Description Aditya Dewan 2017-08-08 19:41:26 UTC
The current implementation is pretty basic, and it would be good to have the Following features:
- First-line indent
- paragraph indent
- tab spaces
just like other office writers and LibreOffice writer

Implementation of these would involve the following tasks:
- extending the LOK_CALLBACK_RULER_UPDATE to accommodate the positions(coordinates) of the above said.
- implementing markers to display these positions along with its drag-able operation to change these values.
- extending the '.uno:RulerChangeState' command to accommodate these changed values.
-changing SvxRuler::SetValues function, to change actual values of svxruler/ruler.

Sounds reasonable
Comment 2 Pranav Kant 2018-01-30 12:31:02 UTC
This looks like a very good candidate for easyHack. You have already elaborated the problem nicely and given appropriate code pointers.

Happy to help if there are any further questions. This involves work in both core.git and online.git

Yes, you can work on it. Would need to find another mentor, though, if questions arise. Well, easier to get advise with a patch in gerrit anyhow.

Thank you. I started to work.

By the way, i built libreoffice with Firebird enabled, created a simple database with all the data types and tested migration. I could not go further, because i am more interested in Online part. Thank you again.

Some related work has been done for the iOS app recently by Tomaž Vajngerl (bug 128468). Not sure of the status.

The LOK part:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a60b18a8c5d5c11c87dbbaaf884de138dfeb6c8f
And a couple of online commits with "ruler" in the subject.

Sample with various indent settings

Gökay, thank you for implementing this!

I'm looking at the current master / master build, and have noticed a couple of oddities. I don't know if they come from the recent commits, or have a different cause, so I'm just noting them down here for now.

1.) When opening a file, the indent markers aren't initialized, and remain at the left edge until switching paragraphs.

2.) The markers are slightly off to the left (~0.1 cm or so).
Interestingly the after text indent marker is right on the right margin marker (and both are actually slightly off), while the left margin marker seems to be in the correct position, only the indent markers are off there.

3.) Resizing the browser window doesn't adjust the markers.

4.) Attaching a sample with a couple of paragraphs with different settings. Almost all of them are shown correctly on the ruler, except one, the 6th: the markers should be at 0 cm and 2 cm, while they are at -2 cm and 0 cm.

The list of indent settings in the sample (as they are in the Format Paragraph dialog, not as they appear on the ruler):
1.: 0 cm / 0 cm / 0 cm
2.: 0 cm / 0 cm / 1 cm
3.: 1 cm / 0 cm / 0 cm
4.: 0 cm / 1 cm / 0 cm
5.: -1 cm / 1 cm / 2 cm
6.: 2 cm / 0 cm / -2 cm

I've made some fixes in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/online/+/94095
Comment 14 Tomaz Vajngerl 2020-05-13 07:26:43 UTC
I actually wonder if the fat grey line that denotes left and right margin (ruler 0) is positioned correctly (which doesn't really make it a problem of the indent markers however). For the left margin the start should be on the right side of that grey line but it looks like it is on the left side. On the right margin it should be on the left side of the line.

Thank you for your comment and the patch:) I will take the patch and work on the bugs listed by Mr. Budea.

I have just pushed the patch so you can just get the latest code.
Comment 17 Gökay ŞATIR 2020-05-14 09:39:44 UTC
Hello,

Thank you for your comments. I tested it, as far as i can see is:

* In Online UI: Format=>Paragraph UI is probably showing wrong values. It is adding margin values to actual indentation values.

* When i copy paste the text, Online editor does not recognize the indentations of the 6. paragraph, when i copy the file into the Online data folder and open it, the 6. paragraph is shown as it is. But this time Format=>Paragraph window is more faulty.

 The tool window at the right side shows the right values all the time.

I think there are two things:

Online=>Format=Paragraph codes seem to be faulty.
Copy Paste may be buggy for at least the last paragraph of the text.

Tomaz what should i do next, may you show the way?

I will deal with the bug occurring when the window is resized.

Best Regards.

There are bugs but they are not related to this task. This task is done i think.

Thank you.
