ODF 1.2-1 section 9.1.12 <table:table-columns> Description not Meaningful

    Details

    • Proposal:
      Hide

      Replace the single paragraph in section 9.1.12 with the following:

      "The <table:table-columns> element specifies a sequence of one or more <table:table-column> elements. The interpretation of the sequence is the same as if the <table:table-columns> start and end tags are not present."

      Replace the single paragraph in section 9.1.12 with the following: "The <table:table-columns> element specifies a sequence of one or more <table:table-column> elements. The interpretation of the sequence is the same as if the <table:table-columns> start and end tags are not present."

      Description

      Section 9.1.12 provides the following single sentence:

      "The <table:table-columns> element contains groups of <table:table-column> 9.1.6 elements that do not repeat when a table spans more than one page.

      Since this is the default behavior for any <table:table-column> element that is not a child of a <table:table-header-columns> element, the description is not meaningful. (See also OFFICE-3838.)

          The only place, where LibreOffice writes this element, is in case of internal tables in charts. But in that place it makes no difference in reading the document, if the element is removed and <table:table-column> elements are used directly. From view of LibreOffice the element <table:table-columns> is dispensable. If no one objects, my proposal would be to set it to "deprecate" in ODF1.3., and to do not add something in ODF 1.2 Errata 01, because it is not worth the effort.

          Andreas, does Gnumeric use the element <table:table-columns> in a way, that it is meaningful?
