//I'm in favor of WONTFIX because basic direct formatting is expected by most
users (comment 3). Surely we want to educate them we also do not want to become
something like Latex.//

I'm not sure I understand the basis for this objection? It's not an either/or
situation. Allowing end-users to access soft-formatting as easily as
hard-formatting in no way defeats the expectations of most users. I see no
reason why the default wouldn't remain hard-formatting.

What I'm asking for is the ability to more easily access soft-formatting. Were
LO to allow button assignment or re-assignment of buttons (or shortcut keys) as
a post installation customization, any user content with hard-formatting would
notice no difference at all.

As for the Latex comparison, I would point out that soft-formatting is already
a fully integrated feature set of LO! I'm not asking for the introduction of
features "like LATEX". They're already there. LO is already "something like
Latex" as far as that goes. All I'm asking is that soft-formatting be made more
easily accessible for writers increasingly writing for ebooks.
