Context-dependent paragraph styles in advanced lists and tables

Page Overview

[Hide]

1 Requirements

Besides the paragraph style "Standard" and other there exist two extra paragraph styles: "List" and "Table Content". The purpose is to get a better and more clearly arranged layout of advanced lists and tables.

When inserting a new text paragraph in the edit mode of a page the default paragraph style is of course set to "Standard".

But when creating an advanced list or table it is hard to explain to the users why they have to manually change the paragraph style for each list item and each table cell from "Standard" to "List" or "Table Content", respectively, to get an optimal layout.

My simple solution:

When inserting a new text paragraph the paragraph style should be automatically set to "Standard", "List" or "Table Content" depending on the context where the paragraph is inserted.

A further proposal: Rename "List" (German: "Liste") to "List Item" (German: "Listeneintrag") and "Table Content" (German: "Tabelleninhalt") to "Table Cell" (German: "Tabellenzelle").

An alternative solution (for discussion):

Get rid of the extra paragraph styles "List" and "Table Content" and control the layout of the list items and table cells via the layout of the superordinated element (the advanced list or table).
