Re: [libreoffice-users] Book-writing with Writer

Wolfgang,

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm trying to understand what you're saying. You

I've created my own paragraph styles, and I have one called "BodySingle." 
It's just a single-spaced body of text with no paragraph indents. When I 
create a document in WordPerfect (an old Version 7) and look at a document 
in reveal codes, I get a code that says, for example, "Para Style: 
BodySingle" before each paragraph that has BodySingle applied to it and the 
same code at the end of each paragraph with that style.

When I look at a similar document in LO's "content.xml" file, I see "<text:p 
text:style-name="BodySingle">" before each BodySingle paragraph and a 
</text:p> at the end of each paragraph.

The only real difference I see is that LO ends each paragraph with a more 
generic tag </text:p:> with no specific reference to the applied style 
whereas WordPerfect ends each paragraph with a specific reference to the 
applied style.

Is that the distinction you're making between the two methods, and if so, 
how does that matter?
