The body margin reserved the zone's height *plus* its fo:margin-top/-bottom, so
every page with a footer lost a line — a fixture ran a page over. Probed against
soffice: moving a footer's fo:margin-top leaves the last body line exactly where
it was and only shifts the footer text down its band; style:dynamic-spacing
changes neither side. The band is the declared height, the gap sits in it.
One fixture paginates to LibreOffice's 63 pages again.
An as-char figure frame sits in a paragraph of its own; the importer lifts the
box to top level and dropped that paragraph whole, so its space above and below
went with it — every figure in a fixture sat 2.1mm too tight. The box now carries
them (ParagraphSpacing covers textBox), space above as padding so it adds to the
block above, and the export mints an anchor style to write both back.
One fixture: 142 → 100 parity issues.
Import read style:vertical-align but neither exporter wrote it, so a
mid-cell callout label jumped to the row's top on every save. odf-kit's
CellOptions and docx's TableCell both take it natively; DOCX import maps
w:vAlign in as well.
The TOC node regenerated over every heading level and minted a title of its
own. A file asking for level 1 only (text:outline-level, Word's TOC \o range)
got a 43-entry index instead of 12 — a full page where LibreOffice needs a
quarter, plus a second "Table of Contents" under the file's own heading.
maxLevel and an empty title now round-trip through both formats.
A formula node stores only its LaTeX source; the MathML on screen, the ODF
formula object and Word's OMML are derived from it, and both importers parse
foreign markup back into that source, so an imported formula stays editable.
Word documents were losing their formulas outright: m:oMath sits beside the w:r
runs in its own namespace, past convertInline's `namespaceURI !== W` guard.
Text boxes and shapes had no offsets at all, and for images the wrap side
overrode the x: a file that names the side its text flows on lost the
coordinate, our own export included. Side and place are read separately now,
and one helper turns both into the float's margins for every frame kind.
Letter case, the underline's shape and colour, a double strikethrough and a
freely raised run all had no home in the model, so every one of them was
dropped on import. They ride the marks now, render in CSS, and round-trip.
odf-kit's run formatting has a field for none of them, so a sentinel folds
them into the run's own automatic style — the route the character styles
already take, and it reaches every path odf-kit serializes.
Word's positionV and ODF's svg:y say how far below its paragraph a frame
sits; ignoring it put every figure at the anchor itself. It is the float's
top margin, so lines that fit above the frame still flow there, as in Word.
