Re: [libreoffice-l10n] "body text" and "text body"

Hello Olivier,

Wikipedia explains the concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_text

My guess is that possibly "body" refers to the largest mass or "bulk" of 
the text, or maybe the metaphor is "head and body" (headings being the 
"head").

Other languages may use different metaphors, though. In some languages 
the metaphor is "bread". For appropriate translation, I'd suggest 
consulting a dictionary.

Best regards,
Tuomas
