Description sdc.blanco 2019-12-19 14:55:33 UTC
1.  No offline or online documentation for "Standard" and "Reset" buttons in Paragraph Style dialog.

2. LibreOffice Writer 6.0 mentions "Standard" (p. 192), but not "Reset" (and describes "Standard" to be used to "reset" properties.

3.  Clicking on the Help button in the Paragraph Style dialog box comes gives an offline help page about "Indents and Spacing" in paragraphs.  (LO 6.3.3.2)  (i.e., marginally relevant).

Here is the relevant uri:  cui/ui/paraindentspacing/ParaIndentSpacing

and corresponding online url:

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/shared/01/05030100.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=cui/ui/paraindentspacing/ParaIndentSpacing#bm_id3145138

4.  Clicking on the Help button in LO 6.4.0.0.beta1 (without offline help) gives online help to the Organizer page, but no explanation of "Standard" or "Reset" buttons.

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/01/05040100.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=sfx/ui/managestylepage/ManageStylePage#bm_id3145356

The "Standard" and "Reset" buttons appear for all the tabs in the Paragraph Style dialog box.  It would be useful for the documentation to note whether they apply only for the current tab, or would be applied across settings in all the tabs.

Offline and online contents differs only for extra multimedia files. Contents is the same if multimedia (video, examples files) is not involved.

The following Help page is there to supply contents in <embed> tags used in numerous pages, and is not a target page for end-user:

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/shared/00/00000001.html

Note that the same button can have different behavior depending on the dialog. A case by case is necessary before embeding the right text in the dialog page.

Resolves: tdf#129497  help about reset for all help pages in paragraph style tabs
Comment 7 sdc.blanco 2020-01-23 02:58:32 UTC
This bug was opened because of lack of information about Reset and Standard in the Paragraph Style help pages.  The patches have added information about "Reset" to all the tabs in the Paragraph Style dialog (and also the tabs for the Paragraph dialog, because they are shared with the Paragraph Style). 

Bug #128469 shows that the meaning of Standard is being considered (and whether the name should be changed), so it was decided not to add any information about Standard until that question was resolved.

Bug #118834 also raises a question "reset" and "standard" in help for Style dialogs, but also includes "Apply" and "Cancel".  In effect, this bug #129497 is a subset of bug #118834.
