--- Comment #46 from Greg <[email protected]> --- I have observations of the mockup and the posting generally. I see no justification for groups of attributes describing a line to be any different from groups of attributes describing a character glyph or a paragraph. What this implies is a new style tab for lines. I could imagine a user using the table styles tab for a rough setup of the table and then a lines style tab for applying deltas to the styled table. We should populate it with some obvious (and not overly flamboyant styles) but make it a friendly place to go to build coherent line styles, which should be groupable, so that they could be found easily together (say, a set built for a conference style guide or product with a different brand aesthetic). It makes sense for the table style tab to make a much easier job for a user to define their own table style - using the new line style tab - but that's another issue. The main implication is that the line attributes are decoupled from the position and are saveable, nameable, groupable and the group nameable too. That way the user can apply a line style to one or more positions in one hit and can return later and apply that style elsewhere without laboriously cycling through all the settings, trying to remember what value they were from last time. Also, using styles implies inheritance (usually), so changing the style will update all applied instances. What's not to like. Much easier to use and maintain -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
