Changed also BIFF8 so that the full name comes first. Never seen "Star Embed Source (XML)" or BIFF but always calc8, which was the original reason for the ticket. Thanks for commenting, let's if someone else follows my position. Otherwise it's too much fuss and I will only add the localizable name for calc8 likewise it's define for calc6. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-design] Terminology modifications to Paste Special format
Hi. Can only offer an opinion from the other side of the world. I added some comments below but wonder if the text should hint at when to use or avoid a format. I.e. BMP = uncompressed, large files. I don't see PNG in LO 5.4.5. Paste Special menu. Either that or use the actual names so the user can easily search the differences.

In practice, it depends. I've seen one implementation that threw out everything but a core of around 20 tags. I've also seen an implementation rewrite CSS styles into every tag, then throw away the CSS StyleSheet. Ideally, either online documentation, or a user manual created by the documentation team would list the tags and attributes used by Simple HTML. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-design] Terminology modifications to Paste Special format
Hi Heiko, are the texts the same for all modules? The problem is, that the modules handle the clipboard content different. For example: Calc8, in case source is a cell range target Calc: simple copy of the content, same as Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V target Writer/Draw/Impress: Generate Calc OLE-object DDE link, in case source is a cell range target Calc: generate a matrix formula, if target is in the same spreadsheet and matrix formula with simple referece ='file:///...', if target is in a different spreadsheet target Writer: true DDE connection for Windows, for Linux ?
