode would be different for different tables in the
document?
I don't know.
If you're interested in a setting similar to OOXML's
allowTextAfterFloatingTableBreak option, that would be rather
per-document, not per-table. And there is some benefit if ODF's matching
setting would be also per-document, it simplifies the job of ODF ->
OOXML filters. If that direction makes sense, then I guess this would be
rather a second boolean in settings.xml, not a 3rd value for the
proposed text:may-break-between-pages attribute.
I dislike to put such information which is essential for the layout of
the document into the settings.xml. The settings.xml contains only
implementation-dependent settings. I don't know whether other
application even read it.
Perhaps we can make a compromise? Keep the text:may-break-between-pages
as boolean attribute at the <draw:frame> element and add a second
attribute to the style to describe how the text wraps around a
<draw:frame> element, which spans several pages?
Thus way the "how-to-wrap" attribute can be stored in the top element of
the styles hierarchy to have a document wide default which can be used
for export to OOXML, but still be overwritten by the style of an
individual frame for ODF.
I am an advocate of ODF and don't like limiting ODF to the capabilities
of OOXML.
Kind regard,
Regina
