Andrew -
I would like to take you up on your kind offer to send a copy of your
RevealCodes3.odt. If you don't mind, I could add it to my notes about
RevealCodes at http://audilab.bme.mcgill.ca/~funnell/swil_ooo.html#reveal;
otherwise I would just keep it to play with when I have a chance. One of my
planned projects for when I retire is to implement RevealCodes for LO/AOO :-)
I just checked the handling of direct formatting. If I bold some text directly,
it creates an 'automatic style' with an ad-hoc name, in my case 'T6':
<style:style style:name="T6" style:family="text">
<style:text-properties fo:font-weight="bold"
style:font-weight-asian="bold" style:font-weight-complex="bold"/>
</style:style>
You're right that it tells you when a style (whether 'automatic' or not) starts
and ends. For example,
<text:span text:style-name="T6">â</text:span>
<text:span text:style-name="Emphasis">á</text:span>

Subject: Re: Reveal Codes
First, to identify a few problems with "reveal codes.
One problem with "reveal" codes with respect to OpenOffice is related to the
use of styles compared to hard coded attributes. I perform most formatting
using a style, but it is difficult to understand whether a single character is
bold because it was made that way using a style or by a hard coded attribute.
Programatically, it is easy to traverse simple text and to recognize where
things change. The hard part is understanding exactly why something changed. I
do not remember off hand if it tells me when individual attributes change if
the change is because of an applied style. Also from memory, I think that it
will tell me when a style starts / ends, which makes removing an applied style
tricky; something I have never tried programatically.
I have certainly written macros that would dump this information, but not in a
nice easy to see way.

In 2004 (approximately), a macro was created by Ian Laurenson to roughly
emulate some reveal codes functionality.
On my current computer I have LibreOffice (not OpenOffice) installed and I was
able to make it work with a few fixes. No idea if it works with the current
version of AOO (Apache OpenOffice). If you email me off list, and ask for a
copy of my latest Documents/OpenOffice/RevealCodes/Ianz/RevealCodes3.odt, I can
send you a copy. You will probably be very unhappy with how it works. Also, it
is not something that I use. I considered extending it, but there is always a
question of available time.

Reveal Codes was a Wordperfect feature. The Word feature of the same name
is activated by Shift+F1. The Word feature may go by the same name but is
nothing like the Wordperfect feature because the structure of the files is
different.
If you have a line (or double line, or dashed line, or etc) across a page,
check for borders in the paragraph style both above the line and below the
line. I've had that happen to me before and frustrated the heck out of me
before I finally figured it out. Still happens sometimes. Don't know what
I'm doing to make it happen but have at least figured out how to get rid of
it.
