Discussing Character styles, the Help says of the particular style "No Character
Style" that:
"No Character Style is actually the set of character properties of the current
paragraph style. Choose No Character Style to reset the character properties of the
selection to those of the paragraph style."
That sounds fine -- a needed function (though it is new in LO 7, isn't it?).
Yes and No, this Character Style is called "Default" in older LibreOffice
versions.
Do you know exactly when it changed? I'm searching for release notes.
But then how does that differ from the particular style "Default Paragraph Style" (about
which the Help is silent)? Is not the Default Paragraph Style already set by the current Paragraph
style? What does it mean to designate a Character style as "Default Paragraph Style"?
The "Default Paragraph Style" is sort of the mother of all paragraph styles, IMHO it
should not be used, but "Text Body" instead.
I'm sorry, but isn't "Text Body" a Paragraph style, not a Character style? My question is about the different purposes
of the /Character/ styles "Default Paragraph Style" [about which, as I asked, What does it mean to designate a
/Character/ style as "Default Paragraph Style"?], "No Character Style" and "- None -".
Finally: though "- None -" is not among the pre-defined Character styles, it is among the parent choices when defining
a new Character style. How does the behavior of a Character style change when "Inherit from" is set to "Default
Paragraph Font" vs "No Character Style" vs "- None -"? [I have not detected a difference.]
Unfortunately, I did not understand your last paragraph (sorry). Why vs?
Sorry. The contraction "vs" [versus] is simply a shorthand way of contrasting
members of a class. In other words, what is the difference between Inheriting a Character
style:
- from "Default Paragraph Font" or
- from "No Character Style" or
- from "- None -" ?
Here is some more, I hope, helpful information:

Thanks. I look forward to seeing that. Unfortunately, for the past hour the
status of that URL is:
"Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties."
"Try waiting a few minutes and reloading."
"(Cannot access the database: Unknown error (localhost))"
I will keep trying that, because it sounds promising. As you say, there is a
change here (which makes sense; Character styles have always suffered somewhat
from unclear motivation). I'm sure that there are release notes on this topic
somewhere, but don't know where to find them. However, I will continue looking,
and am currently looking in:
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=%22Character%20style%22>.
I appreciate your response.
Kind regards,
John
