Hi :)
Bug report time! :) I think it would be good to see documents get lighter
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
They already compare favourably with documents produced by other
office suites but even lighter than that would be great
Regards from
Tom :)

*Subject:* Re: [libreoffice-users] Why does writer create
automatic styles for every new element?
Hi,
thanks for the answers so far, however my question isn't answered yet.
@Tom: Well, it's also my plan to stick to using styles. The
problem here
is not the odt-format itself, but it's the somewhat "messy"
implementation in LibreOffice. As I said, when manually removing
direct
formatting (which hasn't been applied anyway) I get
<text:p text:style-name="Title">This is my title</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Text_20_body">This is a text body
paragraph.</text:p>
in "content.xml", which is straight and clean odt-formatting.
However,
my trouble is the default behaviour of LibreOffice, that it
defines all
those styles "P1", "P2", "T1", ... which are apparently perfectly
meaningless and unnecessary.
So, who knows how to get rid of this overhead by default? Or
should this
be considered a bug?
Cheers,
Holger
