Bug ID: 148182
Summary: Page number and page count mess up in exported SVG
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: andygp...@gmail.com
Description:
The page number and page count fields really screw up export to SVG of a
LibreOffice Draw page, especially the page count field.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new LibreOffice Draw document. Do not insert any elements or text
fields. Instead, directly insert a page count field (menu: Insert > Field >
Page Count). Click somewhere in the page to deselect the inserted item, and
insert a page number field (menu: Insert > Page Number). Add a page (menu: Page
> New Page). Insert a text box, and in the text box type: "Some words, page ",
then insert the page number (menu: Insert > Page Number), then type " of total
" and insert the page count (menu: Insert > Field > Page Count). Make sure the
text box is wide enough that everything fits on one line. Add a third page. On
this page, create two text boxes. In the first, type "Page " and then insert
the page number field. In the second text box, type "Page count " and the
insert the page count field. Export all three pages to SVG. Open them in a text
editor to verify that they're saved as SVG 1.2 (search for '<svg
version="1.2"').
All three exported pages list numbers instead of fields. That is OK, of course.
The page count field is identified with the attribute class="PageCount"
(great). The page number field is not identified so. Instead, it has the
attribute class="PlaceholderText" (not helpful). This should be
class="PageNumber".
The middle page, though looks horrific. The text that should have been "Some
words, page 2 of total 3" now reads "Some words, page 333". Both the page
number field and the text " of total " have been replaced by the page count. In
the SVG, there are three successive identical entries
<tspan fill="rgb(0,0,0)" stroke="none" class="PageCount">3</tspan>
It gets worse. In LibreOffice, go to the master page (menu: View > Master Page)
and insert a text box. In it, type "Page ", insert the page number field (it
will show as <number>), then type " of " and insert the page count field (it
will show as <count>). Close the master view. The text shows as it should, for
example "Page 2 of 3" on the second page. Now export to SVG. Open the SVG with
a text editor and search for class="BackgroundObjects". The exported text box
looks like this (skipping TextParagraph and TextPosition):
<tspan fill="rgb(0,0,0)" stroke="none">Page </tspan>
<tspan class="PlaceholderText" fill="rgb(0,0,0)"
stroke="none"><number></tspan>
<tspan fill="rgb(0,0,0)" stroke="none"> of </tspan>
<tspan fill="rgb(0,0,0)" stroke="none" class="PageCount">3</tspan>
Whereas the page count is exported correctly, the page number is exported as
"<number>"
Actual Results:
The SVG contains numbers that are meaningless, or not representative of the
element
Expected Results:
(1) The <tspan> element that holds the page number field should always be
exported with the attribute class="PageNumber".
(2) In a text box that has a line with multiple fields, each field should be
identified correctly, and they should not be overwritten with the page count.
Certainly, parts of text should not be overwritten by the page count.
(3) The page number field, in master view, should not be exported as
<tspan class="PlaceholderText" fill="rgb(0,0,0)"
stroke="none"><number></tspan>
but as
<tspan fill="rgb(0,0,0)" stroke="none" class="PageNumber">0</tspan>
Why it matters: Correct export will make a document look good in SVG editors,
and will also make it possible to re-import in other drawing editors, such as
Visio. (I'll make Visio import macros available for interested parties).
