sample doc

LibreOffice doesnt support the creation of table styles (bug 34391), but that doesnt mean that it should be able to load odf table styles and preserve it as table direct formatting, because the table style doesnt make it through when saving the file (aka Roundtripping).

Open the attached doc in Calligra and compare it with LO.

So the work done in GSoC 2016 didnt fix this issue.

Comment 5 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2017-05-05 12:44:04 UTC
So ODT table styles are settable in /styles.xml either using <table:table-template> or with <style:style style:family="table">. LibreOffice now support <table:table-template> but doesnt with <style:style>.

@Regina: On import, can/should a <style:style> style be converted into a <table:table-template> style so it can utilized in the future table style editor dialog?

Comment 10 Regina Henschel 2021-12-08 23:30:10 UTC
A common table style is still not supported but only an automatic table style. Tested with Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community

Comment 11 Regina Henschel 2021-12-08 23:48:58 UTC
The next step would be, to define how an UI for the table style should look like and to determine, how such common table style can interact with table templates.
Table templates references already common table styles, but do not provide a UI for it.
