has only bulleted and numbered list. Are there any plans to add something
like that in the coming releases?
Currently I am using a work-around: A paragraph with no indent for the
first line and a single tab stop with the same length as the left indent:
Code: Select all
The item TAB explanation follows here and might span over
several lines
apply a character style to the part before the TAB.
I had to apply this to an existing plain text document (actually it was a
MS Word document, but its styles were screwed up totally, so I decided
to export it to plain text and start from scratch in OOo using copy and
paste from the plain text file), hence I got tired of selecting and clicking
Ctrl-B quite soon and planned to use a macro for this purpose.
But the search&replace part in the macro did not work for me.
(See 3947 [Solved] Negative regular expression search for TAB)
Maybe a solution with a two column table might be okay as well, but
I personally don't like tables if they are not used for table data
and in that special case the behaviour for longer items might be not
what I want:
I prefer to let the long item overlap into the descriptive text instead
of increasing the indent (aka width of the first column).
Any ideas?
