My worry is that your plan doesn't easily allow someone to get all the
different bits of information from the first list.
Do users really need this information? When editing a PPT file you don't
care if you are overriding a master style or not. I think this
information is low-level and makes sense only for developers, not for
end-users, if only they are familiar with PPT format.
One of the things I keep meaning to write is a PPT -> S5 converter.
Knowing where the stylings come from would be very useful to me
On other template based stuff I've worked on in the past, you always end
up needing to know if some styling came from the template, or from the
text.
I suppose we could have:
getTextSpecificStyles
returns just styles for the text
flagged as being allowed to edit
getAllApplyingStyles
gets the master ones, then applys the text ones on top
flagged as being not allowed to edit
getMasterStyles
calls get styles on the master
turns off the edit flag
setTextStyles
sets the text specific styles
only works on edit allowed ones
Then on the master
getMasterStyles
returns the styles from the master
flagged as being allowed to edit
setMasterStyles
sets the master styles
only works on edit allowed ones (should always be)
Would that make sense?
