            Bug ID: 137336
           Summary: ENHANCEMENT Saving styles as open format
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium

          Reporter: vegafjord at protonmail.com

Description:
It is currently inconvinient to manage styles. I like to use a custom style in
LibreOffice Writer. I use this style accross documents. There are two ways that
I am currently doing so: 

1. Open an existing document with the preferred style. Save as title of new
document. Erease everything. Start typing. 
2. New document. Import style. Select .odt document you want to import from.

#1 is very unintuitive, but does the job. It becomes even less intuitive if you
figure you want to change the style in the middle of writing. 
#2 is unintuitive because you often don't associate a style with a document. It
also takes a lot of time to navigate. And it is incompatible with .docx which
is my preferred format. 

You can't preview a style. You can't switch back and forth between them. It's
an incredibly inflexible system that needs improvement. 


I suggest to implement a feature to save styles in an open format. I believe
this would empower the user, the developer and the LibreOffice project. 

Users can share fonts with eachother easily. The process of selecting custom
sytles becomes more intuitive. It's much easier to implement style management.  

Developers can use the styles in their own projects who use some word
processing. Developers can create font management software to empower document
management even further.
