Word's Table Grid — the style nearly every real table names — sets space
after 0 and single line spacing in its own w:pPr, which is why a table's rows
are line-tight. The cell paragraphs were taking the document default instead.
An explicit single spacing is now written out as well: it only used to be
dropped as redundant, but the block's own style may set another one.
Word's List Paragraph carries it, so consecutive list points sit line-tight.
Without it every one of them took the document default's 8pt after, and a
document that is mostly bullets drifted more than a page.
A run with no font already fell back to the document's theme; the style did
not, so the registry held Standard and the headings without a family. Single
line spacing is measured against that family, so it resolved to the wrong one.
Word's default theme heading font, so every Word file with a Title or a
heading references it. Without a face it dropped to the browser's serif —
a serif heading at the wrong width.
A proportional line spacing multiplies the font's own single line height in
Word and LibreOffice, CSS multiplies the font size. The node attr already
scaled by Liberation Serif's 1.15; a style's line-height went out raw, so an
imported 1.08 rendered ~20% tighter than the file asks for and the drift
accumulated down the page.
odf-kit's list builder reads a run's marks itself and knows nothing about
charStyle, and applyRuns — which handles the style on every other path — never
sees a list paragraph, so a character-styled list item exported as plain text.
A pre-pass now does both of applyRuns' jobs: bake the resolved props into direct
marks (the run's own marks staying on top), which is what gets the run a span at
all, and prefix the CST sentinel so applyCharacterStyles re-points that span at
the named style. Formatting and name both round-trip.
The charStyle mark carries only a name, so resolving it needs the registry: the
plugin takes it as a `sheet` option (like ParagraphStyle), the exporters read
their own exportSheet. The style is the base, the portion's own marks stay on
top. The decoration pass now also re-runs on FORCE_PAGE_RECALC, so editing a
style repaints the markers.
The ODF marker style moves to styles.xml as a named style — LibreOffice ignores
a level's text:style-name when it resolves to an automatic style, which made the
whole ODF leg a no-op (probed both ways).
The marker took only the weight of the item's first text portion. It now takes
the family, slant, size and color too — as custom properties on every item,
since they inherit and a nested item must not take its parent's.
A named paragraph style reaches it a second way: the marker inherits the list
item's own font, and the document stylesheet only styled the item's paragraph,
so an imported document whose Standard style is Arial drew its numbers in the
editor's serif default. styleCss now emits the style's text half for the item
too (li:has(> …)).
Both file formats carry marker formatting per level, so a level definition is
written only for a list whose items agree: ODF mints a character style the level
points at, DOCX the level's w:rPr. A mixed list gets none on purpose, so
LibreOffice keeps applying its own first-portion rule.
A bold mark sits inside the item's paragraph and never reaches ::marker, so the
roman numerals of a numbered heading stayed light while their text was bold.
A plugin tags such items and editor.css weights the marker. The trigger is the
first text portion, which is the rule LibreOffice numbering itself uses.
Its size is the block's line-height floor, not just an empty line's height:
10pt text in an 11pt style kept the taller strut and every line came out 0.4mm
high. Both importers now carry it as the blockFontSize attr whenever it differs
from what the block renders at, and the ODF export emits the FSZ sentinel for a
filled block too.
A list's own indent is the offset from the level's 1.27cm base, and the
importers dropped it when the file put the list left of that (w:ind w:left="360"
is a common one), so every item rendered 6.3mm too far right. The offset is
signed now, floored at the base so the list stays inside the text column.
blockDefaults(baseRun) made the Header/Footer style's own font the yardstick,
so a run matching it imported without marks. The zone carries no styleName and
no style CSS reaches it, so it then rendered in the editor default instead —
an Arial footer came back as Liberation Serif, 2.3mm narrow per line.
The mirror of the left indent (fo:margin-right, w:ind w:right) with its own
marker on the ruler. ODF export rides the PBX sentinel: odf-kit has a paragraph
option for the left indent but none for the right one.
Clearing direct formatting now resets the first-line and right indents as well —
no named style governs either, so both are always direct formatting.
Click the strip to place a stop of the selected type, drag to move it, drag it
off to drop it; the two triangles set the paragraph's first-line and left
indent. Sticky inside the scroll area, so it clears the toolbar island and
stays aligned with the page as it scrolls or zooms.
CSS only has the fixed tab-size grid, so a tab that resolves to one of the
paragraph's stops is measured and given the exact advance as an inline margin.
A hanging indent implies a stop at the text position, as in Word.
Lists were padded 1.5rem per level on screen while the DOCX and ODT
exports place item text at LIST_LEFT_STEP_CM (1.27cm) per level, so the
editor disagreed with its own output and with Word and LibreOffice by
6.4mm on the first level, doubling with each nesting level.
Only the block's left margin was read, so w:firstLine, w:hanging and
fo:text-indent were dropped: every hanging-indent paragraph rendered with
its first line flush with the rest instead of outdented.
Stored as the signed indentFirst attr in cm (negative = hanging) and
rendered as CSS text-indent. Word splits it into two exclusive
attributes by sign, ODF keeps one signed value.
w:evenAndOddHeaders, w:titlePg and w:pageBreakBefore were treated as on
whenever the element existed, but w:val="false"/"0"/"off" turns them off
and both Word and the docx lib write that explicit form.
A file with <w:evenAndOddHeaders w:val="false"/> therefore took the
even-page header variant on every second page, which is empty — the
header and footer vanished from page 2 onwards.
Widow-orphan control was hardcoded on. It is a per-paragraph property in
both formats, so a file that turns it off paginated differently from
Word and LibreOffice.
Stored as the widowControl attr next to breakBefore. DOCX resolves
w:widowControl direct-then-style-chain-then-docDefaults; ODF reads
fo:widows/fo:orphans, where only an explicit 0 means off (absent is the
XSL-FO default of 2). Export rides the existing PBX sentinel rather than
adding a pass.
Cells padded 0.1cm on all sides; Word and LibreOffice use 0.19cm left and
right and none top or bottom. Text sat 0.7mm too far left and every row
was 2mm too tall, so the offset accumulated down a table.
odf-kit only writes the fo:padding shorthand, which ODF defines as a
single length — LibreOffice drops a two-value form — so the export
expands it per side.
Single spacing is the font's natural line height. The hardcoded 1.15 is
Liberation Serif's (and Liberation Sans' and Caladea's), but Carlito
needs 1.2208 and Liberation Mono 1.1333 — measured against LibreOffice
at 12pt. A Calibri body ran 6% too tight, drifting a line per page.
Emitted next to font-family, so an explicit line spacing still wins.
Body paragraphs carry no w:pStyle, so the default style never reached
usedStyles and Standard kept the editor's Liberation Serif 12pt. Run
suppression meanwhile resolves against w:docDefaults, so the file's body
font was dropped with no run mark left to render it: a Calibri 11pt Word
document rendered as Liberation Serif 12pt.
