Description Justin L 2016-10-31 14:04:28 UTC
Description:
New documents do not create a valid ODF 1.2 extended file if the properties dialog is opened (for sure with the page properties, likely any property that contains the fill area tab).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new Writer document 
2. Open the Page Properties (Format - Page) and press OK to close it.
3. Save as .odt format
4. Check validity at https://odf-validator.rhcloud.com/ (using 1.2 extended, not auto-detect)

Actual Results:  
The document is NOT extended conformant ODF1.2!

Expected Results:
The document is extended conformant ODF1.2!


Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Regina Henschel 2016-10-31 16:08:23 UTC
It is a hard problem. The "draw:fill" attribute may not be used in the element <style:page-layout-properties>. And the element <style:page-layout> has no other children or attributes that are suitable.

For Draw and Impress, this is solved by an element <style:style> of style family "drawing-page". But this family is only usable with draw and presentation documents.

For Calc it is solved by restricting the background filling to color and image, because those do not need an attribute "draw:fill". Color is written by the attribute "fo:background-color" and an image by the child element <style:background-image> of the element <style:page-layout-properties>.
Writer was restricted in the same way in older versions of LibreOffice.

So currently exists no way to express other kind of fillings beside color or image for a text document or for a spreadsheet in ODF.

There are suggestions required, how to solve this problem in ODF. Such considerations would have been necessary _before_ implementing the new feature.

Another problem is, to get it into the namespace "loext", because only whole elements and attributes have a namespace, but not a single value.

Where should this be discussed, so that it is really public? Here in the issue, or on the dev mailing list, or in a Wiki page or ...?

As far as I can see, Format > Page dialog in Writer (Libreoffice 5.1, so the old one existing prior to GSoC code merge) offers *all* kinds of fills for a page, not only colour and bitmap/image. Does this mean that the other fill types have never been saved to ODF and now they are?

As for Calc (again in Libreoffice 5.1), I only see the option to set background to solid colour (Format > Cells > Background) and the tab page used for that is different than the tab page used for shape fill (Background vs. Area, they only look similar)

The file format error slipped in from LO 4 to LO 5.
Version 4.1 and 4.2 had the old background selection with color and image as still available in Calc.
Version 4.3 and 4.4 had the item "gradient" added, but that was without any function.
Version 4.5 had got fill kind "gradient" and "hatching" and the worked, but they were not written to file, and therefore any gradient or hatching was lost on save and replaced with a single color fill in LO 4.5.

Writing invalid ODF slipped in after version 4.5 and it is not a problem of this year GSoC.

The error itself was made in version 4, when adding a new kind of filling, without considering ODF file format.

Comment 6 Luke Deller 2017-07-24 13:01:35 UTC
I understand from these comments that ODF does not support page fill by gradient/hatching for text documents, so we will need to move this information into the "loext" extension namespace.

To achieve this how about we make a child element of <style:page-layout-properties> named <loext:page-fill>, and move all the draw:fill-* attributes onto this child element?  Or any better suggestions?

I'm no sure about a solution. We need to keep in mind, how a final solution without namespace "loext:" can be realized in ODF 1.3. Do you have an idea about changing the schema and the specification?

From a technical point of view, you can put all the currently not allowed draw:fill-* attributes individually into the "loext:" namespace, without a new element. Please talk to Thorsten Behrens about a principle solution, perhaps via IRC.

No real better ideas - but loext:page-fill seems redundant to me, too. Perhaps we  can restructure the schema a bit, so that fill attributes are grouped better, instead of repeatedly listed at various places?
Comment 10 Regina Henschel 2017-07-25 16:37:31 UTC
All the draw:fill-* attributes are in a <define name="style-graphic-fill-properties-attlist"> symbol in the schema. Unfortunately it has some attributes more than needed here. We could add a reference to the "style-graphic-fill-properties-attlist" symbol into the <define name="style-page-layout-properties-attlist"> symbol in the schema. I'm not sure, whether we need to exclude some of the attributes in the spec description and how this has to be done. Perhaps we need to extract some attributes from the <define name="style-graphic-fill-properties-attlist"> and use them instead.

The fo:background-color attribute is wrapped in a <define name="common-background-color-attlist"> symbol in the schema.

I prefer to have the draw:fill-* attributes at the same level as the fo:* attributes. ODF1.2 has already a rule how to handle draw:fill and fo:background-color, if both attributes exist on the same style, in the section 20.175.

So here it would mean to exchange the erroneous "draw:fill" with a "loext:fill", same for all other attributes on which the validator reports an error. All kind of fill styles have to be checked.

I know, that for paragraph background the way with new <loext:graphic-properties> was chosen. But the paragraph style has a different context. It is a <style:style> element and the selection of the attributes is done by family, whereas the page background belongs to a <style:page-layout> element.

Thorsten: Is it OK for you?

Luke: Do you want to work on this issue? If yes, then assign it to you. And if you have finished work on the issue, please add the new use of "loext:" namespace to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/ODF_Implementer_Notes/List_of_LibreOffice_ODF_Extensions

Looks good?
Comment 13 Regina Henschel 2017-07-30 12:23:47 UTC
The file with loext: namespace looks good. Please test in addition, that the loext: namespace is not written in case, you set the save option to "1.2" instead of "1.2 Extended (recommended)" in Tools > Options > Load/Save. It should be correct automatically, but to be sure.
Comment 14 Regina Henschel 2017-08-16 14:03:30 UTC
Putting the needed attributes somehow and without plan into a private namespace, would make the documents validate against "ODF 1.2. extended". But such solution looks "quick&dirty" to me. A concept is needed how the specification for pages in Writer and Calc has to be changed. For example a solution for page-wide background images is effected by such concept too. So please develop such concept _before_ implementing a solution.
Comment 15 Regina Henschel 2017-08-17 08:19:22 UTC
Created attachment 135608 [details]
Manually applied the suggested changes

I suggest a different approach:
Add the attribute draw:style-name to the element <style:master-page> and let is refer a <style:style> element with style:family="drawing-page".

This family allows all the needed attributes.

Advantage:
(1) No private namespace needed. The document validates against the ODF1.2 schema.
(2) The style family "drawing-page" provides the attribute draw:background-size. With its value "full" it would be possible implement the long demanded background fill till page edge without any change to ODF1.2.

It might be needed to make some additions to the textual part in the ODF1.2 specification in "19.219.27<style:master-page>" to explicitly allow this for text documents and spreadsheets too.
Comment 16 Luke Deller 2017-08-28 12:48:10 UTC
Reusing style:family="drawing-page" certainly does sound more attractive than using a private namespace.

What would we do with the header and footer backgrounds, currently represented as attributes on <style:header-footer-properties>?  (See attachment 134987 [details] for an example of this).
Comment 17 Regina Henschel 2017-08-28 14:07:48 UTC
I have discussed this with Thorsten. He too thinks, that for the page properties we should use a <style:style> element of family "drawing-page" and the reference in the draw:style-name attribute.

For header and footer exists no solution with an existing element. Similar filling problems exist with paragraph, section, table, table-row and table-cell. They all have the attribute fo:background-color and the child <style:background-image> but no complex fillings with gradient, hatch or transparency. Therefore I currently investigate, whether a common solution is possible. I'm working on a solution for the schema, but I have not finished yet. There is my mail https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2017-August/078296.html. In case you have ideas, we can discuss it there.

So if you want to start, I suggest to first handle those parts, which can be solved in a "drawing-page". That is independent from the header-footer-properties. Unfortunately it is more complex than adding a namespace. Are you interested nevertheless?
Comment 18 Luke Deller 2017-08-29 13:17:43 UTC
Okay that sounds like a good plan.  Yes it does look more complex because Writer does not currently understand this style family, but I am reading through the code for importing this into Draw and will have a look into how this might be refactored to be used in Writer also.

Comment 20 Luke Deller 2017-08-31 13:24:40 UTC
Thank you for sharing that Regina.

Regarding variants A & B, and how LibreOffice can write valid documents before ODF 1.3: would we just emit these attributes in the "loext:" namespace, otherwise the same as what you have described, until ODF 1.3?  I appreciate that having so many attributes in the extension namespace is not particularly nice.

Regarding the issues with using <style:graphic-properties> that you mention, do you think we have a similar situation with <style:drawing-page-properties> already?  I am thinking of the attributes it can have which are intended only for presentation documents, such as smil:type for page transition effects.  I see some constraint suggested by the last sentence of section 16.39:

> Within presentation documents, the draw page style may contain presentation
> formatting properties.

(This seems a bit loose - it does not define precisely what "presentation formatting properties" means, nor does it explicitly specify the inverse: that non-presentation documents should not contain these properties)

Yes putting attributes into loext namespace works for validators. Although the algorithm in http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#ForeignElementsAndAttributes does not explicitly mention attributes. (add this to my ToDo-List for ODF TC) So technical version B would be possible too.

Nevertheless it would generate a conflict for drawing and presentation documents having the same attributes in <style:page-layout-properties> and <style:drawing-page-properties> in case "style-graphic-fill-properties-attlist" would be add to <style:page-layout-properties> in the schema. Therefore I have suggested to allow <style:drawing-page-properties> for text documents and spreadsheets. That gives a unique place for page background formatting. Therefore I suggest to use <style:drawing-page-properties> also in Version B.

>

I think not, because <style:drawing-page-properties> only includes "style-graphic-fill-properties-attlist", so no conflict with margin/border/padding settings.

  I am thinking of the attributes it

And it does not explicitly specify, that these element cannot be used for text documents and spreadsheet documents. When the wording is improved, that can be added in the same run. You are right, that the description in section 16.39 needs improvement, perhaps something like "attributes in presentation and smil namespace are only applicable to presentation documents".



I see, that I have named the diffs different from my analysis :(

So to be clear, the difference is whether to include characters for gradient and hatch background fill, and whether to use a new element wrapping the attributes or use the attributes directly.

And I notice that using attributes directly in paragraph-properties and text-properties gives a problem, because the <style:style> element of family paragraph contains both paragraph-properties and text-properties. 

So perhaps better wrap the attributes as in version C/D ?
Comment 22 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2017-09-08 14:49:32 UTC
there is already bug 94768 about the draw:fill attributes,
where i've fixed it to use the "loext" namespace,
but probably these are additional cases which i didn't notice back then.
Comment 23 Regina Henschel 2017-10-15 16:10:58 UTC
I have written https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3937. It contains the proposal to allow <style:drawing-page-properties> for all kind of documents. If the TC agrees, the page fill properties can be written to a <style:style> element of family drawing-page, which is then referenced in the master style be a draw:style-name attribute. Because such would not violate the schema, an immediate implementation without loext namespace would be possible.
Comment 24 Armin Le Grand 2017-10-18 07:34:33 UTC
Hi Regina, thanks!
Comment 25 Regina Henschel 2017-10-24 09:37:10 UTC
The ODF TC has agreed to the proposal, so it is now possible to use <style:drawing-page-properties> to store the information for background filling in Writer and Calc too in a way, that conforms to the schema.

it looks like only Writer supports the draw:fill properties on page styles,
while Calc only writes the old color/bitmap markup.

i'm afraid we'll have to continue to export the draw:fill on the style:page-layout-properties for now (at least in extended) because there's no import yet for drawing-page-properties/draw-page style.

Comment 32 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2020-05-20 11:13:38 UTC
the part that is possible to fix in ODF 1.3 via OFFICE-3937 is fixed on master now.

what remains is the general case of draw:fill on things that aren't master-pages; that can't be fixed until we get new features in ODF 1.4.

Comment 34 Regina Henschel 2020-05-27 15:21:29 UTC
I think, that the attribute drawing:background-size should be written in addition to the <style:drawing-page-properties> element. So when reading this element is implemented, the documents would have already the correct settings. That attribute is optional but has no default. So it would be good, if the documents contain the correct setting.

In Writer fill with gradient, color, pattern and hatch fills the entire page, so that would be drawing:background-size="full". Fill with bitmap still fills only inside border, so that would be drawing:background-size="border".



And I think, in case of saving to "ODF 1.3 strict", the attribute draw:fill and connected attributes should not be written to the <draw:page-layout-properties> at all. Users who need the additional features which are possible with attribute draw:fill and the connected attributes, can save to "ODF 1.3 extended". With such restriction in save to "ODF 1.3 strict" LibreOffice would still not render conform to the spec text (= draw:fill in a style disables <style:background-image> and <fo:background-color>), but at least the produced documents would contain valid XML.

I was wrong in this regard. The draw:fill attributes are used, and neither <style:background-image> nor <fo:background-color>. That works in LO 6.4.5 with ODF 1.3 format too.


But saving to "ODF 1.2 strict" writes the draw:fill attributes into <style:page-layout-properties> too. That should not happen for the "strict" file formats. Only in "ODF 1.2 extended" and "ODF 1.2 compatible" the faulty attributes should be written. Not using loext for "ODF 1.2 extended" is already a concession to older LibreOffice versions, so "ODF 1.2 strict" should be correct.

Comment 40 Regina Henschel 2020-05-30 12:37:05 UTC
Shouldn't LO70 produce valid ODF 1.3? The invalid draw:fill attributes are still in style:page-layout-properties in ODF 1.3 extended. I thought it would be enough to keep the invalid attributes in ODF1.2 extended.
What does the other CCs think?

ODF 1.3 strict, ODF 1.2 strict are OK.
ODF 1.2 extended is as agreed.

draw:background-size is OK.

the problem with this is that the import commit is only in LO 6.4.5 or later, so a lot of users can't import the drawing-page style yet.

i would wait some time, perhaps until the ODF 1.4 implementation, to remove the export of the invalid attributes in ODF 1.x Extended.
Comment 42 Regina Henschel 2020-06-02 13:01:53 UTC
For older versions the document can be saved in "ODF 1.2 extended". I think, that users of LO 6.3 or older 6.4 versions cannot expect, that those versions can read "ODF 1.3 extended", a new feature of LO 7.0, although that will work in many cases. And we are already after "End of Lifetime" date for LO 6.3. and when LO 7.0 will be released, the version 6.4.5 is already available.
Comment 43 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2020-06-02 14:11:59 UTC
that is all true but we can't compel users to actually upgrade to the latest version.
Comment 44 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2020-06-02 15:28:11 UTC
I agree with Michael - I believe erring on the side of pragmatism when it comes to interop is the right approach.
Comment 45 Michael Meeks 2020-06-09 16:16:47 UTC
Agreed with Thorsten (for what it is worth) - though it is not beautiful of course.
Comment 46 Miklos Vajna 2020-06-15 07:40:40 UTC
We have this trade-off that we either conform to the spec fast or we care about existing documents, where users typically expect full backwards-compatibility. I believe we can't meet both requirements at the same time. My understanding is that we already write valid ODF in the non-extended case, and we can phase out the invalid ODF output over time in the extended case as well. So the status quo looks like a reasonable compromise to me.

Next time perhaps we can detect & fix such problems earlier. I think this was introduced in commit 7d9bb549d498d6beed2c4050c402d09643febdfa (Related: #i124638# Second step of DrawingLayer FillAttributes..., 2014-06-02), and now, 6 years later, we can't just fix such things instantly.
Comment 47 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2020-08-18 12:05:41 UTC
there is still an open problem here in ODF 1.2 non-extended, with draw:fill on header/footer, as found by Svante yesterday.

Is there anything in this bug report that is still outstanding or should the bug be closed now?

It is not solved. draw:fill attribute is still written in style:header-footer-properties in ODF 1.3 extended.

Comment 52 Regina Henschel 2021-12-10 18:22:41 UTC
Next step besides using loext namespace: Write a proposal for ODF TC, to allow attribute draw:fill in header and footer.
Comment 53 Regina Henschel 2022-03-29 23:59:40 UTC
The current master writes draw:fill not only to <style:drawing-page-properties> where it belongs but in addition to <style:page-layout-properties>. For ODF 1.3 strict the latter is suppressed. But in ODF 1.3 extended it should neither be there. That problem could be solved immediately. It is independent from header or footer fill.

So this is accepted for ODF1.4. Is that bug now "fixed"?
Comment 56 Regina Henschel 2023-09-24 17:19:37 UTC
No it is not fixed. When saving in ODF 1.3 extended (our current default) the attribute has to be written with "loext" prefix.
