Hi,
I would like to discuss addition of a KoGenStyle::rmProperty method.
There's a reason (maybe a stupid one) that I could make use of it in
libmsooxml at the moment without re-designing and rewriting a lot of
code. We collect there a number of KoGenStyle variables storing
predefined formatting for paragraphs that we inherit and modify by
any overrides for the current paragraph.
That's OK for MS Word files. The problem is that positioning of
lists in MS PowerPoint is different compared to MS Word (here also
positioning of lists inside a text-box is different compared to the
main text). At the moment we construct a unique list style in case
of ppt/pptx and any floating/inline shapes found in doc/docx based
on both the list style and the paragraph style. I still need to
remove the inherited fo:margin-left and fo:text-indent from the
KoGenStyle for the paragraph because attributes defined in the
paragraph style have precedence over the list style. Otherwise we
would need a separate textlayout code for text in a text-box and
that for both ODP and ODT.
Of course that's the price for compatibility with MS Office.
At the moment LO/OOo use a similar approach in ppt filters (we do a
better job actually), but not in pptx filters. To maintain
compatibility with LO/OOo is also important, but I don't think it's
doable without keeping the textlayout code simple or discussions
with their developers.

Hi
After a (too) quick thinking about this, I don't see why we could not
add a function in KoGenStyle...
Except for the naming issue : do not call it that way... When I saw
your mail title, I just did not understand what the topic was...
Naming it deleteProperty would be far better :)
