Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks| |108576, 108519 --- Comment #5 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- So, this bug report approach a messy situation from one specific angle, which is how page breaking is presented to the user, and what the user can do within the confines of page styling as it now exists. In LibreOffice, * (single) pages aren't first-class citizens: They are merely the result of applying pagination to page sequences. * In fact, one can't even change the style of a single sequence of pages - one can only change named page styles; there is no direct formatting of page sequences, unlike Character, Paragraph and List styles; that is my bug 161078. Thaty means, that if you change the formatting of your current page, not just the current page _sequence_ changes, but all pages with the same named style, which is rarely what you want. * Page (sequence) styles don't inherit - at all, it seems; just filed this as bug 168471, although there may be a dupe. * One can't apply multiple styles to a page sequence, despite the ODF format supporting multiple styles per element quite readily; that's bug 149271. That means you can't mix-and-match named styles corresponding to your interests, e.g. Blue Background and frilly edge decoration, which might each be their own style on top of Landscape. * Many of the default styles we have on display are rather nonsensical IMNSHO, and should actually not be used: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153534 Now, changes to some of these aspects of the current state of affairs could have interesting synergy with this bug report. A particular example would be having a page create a new DF style when the user breaks the paragraph - whereas with the current proposal, the user must select a named page style. Why?
