Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45382
Equivalent to float and clear CSS properties
Last modified: 2014-04-07 14:57:11 UTC
OOo has some pretty powerful but tricky wrapping features. On XHTML pages the approach is a bit different, we use CSS styles. And to make a graphics to float in a text, on its left for example, we can just apply a float left property to the graphics... And then it floats. To avoid the next objects (paragraphs, headings...) from floating to its right, we can use the clear property that avoid the objets from floating. It kind of cancel the floating effects. Discussion these features in the « How can I force OOo to break before a Heading ? » topic at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=5063, it seems no one was able to find the OOo equivalent to the float and clear CSS properties. The first paragraph wrap options allows us to clear the wrapping, the floating, for the next paragraph... But we can't clear the wrapping for a heading for example. There are some breaks features to change the text flow, for example we can break the heading to a new page. As a result it seems impossible in OOo to make multiple paragraphs to float beside a graphics or any other objects. There's the first paragraph limitation. So the idea would be to provide OOo users with an equivalent to the clear CSS property. I will attach some screenshots of what I get and what I would like to get.
