------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 23 13:53:01 +0000 2007 ------- We are currently discussing the baseline alignment in the OASIS ODF TC. There are some problems regarding the file format. My suggestion to make "baseline" only a dynamic runtime option seems to be too strange. OTOH if we made it a real option for positioning as also requested in comments in this issue we had to calculate the position of the formula each time when we load the document. This will slow down the loading performance considerably. We also face contradiction in the OASIS TC as this positioning will force any ODF readers to reimplement the baseline calculation by themselves. So for me the "baseline positioning as attribute" solution is not possible. I still hope we can convince the TC to accept my "strange" idea. But this is still open. There is a third option: don't store it at all and make baseline alignments a pure UI interaction that has to be applied manually. Once the formula is loaded again we could detect that it is baseline aligned (because its current position "eventually" matches the one we would get by baseline alignment) and offer to maintain this alignment by recalculation in case the formula is modified. It is surely the most inelegant way but will not need any changes in the file format and so does not need to be discussed in the TC at all. We could start implementing this right away and see how it works. If we think we might need file format support we still could ask for it later. So to all people interested in this issue (and according to the votes there should be some ;-)): please give me your feedback as a comment in this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
