--- Comment #2 from RichardNeill <libreoffice@richardneill.org> ---
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #1)
The enhancement is for handling text within a paragraph style.
Suspect the limiting factor will end up being ODF standards, as this
paragraph layout is not achievable as a described style in ODF. So, while it
could probably be implemented--we'd have to extend ODF to be able to hold it
in our document archives. Making it somewhat undesirable.
I see what you mean here. However, it is still something that is badly needed,
and really widely requested.
By the way, yes tab stops are not a very efficient way to do this. However,
the layout effect is trivial to achieve using either tables, or frames
depending on the needs of your document.
I don't think either of these works. It's certainly very inefficient to embed
tables around all lines in a paragraphs.
Let me give you an example. Here is a document I wrote recently (exported to
pdf from LO): http://www.richardneill.org/images/electronics_supervision.pdf
Look at the 3rd page (titled "Resistors"), and the small blue side-notes on the
RHS, such as "← Voltage across the resistor". There are very many of these
throughout the document. These should be right-aligned consistently, but as you
can see, they are actually left-aligned with inaccurate bodging with tabs and
spaces.
It's important that the "right-align of partial text" is easy to do (ideally as
simple as a single click on the format button) - and a table is not the way to
do it (partly as it takes time, partly because tables are semantic objects, not
layout objects).
Thanks
