As far as I can tell, changing the noun field to a character style field will not make changing the code later more difficult. While code simplification is important, features are also important. We should have had character styles years ago, and I'm afraid it might take years before we have a clean implementation. > > I think we should first of all have a discussion on how to implement > character styles as cleanly as possible. > (... and I really, really want to clean up some of the internal > structures first...) The cleanest way is perhaps with insets, but this will require a much improved handling of insets: For example, allowing an inset to break over two lines. It will be a long time before we can have this, if at all.
