HI Team

Topics and Discussion:
 * Update calc guide formatting for 7.2 (SF)
AI:    - Cleanup and create 7.2 folder + covers (OH)

I created the Calc Guide 7.2 chapters in the 7.2 WIP folder.
Files were "cleaned". By Cleand I mean

1) All direct formatting were removed
2) Bullet lists were cleaned
3) Image anchoring and captions adjusted
4) Chapter contents are wrapped in sections in the following schema:

a) SEC_LOGO holds the top chapter image/logo
b) SEC_GUIDE holds the Guide name + version
c) SEC_TITLE holds the chapter title and subtitle
d) SEC_DISPLAYAREA holds from the copyright to end of chapter.

These sections don't affect ODT and PDF output and are important for a web output, as displayed in
https://books.libreoffice.org/en/CG71/CG7105-UsingGraphics.html

Kind regards

Hi, Olivier,

could you please clean also the finished 7.1 GS guide chapters?

Best regards,
Martin

Hi Olivier,

When you mention "Image anchoring and captions adjusted", are you referring to a change in our recommended methods?

Regards,

Steve

[ohallot]

Hi Steve

Affirmative.

My recommended change is:

Image(screenshot) anchored AS CHARACTER on a paragraph with style "Figure".
Caption added with style "Caption"
Wrapping frame anchored "AS_CHARACTER" on a paragraph with style "Figure".

I have a Basic script that changes the current settings inside a chapter to the new. There are corner cases that needs a manual review though.

Regards
Olivier
