Section 17.472.22 <text:variable-set> (style:data-style-name)

Ed. Note Not at all sure about the name matching data style requirement. Not a bad idea but why not use reliable referencing and make it uniform?

Oliver says: "In my opinion the content of a <text:variable-set> also reflects the

application of the style to the set value. Thus, not in all cases the

content exactly equals the value stored in the attributes.

E.g. the value of a variable of type float is "42". This is stored in

attribute office:value="42". But, the applied style defines that the

variable should be displayed with the minimum of 4 digits. Thus, its

content would be "0042".

Thus, the sentence, referenced by the ed. note, is correct. But, I do

not know, if its part "..., which can be empty if the text:display

attribute is set to none." is needed. "
