![]() ![]() The same can be done for vertical spacing but nit is a bit more tricky because it requires to list all used styles to compute sensible values.ĭon’t code font size changes in character styles. To minimize the number of fixes when you decide for a new base font size, make sure that where you change font size (if you don’t touch at all the parameter, it inherits from the ancestor but whenever you click on a size, be it the same as the ancestor, you freeze the parameter to this value) the new size is defined in % units so that it is recomputed whenever it changes in the ancestor.Į.g., if size in Default Paragraph Style is 12pt and Heading is 14pt, respecify Heading size as 116% or round it to 120% which is more user-friendly (not for the end reader but for the editor). These may be configured for font face and size in Tools> Options, LibreOffice Writer> Basic Fonts (Western) and this is where you create the “break” in inheritance unless you don’t use the feature and configure the styles in their definition using the following rule. ![]() Caption, ancestor of targeted caption styles.List, ancestor of List n and Numbering n styles and derived ones, usually used in lists.Index, ancestor of all TOC, bibliography and index styles.Heading, ancestor of all heading and titling styles.However, some built-in styles creates “breaks” in the inheritance: Remember that all styles are organized hierarchically, with Default Paragraph Style being the common ancestors to all. This requires managing very rigorously your styles. you never used direct-formatting all over your document and exclusively worked with styles, the text parts can be changed very easily for larger font size. If I understand correctly the problem, it all boils down to changing the global appearance of the document in a few steps. A good explanation in the documentation might help others get good results too. If I knew what the EPUB flow layout wanted, I might be able to lay out my document slightly differently. I cannot file a bug because I do not know it is broken: it may look a bit odd but the EPUB layout might be doing the right thing for a perfectly good reason. ![]() However, sometimes a table is split in silly ways with the header on one page and the rest on the next or a particular image comes out smaller than others that were the same size. When something is broken it is usually obvious ( e.g. It has diagrams and equations but I do not was text. But anything extra we can do to preserve the look, such as flowing text, is a bonus. We cannot move objects past the text, as the text may refer to ‘the diagram above’ or something like that. Text items such as tables and equations might scale as text, while images might scale as the page width. I would expect these to resize to fit in the new page size. Other objects such equations, images, diagrams, or tables are harder but they usually fit into rectangles. This is reflowable layout, and it works well for pure text documents such as novels. I understand the idea in principle: if we have a small display and/or poor eyesight, then we need the same text but less on each page. ![]()
