Zolnai, * Did not realize there were actually two OOXML/MSO attributes that had to be manipulated to handle highlighting in MS Office formats. And that we'd been fudging it with just one--your patch with just one attribute--RES_CHRATR_HIGHLIGHT manipulated as background fill in LO.
This recently came up in a new twist, over how we've been handled it--since your work 2013-09--needing to turn highlighting on or off by selection and removing direct formatting background fill. (tdf#88990). That has been a bit cumbersome but works to clear the direct formatting in an imported docx/doc document that either shading or highlighting receives as an ODF document. Should we care about this from an ODF 1.2 standards perspective? Since we apply direct formatting to give background fill "highlighting" to ODF documents--is there any way in ODF to differentiate formatting that is "highlighting" vs. what is "background fill"? I don't know... anyone? If there is a specification for it in ODF , then certainly creating an .uno action and GUI button to apply a "highlighting" style, or direct formatting of text, would be correct. But if we are just pursuing this for "interoperability" seems like we are chasing our tails over it. If there is not, then why should we care that OOXML/MSO and ODF diverge on this handling? Seems like in that case, we should continue to make do with only background fill mapping of DOCX/MSO highlighting on import. And on export we don't differentiate--it all remains background fill in the DOCX/MSO formats. Key is what ODF 1.2 supports, or maybe what is proposed in 1.3 that might also be implemented. =-refs-= https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64490#c14 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8b949134441056a1455d67ddfdd7e0bc5f2ee682 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b5e60724ac73bb0e62b249145a8931fd6166bb69 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88990 -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Discussion-about-highlighting-MS-compatibility-issue-tp4139399p4139552.html Sent from the Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
