3 assumptions
assumption #1
many graphic designers
know the basics of css.
assumption #2
in the future, most
graphic designers will
know some css.
assumption #3
90% of text style features
we use also exist in css.
feature request
provide a "code view"
in the styles GUI.
• does define "underline"• does not define size• does not define typeface
is inherited from defaultstyle
(but how can we know?)
let’s define another font
indeed, the FONT is defined.
but how can we undefine it?
there’s no GUI for that.
a proposal
#1: we can see what’s defined
#2: we can undefine!
maybe also:
bring the style syntax
closer to CSS.
we’re doing some CSS conversion anyway:
• HTML import / export
• EPUB export
thanx ;)
