--- Comment #15 from John <johnsmithbeat...@gmail.com> --- > Proper use of LO demands that styles and direct > formatting are never mixed! I don't think so. Styles-only approach, if we talk about character styles, has at least one big disadvantage: you cannot "nest" the formatting. For example, you have a sentence in the middle of a paragraph, and this sentence has five words that are "bold". To make them bold, you have used the "Strong" character style. Then, for some reason, you decide to make this sentence italic, but keep those five words bold (that is, they should be bold italic now). This means that first you need to apply the "Emphasis" character style to the sentence, then will need a character style for bold-italic, and then you will need to apply this style to each of five words. Definitely, this would be more robust, but this takes too many steps. > IMO this is a feature, not a bug. I don't see how it can be called a feature at all. The current way it works is very inconsistent and hardly understandable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
