---------------------------------------

I don't know how this bug tool is supposed to work but I was wondering if 
someone looked at this? Or do I need to provide more information?

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-383
>             Project: ODF Toolkit
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: simple api
>    Affects Versions: 0.6-incubating
>            Reporter: Bob Hecker
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: Replace, Search, TextNavigation, loadDocument

> When I load an .ott file and I try to search for placeholders I encounter 
> strange behavior. Some of the placeholders (not all) in the template cannot 
> be found. I use the code shown below to open the document and search for the 
> placeholders
> TextDocument odt = TextDocument.loadDocument("/template-001.ott");
> TextNavigation search = new TextNavigation("<name>", odt);
> while (search.hasNext()) {                
>    TextSelection item = (TextSelection) search.nextSelection();
>    System.out.println("Placeholder found");
>    item.replaceWith("SOME_TEXT");
> }
> The code works because some placeholders get replaced, but unfortunately not 
> all. The only difference I can find between the placeholders is the way they 
> are recorded in the .ott file Openoffice generated.
> The placeholders who get replaced have this syntax:
> <text:span text:style-name="T5">
>    <text:placeholder text:placeholder-type="text">&lt;name&gt;    
> </text:placeholder>
> </text:span>
> While the placeholders who don't get replaced are recorded this way:
> <text:placeholder 
> text:placeholder-type="text">&lt;name&gt;</text:placeholder></text:p>
> The ones who get replaced seem to have a text:span tag. I'm not sire if this 
> is the real cause of the problem but when I give the specific fields (who are 
> not working) a text:span tag they seem to get replaced.
> I dont't have any deep knowledge of the odftoolkit but I think the 
> loadDocument does something with the data so the TextNavigation can't find 
> the specific elements. Or the TextNavigation is not functioning as I would 
> expect.
