I promised myself I would not engage into a "discussion" so soon, but I have
to tell Bruce just this much:
- The problem Laurent Duperval raised (have you read it?!) is paradigmatic of
the way OOo works, and with which I disagree: «"bullet/list formatting"
_interferes_ with "paragraph formatting"».
- Interference is this:
1- I have a (stylewise or not) formatted paragraph;
2- I want it to become part of a list, for instance, a numbered one;
3- I want to use a "list formatting" just for taking care of the list
itself
(following paragraphs have following numbers, for instance)
4- I do not want the list formatting to change paragraph formatting
(indentation, for instance)
5- I can not achieve this easily with OOo.
- Your arguments do not answer this issue.
But you could have a point _if_ there was a _parallel_ between
paragraph/character formatting and paragraph/list formatting (in both cases,
stylewise or not). Unfortunately, OOo does not enforce such
"parallelism"! :-(
Regards,
José (still using OOo...)
