Layout > Page numbers: 1 / i / I / a / A and a first-page number, both
round-tripping. ODF has no document-level start — probed, LibreOffice
puts style:page-number on the first paragraph's own style — so the
export mints one there and the page layout carries style:num-format;
Word takes both in the first section's w:pgNumType. The page *count*
field stays decimal, as the one both of them write does.
A .* toggle beside match-case and whole-word takes the term as a
pattern; a pattern that will not compile simply finds nothing. Each
match keeps its captures, so the replacement expands $1…$9 and $&
the way LibreOffice does — Word has no equivalent.
Layout > Hyphenation, off by default as in both word processors. The
browser hyphenates in the document's own language (the body host gets
lang and hyphens: auto) — measured, a justified German paragraph takes
15 lines instead of 17. ODF keeps fo:hyphenate in the base style's TEXT
properties: probed, in paragraph-properties LibreOffice ignores it and
drops it on the next save. Word takes w:autoHyphenation.
LibreOffice's rule set: typographic quotes per document language, its
dash matrix, its replacement table, sentence capitalization with an
abbreviation exception list, and TWo INitials. One handleTextInput
plugin listed last, so every input rule still fires first; the rule
table itself is a pure function under test. Auto-URL and auto-list were
already TipTap's and now answer to the same checkboxes.
LibreOffice's File > Properties / Word's File > Info, reachable from
both chromes' file menus. ODF writes them into the meta.xml odf-kit
already emits (one meta:keyword each, generator EdenText); DOCX passes
them to the package's core properties. Both importers read them back,
and LibreOffice shows every field from either format.
LibreOffice's style pool, probed: Heading 6 is 12pt bold italic and
Heading 4 italic too. MAX_HEADING_LEVEL drives the extension registry,
the shortcut plugin, the TOC depth and both importers' yardstick, so
only the constant table and the CSS selector lists had to grow.
Bookmarks/cross-references move to Implemented — they already are.
Per cell the attr beside the computed value, cell and row height, the gap above
and below the content, and each block's margins — plus the style sheet and the
spacing model, which is what decides whether the content fills the box.
Neither word processor passes it into a cell — LibreOffice puts cell text in
its Table Contents style, Word's table styles carry w:spacing after=0 — so the
space filled the cell and vertical alignment had no slack left to move the text
in, which read as the alignment being ignored. The space above is LibreOffice's
alone, so only the add model zeroes that too. Both exporters write the zeros
onto the paragraph, and only when the default style has spacing at all.
Renames the product in the docs, the page title and the DOCX creator, and moves
the whole storage namespace from odf-editor- to edentext-. The prefix is a
per-origin namespace, so it stays the product name rather than a generic one.
The underline hangs 2.5px below its tab, onto the band. Collapsed there is no
band to hang onto, so it landed on the ribbon's bottom border with 1px of chrome
under it against 5.5px above. The strip lends it the room while it is alone.
The band was a round 108px while its tallest control measured 65, so each tab
carried a strip of empty chrome above its buttons. Padding, gaps and the caret
slot come in, the band is cut to what the controls actually need, and the style
gallery stops short of the group label it was sitting on: 144px of chrome to
118px. Line-heights are pinned in px — as ratios they hand the band's height to
whatever font resolves, and the group footers hang out of it.
The rule that drops the space above it never applied to a Word document:
:is(p, h1, …, .toc) takes the class specificity of .toc, so the later
spacing-model rule tied at (0,4,0) and won on order — and the heading
opening a two-column section sat 3.5mm below the column beside it.
Zeroing the property both spacing models read settles it, and beats the
block's own inline value as a margin would not. Probed: LibreOffice
starts both columns level; a two-column page now matches it 45 lines
deep, where it diverged at line 8.
Word kerns nothing unless w:kern names a size to start at, and the Office
theme declares it on Title alone — but TextProps.kerning stored only the
off state, and a style inherits its parent's, so a title under a document
that kerns nothing could never turn it back on. Its 26pt line then ran
0.36mm over the text width and wrapped a word onto a second line where
LibreOffice sets it in one (measured 151.64mm kerned against 151.98).
Both states are stored now, and both formats read and write them.
w:cols/@w:space is twips, and a producer writing EMU there (360000 = 1cm
in EMU) had the importer clamp its 635cm to the model's 5cm ceiling: a
two-column section came out with 51.3mm columns on a 152.4mm text width,
its second column 24.9mm right of where LibreOffice draws it. Below the
text width LibreOffice lays the declared gap out literally (probed from
720 to 8000 twips), so only the unholdable value is dropped — both sides
now start the second column at 108.0mm.
Word ranks a table style's w:pPr under the paragraph style, so a style zeroing
w:after does not take the space after off a Normal that declares one — probed
against soffice, which keeps 8pt there while its w:line=240 still beats
docDefaults' 276. Read as an override, every cell paragraph lost its spacing.
Spacing in a cell now layers docDefaults ← table style ← the paragraph's own
chain (baked in, since a cell carries no style name) ← direct w:pPr.
Corpus 934 → 900; the fixture it was measured on 66 → 34, its page count exact
for the first time (50 against 50, from 44).
The marker moves from a CSS ::before to a widget decoration: generated
content is no text node, so it reached neither the PDF nor a measurement.
The note also carries the paragraph style its file names, so font, size and
colour are the document's; only the hanging indent stays the editor's,
because the style model has no first-line half to pair with the margin.
Adds a unit test for the numbering and the settings, plus the architecture
doc and the two open parity findings.
Numbering format, start value, restart, position, prefix/suffix and the two
styles per class, plus the separator's length, thickness, spacing, alignment
and colour. The separator rides :root custom properties, so editor.css draws
the line and pageBreaks.ts reserves its band from the same values. A settings
change is no document change, so it carries a resync meta — without it the
numbering kept the format it was typed under.
Each class gets its own part via the docx package's footnotes/endnotes maps,
counted from 1, and the anchor becomes a reference run. Import reads both
parts, skipping the separator entries Word references from nowhere, and
flattens a multi-paragraph note to hard breaks. The numbering settings ride
w:footnotePr/w:endnotePr in settings.xml — a post-pack pass, as the package
exposes neither.
Anchors become an FNT sentinel and each note is hoisted to a top-level
paragraph, so its text rides every existing pass — marks, character styles,
links, bookmarks and formulas included; applyNotes cuts the region back out
into <text:note> at the anchor. styles.xml gains LibreOffice's own Footnote/
Endnote styles, the notes-configuration per class and the separator, and the
resolver reads all of it back. The importer builds the section instead of
warning that notes were dropped.
The placement loop moves into placeLeaves(), which takes a per-page note
reservation off each contentEnd; a bounded fixed point re-runs it until the
reservation and the pages its own anchors land on agree. Each break now
carries the leaf offset it applies from, so an anchor below a line split
follows its half of the paragraph. Endnotes stay in flow and open their own
page, as LibreOffice collects them.
The anchor is an inline atom, the note text a block in the one noteSection
at the document end; a sync plugin keeps notes in anchor order, renumbers
them per class and drops the ones whose anchor is gone. Numbering, indent,
size and separator defaults are LibreOffice's, read out of a document it
saved. Endnotes still render in flow at the document end — lifting a
footnote to the foot of its page is the next step.
A cell's grid box claimed one row, so a w:vMerge reaching the table's last
row sat inside the banded region instead of on its bottom edge — and a band
declaring insideH nil then dropped the line. The merge extent is counted
before the covered rows are read.
Measured against LibreOffice: the bottom rule runs the full width under a
merged first column, which the editor now draws too.
The stripe began one row late: regionsAt counted the second body row as the
first band. Probed on a five-row fixture with a red band1Horz — LibreOffice
shades row 0 where the style paints no header region, and the row under the
header where it does.
The corpus cannot see this (no fixture uses the editor's own registry), so it
stayed at 739; checked by eye and by the unit test's inverted expectations. A
document with a table style assigned re-bands on its next open.
Only direct w:pPr/w:pBdr was read, so a Title style's line went missing and
everything under it sat 1.9mm high. The box now goes to the style registry,
where ParaProps' borders already render and round-trip.
Two thirds of that gap is the file's own w:pBdr w:space, carried as
ParaProps.borderPadding (ODF fo:padding) and applied to the ruled sides only —
padding the top as well pushes the paragraph's first line down.
Corpus 761 -> 739.
w:tblInd means the distance to the cell's text up to Word 2010, so a table
indented 0 hangs its left cell margin into the page margin and its first column
lines up with the body. We drew every such table 2.2mm right of LibreOffice.
Import subtracts it, marginLeft may now be negative, and both exports carry the
edge as it stands.
Word 2013 (compatibilityMode 15) redefined it as the edge — probed both ways
against soffice on one file, 29.6mm against 31.75mm. Corpus 795 -> 761.
w:tblStylePr — header row, banded rows, first/last column — was never read, so a
table styled in Word arrived as a bare grid. Import bakes each area into the cells
now (fill, borders, run marks): the file's own style has no registry entry to
re-derive regions from, and the bake is what a re-export carries.
A band's box is the whole banded region, so its insideH is the line between two
band rows; banding counts from the first body row, as in Word and LibreOffice.
Corpus 803 -> 795, page counts unchanged.
ODF style:writing-mode="rl-tb" and Word's section-level w:bidi were not
read, so a Hebrew two-column page put column 1 on the left where
LibreOffice puts it on the right — checked against pdftoppm of its own
PDF, since the harness bands both columns into one line and never gets
that far. It is a document setting now, applied as `dir` on the body
host, which is all CSS multi-column needs; it also gives bidi the base
direction the file means. Round-trips through both formats. The
header/footer band keeps its own direction, as LibreOffice lays it out.
ODF style:page-usage="mirrored" and Word's w:mirrorMargins make the
declared left/right the inner/outer pair, which an even page swaps.
Read, rendered and written back in both formats; the body rides the
per-block inset a section's own margins already use, the header and
footer band moves with it. Measured on a mirrored two-column file:
its page 2 went from 12.7-184.1mm to 31.8-203.2, which is LibreOffice's
to 0.1mm, and its running head with it.
A pagination pass measures the DOM the last one changed, so a fresh
document searched for its layout in public — 12 of them over 550ms on a
two-column file, a phantom third page among them. Two real causes: the
flow's overflow test had no headroom, so it read its own last answer
(880px fits undecorated, 913px overflows once the decoration pins the
column height), and a split dropped the height decorations without
clearing their cache key. The rest is inherent to measuring rendered
DOM, so the page stays hidden until its layout repeats: one visible
layout instead of 12, and 21-139ms where there are no columns.
Rows & Columns follows Word: four big buttons carrying a 28px glyph and a
two-line label, with the three deletions folded into one Entfernen dropdown
beside them so the group keeps its width.
Two lines cost the band 12px (--w-ribbon-h 96 -> 108). The labels size to
min-content, not max-width, which a wrapped box ignores; and the inserts drop
the reserved caret slot, without which the group's foot label sits 8px below
every other group's.
Three measurement bugs in columnsFlow, each worth a page on its own:
rects became lines by their top, so a raised run counted as a line of
its own (192 for 111); the split probed `left + 1`, which is a line's
*end* right-to-left, so it kept a word too many and the flow then shaved
one line per pass; and one median advance under-measured a paragraph
whose lines differ in height (2834px real against 2453 estimated), by
enough to budget 74 lines into room for 64. The chain used to flip
between one fragment and two forever; it now settles after one split.
text:display="none" now drops the paragraph its style hides and the stored
value of a field that carries the attribute — LibreOffice lays out neither.
A hidden heading is the exception and still renders: it is the outline the
running head's chapter field reads, and dropping it blanked every head that
quotes one. The editor has no way to hold a block it does not draw.
ODF carries western, asian and complex-script font properties side by side and
a word processor picks by the character's script; the importer read only the
western pair, so a complex-script run came out at the document default.
Decided per run — the finest split the model has — so a document with no
complex script is untouched, and our own export (all three written alike)
round-trips. Measured: a two-column page's line pitch 7.5mm -> 5.9 against
LibreOffice's 6.0.
Brings the ribbon chrome, its tabs and controls, the Paragraph/Tabs dialogs
and the shared selection reader over from word_ui. No file overlap with
main's cover-graphic fix, so the merge is clean.
Orientation is one page turned, overlapping so both copies keep full size
and the upright one is traced only where the other leaves it visible. Size
measures a page with dimension arrows; Columns is a page carrying two
columns of text, matching the previews in its own menu; Header and Footer
are a whole page with the zone filled in.
Measured painted boxes: every glyph now centres on 8, 8 and spans 12.9 to
14 units, against 15.16 x 8.56 for the old Orientation.
Word shows the layout rather than naming it. The page is 20 units of text
width with a 2-unit gutter, so the columns narrow as their count rises;
surface and border come from the palette, so it follows the theme.
Only equal widths exist here — Word's Left and Right would need a per-column
width on the node.
'Überschrift 4' measures 58.4px against 56px of inner width, so the two
characters that got cut were the ones telling the five headings apart.
Six pixels wider, and no name in either locale truncates.
Ten of the fifteen caret buttons ran the same toggleMenu from both halves,
so they were split for nothing. They are single buttons now, with the caret
under the label rather than beside it — 13px narrower each, and Word's own
Paste button.
The tint takes the whole button, label included: a row mixes buttons whose
label is inside the button with pickers whose caption is a sibling, so half
of them lit up under the words and half did not. `captionClicks` gives the
caption the click to match, and the picker's trigger takes the icon box's
34px so glyphs and words land on one line.
The big split button already stacked, so the caret only needed a menu:
paste, and paste without formatting. Both call the reader the context
menu has always used.
Word offers a third, Merge Formatting. The engine reads the clipboard as
HTML or as text, so there is no third thing to offer.
Three failures from one cause — nothing had a floor. The Styles group is
the only one that may shrink, so it absorbed everything down to 8px: an
empty gallery frame whose label reached across the next group's. It now
stops at two tiles, the label truncates, and the tab strip wraps rather
than pushing the page into a horizontal scroll that left the band ending
short of its own tabs.
A chevron in the tab strip drops the band, leaving the strip; persisted, so
it survives a reload. Clicking a tab expands again, since a collapsed strip
whose tabs do nothing is a trap.
Word puts that chevron in the band's corner. It rides the strip so the band
keeps its full width: a flex row can only reserve a column, never a corner.
Skipped: Word floats the band over the document until the next click lands
in the text.
The hidden input sat inside the classic header, so where the File System
Access API is missing handleOpen clicked nothing at all. It moves out of
the chrome fork, which both paths route through.
The label drops the extension while it is there: the input has always
taken .odt, .ott and .docx.
Word's dark palette on the same metrics: Fluent's dark neutrals, chrome
#1f1f1f, and the accent lightened because #185abd on a dark chrome is
unreadable. AllBlack goes on to Word's Black theme. The lightened accent
cannot carry white text, so the File pill and the pickers' --color-primary
take a second, filled accent — identical to the first in light mode.
The group centres its controls, so the gallery sat at content height — 36px
of tile in a 67px row. The wrap opts out with align-self, and the sample
takes the height the name leaves over.
Two letters fewer buy the preview room to scale: 1px per pt with 21 as the
tile's ceiling, measured against its inner width. Heading 1 now reads a
third larger than Heading 5 instead of a pixel.
Word's Equation button is a pi, as its Symbol button beside it is an omega.
Same canvas, baseline and weight as that omega, at font-size 20 rather than
its 14: pi is lowercase, so at one size its x-height measures 1.44x smaller.
The glyph was a stem on a base with no flag, so it read as a down-tack rather
than the digit it stands for.
A caret welded to the right of a big button floated at icon height, beside the
label instead of with it, on every menu button of the Layout tab. Big split
buttons stack now, as in Word: the icon runs the command, the label and its
caret open the menu. Measured: every label in a group still tops at 87px.
Every reused picker anchors its panel to its own trigger, so the band clipped
it: the table grid showed one row of eight. `pinPanels`, one action on the
band, pins whatever panel mounts inside it, and panels now drop below the whole
band instead of over the controls under them.
Their triggers also kept the classic toolbar's compact box, so Table, Symbol
and Date & time were half the size of the buttons beside them. `.rb-captioned`
moves to global.css, replacing four copies, and gives the trigger the big
button's 34px box, a 28px glyph and the ribbon's own hover and open tints.
Sub- and superscript were SVG paths whose X sat on its own baseline, two
units apart from each other and a size larger than the B, I, U and S beside
them. They are text now, in the same font and size, with the digit on a
relative offset because a flex item ignores vertical-align. Clear formatting
stays a path, redrawn upright with its T on the measured letter baseline.
Ink top and baseline agree within 0.15px, measured in the browser.
The shared pickers frame their trigger for the classic toolbar's island; in a
ribbon row of borderless buttons that reads as a different control, and at
27-28px it broke the row's line. Every trigger is 30px there now. Redrew the
change-case and highlighter glyphs, which were malformed and off-centre.
The dialog sized each row on its own, so a long label wrapped and "pt" vs "cm"
shifted the field beside it - fixed unit width, no wrap, one 2x3 grid.
