Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposed new character style for user guides
I am not a translator, but as I understand it, Olivier proposed this
5th. character style mainly for the benefit of translators, see:
https://www.mail-archive.com/documentation@global.libreoffice.org/msg16009.html
While I have many other reservations about the guide documentation
template, I don't believe it will involve much additional effort.
Looking back through some recently published guides there appears to be
a mixed approach to the character style used for naming UI objects
(widgets), where some have the emphasis style and others have the
default style.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposed new character style for user guides
I agree with Jean,
this means also additional work for all translation teams, when updating
guides' translation from older versions to 7.1 ...

[libreoffice-documentation] Proposed new character style for user guides
I've apparently missed previous discussion on this new (5th) character
style. Why is it needed? What is the expected or intended value added
with this new style? I looked at the sample. Seems to me like a lot of
fiddly work for writers/reviewers to change the applied style as we
update chapters to v7.1, with no apparent (to me) benefit to the
reader.
