Background: I indeed think that is a rather important feature
cause it's the only way to get content into a document that
can be in a centralized way edited/updated. Means you for
example a document describing the features of Calligra as
released and then add a user-variable field for the
version-number (e.g. 2.5 in our case). Then in some months
if the document is updated to reflect what 2.6 is about
someone only need to change the content of the
calligra-version variable and voila. The alternate is to find+
replace for "2.5" manually which is error-prune.
Do you mean that the only difference between a 2.5 and 2.6 release
announcement would be the release number????
No, that was an example. Think of a document where you list
all changes done between the 2.x versions. Then you can just
add a new chapter for a new version that includes the changes
done in e.g. 2.6, change the version-uservariables from 2.5 to
2.6 and have text like "The last version of Calligra is [2.6]" or
"Last release on [2011-12-24]" auto-updated.
Other examples could be a reference-number in an
invoice or a postal code, city-name, etc. pp.
Looks like a task for ODT report generator out of database with simple
GROUP BY and SORT and/or WHERE clauses. All in the background of
course, user only clicks ~twice ;)
Except that 1) they are defined in the ODF-specs what makes
them more portable across different ODF consumers
and producers then something own and 2) the solution isn't
really designed to deal with large data-sets.
I guess something like a report generator is more a
one-time action like mail merge.
With QtScript API for some CalligraLibs (in my TODO) features like
this would be even made available independently of Calligra releases!
Yes. See my reply to Adam :)
