I started changing the character styles from OOoXXXXXX to the new names of the character styles, but I did not do them all. So some chapters are a bit of a mess right now, with some old character styles remaining, some changed to new names, some with no style applied, and some manual character formatting. I think that some of the places where we used character styles really do not need to have any formatting applied, but that is a separate discussion that I do not have the energy to pursue right now. Also, there was some inconsistency in use: PeterS sometimes used italics for items that I and others did not, for example the names of dialogs and x-refs to chapter titles. Ideally we would make all this consistent, but with limited resources it seems to me a lot more important to make sure the content is up to date. One of the chapters of the Contributors Guide, and/or the template itself, lists what items should be in which character style. However, I don't remember if those documents have been updated to cover the new style names. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
