Hi. The purpose of the following set of patches is to rename "Default Formatting" to "Clear Default Formatting" across all the suite. The goal is to clarify what this function currently does and should do. The current situation is that everybody has its own interpretation of this, mainly because "Default Style" and "Default Format" are different things and neither of them mean "clear direct formatting". This mess doesn't help us have a common ground for decision taking. Even the specification[1] behind it is ambiguous. After a bit of analysis, I found that formatting applied over styles is uniformly called "direct" throughout the help but some code still talk about "hard" format. This should allow us to have a common ground for this. Should another resetting-specific need arise, then it will clearly be an enhancement request. Should a function do anything different than just "clear direct formatting" it will clearly be bug. I hope the user to benefit too, as the new name better answers the question "what does this do": it clears direct formatting. The patches rename all existing instances of "Default Formatting" to "Clear Direct Formatting", including menus and help texts. Search was done using ./g grep and replacement was made by hand. Some instances were not changed. For example, there was uno:ResetAttrs and uno:SetDefault, which obviously refer to different things. uno:SetDefault was left alone. The set of patches apply to different repositories. In the upcoming days I will include another set of patches to rename "Clear formatting", which removes direct and sets default style, to "Clear all formatting" (I'm not so convinced about the phrasing, but that was the best+shortest text I could come up with). This should clarify it even more. I request for comments. There are still other instances of "Default Formatting" that should be renamed to "Apply Default Style", but I can't find it as a user, so I'll wait for this.
