Description L Duperval 2022-08-01 18:02:35 UTC
Hi,

I would like to specify the spacing above paragraphs as a percentage of the line height. What I want is the ability to specify the spacing above and below headings (that's where I most use it) as percentages so if I change the size of a font, it adjusts the spacing accordingly.

I would want this parameter to be herited so if I change the percentage in "Heading" then all percentages in Heading 1 Heading 2, ... are affected, unless I override it. This is similar to how inherited parameters work.

Right now, if I specify a percentage as something other than 100%, Writer retains that information, but it doesn't seem to do anything. If I put 100% as a value, it reverts to 0 (that may be a bug, I'm not sure).

Duplicate of bug 127702 (with a generic scope) with the premise to be defined in the file format.

I wonder what layout requires variable spacing. Maybe a conditional format helps you, see https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/swriter/01/05130100.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id3154656
