Bug ID: 115319
Summary: Reference fields: support automatic Hungarian article
selection
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: nem...@numbertext.org
Description:
OOo Extension Hunart (Hungarian cross-reference toolbar) is an incomplete and
fragile workaround for this problem (it supports only sequence types, and it
uses hidden, but removable fields).
As a better solution, I propose the following OpenDocument improvement,
implemented in LibreOffice:
[text] additional text attribute for alternative language-specific reference
formats.
This is an enhancement, described in terms of changes to OpenDocument-v1.2
1. RATIONALE
1.1 Use cases:
Reference formats give an incomplete solution for
Hungarian language, because they don't support
automatic selection of the frequently used definitive
articles before the reference.
Supported (without article):
"lásd 1. oldal" ("see page 1")
Not supported (article "a" or "az"):
"*az* 1. oldalon" ("on page 1")
"*a* 2. oldalon" ("on page 2")
LaTeX Babel package uses \aref, \apageref etc. commands
for references with automatic Hungarian articles.
Suggested text:reference-language attribute has
got the following features:
– i18n:
It's possible to add alternative reference formats to
Hungarian and other languages with similar needs.
– back-compatibility:
Only the alternative language-dependent layout,
– in the case of Hungarian, only the articles – are
missing in an older application, not the original
reference format "chapter", "direction", "page" etc.
– translation support:
Alternative language-dependent layout of the
reference fields is visible only in the same
language text. For example, changing the
language of a Hungarian document to English
hides the Hungarian articles, helping
translators.
1.2 Alternatives considered:
None.
2. REQUESTED CHANGES TO THE ODF STANDARD
2.1 Text changes/additions:
The text:reference-language attribute specifies an alternative way
how information about a reference is displayed.
The text:reference-language attribute has the data type languageCode.
If the text:reference-language attribute is not specified, or the
language of the text, where the reference inserted, is different from
the specified reference language, common visualization of reference
formats is used as the default.
Letter case of the identifier can store the optional capitalization
of the alternative reference format (like value "a" and "A" of
style:num-format).
Examples
– text:reference-language is not specified
Visualizations: "1"; "2"
– text:reference-language="hu" (Hungarian article "a" or "az")
Visualizations: "az 1"; "a 2"
– text:reference-language="Hu" (Hungarian article "A" or "Az")
Visualizations: "Az 1"; "A 2"
The text:reference-language attribute is usable with the following elements:
<text:bookmark-ref> 7.7.6, <text:note-ref> 7.7.7, <text:reference-ref> 7.7.5
and
<text:sequence-ref> 7.7.8.
2.2 Schema changes/additions:
<rng:define name="text-common-ref-content">
<rng:interleave>
...
<rng:optional>
<rng:attribute name="text:reference-language">
<rng:ref name="languageCode"/>
</rng:attribute>
</rng:optional>
...
</rng:interleave>
</rng:define>
3. IMPACTS
3.1 Conformance:
This proposal will not add any mandatory features or behaviors.
3.2 Backwards compatibility:
This element was not available in previous versions and is
optional. Existing ODF processors may ignore it.
3.3 Accessibility impact:
None.
