It adds the request of nested styles (<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - UI missing for nesting character styles" href="show_bug.cgi?id=115311">bug 115311</a> c5) that makes a combination of paragraph and character styles necessary and the styles inspector from <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED WONTFIX - Should unapplying Bold remove the attribute or force text to Regular?" href="show_bug.cgi?id=112852">bug 112852</a>, see also <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Improving the "Style & Formatting" sidebar tab" href="show_bug.cgi?id=90646">bug 90646</a>). And takes also <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - UI: Show indicator of currently applied style when a different style is selected in styles sidebar" href="show_bug.cgi?id=94427">bug 94427</a> into account (see comment at the styles inspector). The actual requirements for all those tickets are: * Eve wants to use paragraph and character styles to properly format the document. * Eve wants to get insights to applied styles to format the document consistently. * Eve wants to apply styles easily meaning to organize, sort, and filter the lists. * Eve wants to see what properties a style has to make sure the applied variant is correct. While the mockup in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - UI missing for nesting character styles" href="show_bug.cgi?id=115311">bug 115311</a> shows more or less all properties, I went here with the difference to the parent style to cover with the limited space. That means Default would always have no information in the style indicator. Drawback is that some special children of Text Body, for example, with just have one different property list only this particular value. For the document, it's a bit confusing to highlight character styles, eg. "Slowly" has a background color (direct formatting here, shown as gray overlay), which would spoil the yellow indicator. The only ultimate solution is to also have character styles at the left "indicator line", toggled with paragraph information. I don't think that's a good solution, however.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
