More of what WordCraft doesn't change is written back as it was read:
tables; the document properties it doesn't model (template, statistics,
editing time, printing); the declarations opening the text and the
document's scripts; page layouts and master pages while the page setup
is unchanged, each section starting with the master page it started
with; named sections around unedited paragraphs. Package files and
folders kept markup names (a style's fill picture, a header's embedded
object) are written with it, with their manifest entries.
Files are saved as ODF 1.3; markup kept from an older file is brought to
1.3's meaning (a gradient's or hatch's unitless angle was tenths of a
degree). WordCraft's own drawings state style:flow-with-text, which the
standard leaves open.
odt::tests_more::lossless saves seven samples of our own without edits
and fails on anything lost (nothing is allowed), and checks that edits
keep the saved parts well-formed.
Over the 133-file corpus the round-trip difference falls from 191k to
51k pixels; 95 files come back pixel-identical (62 before).

A paragraph nothing changed since it was read (by a fingerprint of how it
was modelled) is written with its own markup, unknown elements and
attributes included, together with the automatic styles, common styles,
font faces, namespaces and package files it names. While no style or list
definition changed, styles.xml's office:styles is the file's own (unused
list styles, note and line numbering configuration, attributes WordCraft
doesn't read); drawing definitions and the default graphic style stay
WordCraft's, as drawings are written from the model.
Paragraphs holding drawings, comments, tracked changes or ranged marks,
or starting a page, are written from the model, as is everything edited.
Kept markup lives in memory only (wordcraft_doc::kept, 64 MB at most) and
is never part of the document's content.
Over the 133-file corpus the round-trip difference in LibreOffice falls
from 528k to 191k pixels; 62 files come back pixel-identical (46 before).

Found by saving WordCraft's own documents as ODT and opening them in
LibreOffice (42 documents: templates, themes, one per feature).
- Table styles: ODF has no table styles of Word's kind, so each cell now
states what the style gives it (fills, its borders, bold header text,
its paragraph spacing), under the paragraph's own styles as layout
applies them (ECMA-376 §17.7.2; StyleSheet::table_para_patch and
table_char_patch). The style's border mapping moved to
styles::part_borders, shared with layout.
- Tables read from ODT no longer get Word's Table Grid style, whose
single spacing changed their text.
- Columned sections say whether their columns end balanced
(text:dont-balance-text-columns, §20.428, read as its name says; its
value descriptions contradict it). Unstated, the ODF profile decides
(balanceSectionColumns: LibreOffice balances, WordCraft as Word).
SectionProps::balance_columns carries it to layout.
- SmartArt diagrams are saved as a draw:g of their shapes and text (with
an invisible frame keeping the graphic's box), which LibreOffice draws
as WordCraft does.
LibreOffice round-trip corpus: 40k differing pixels over 125 documents
(was 76k), 42 identical; WordCraft-origin documents 277k -> 145k.

ODF 1.3 §20.206–20.209 define page margins by referring to XSL's
(§7.10), without saying whether XSL's initial value 0 comes with the
reference; LibreOffice uses 2 cm. The margin a page layout leaves out
is now the profile's `pageMargin`: WordCraft 0 (XSL's), LibreOffice
2 cm, or custom (File › Options › Advanced › OpenDocument files,
`file.options` `odf.pageMargin`). A stated margin is the file's under
every preset. With the LibreOffice preset, LibreOffice's CV, sans-serif
business letter and one-page résumé templates match LibreOffice again.

What ODF 1.3 defines, including XSL's initial values for fo: properties,
is followed whatever the settings: unstated page margins are now 0, and
padding without a border takes room in every ODT document. What the
standard leaves to the application (Part 3 §16.2) is an OdfProfile:
WordCraft's own choices by default, LibreOffice's, or custom values.
The profile fills in only what a file leaves unsaid; stated values win
under every preset (tests_more/profile.rs).
Cases: header height, how its height and spacing combine, dynamic
spacing, tabs from the indent, column gap, shape fill, line and
hairline, page frames against a paragraph, in-line frames against a
paragraph or page, and lines of only pictures.

Form controls:
- Placement: a control hanging from the baseline (as LibreOffice places
those it makes) was saved with no placement. LibreOffice then puts it
at the line's top, so every control row shrank. Its raise is now kept
(`ContentControl::form_raise`, read as in-line frames are) and
written, standing on the baseline when it had none.
- Multi-line fields: these were saved without LibreOffice's `MultiLine`
property, so they showed one centred line. They now carry it.
- Text fields get LibreOffice's flat border.
- Also: `pt()` no longer writes "-0pt".
Custom shapes:
- A shape drawn from its own geometry was saved as WordCraft's path of
it, and a preset WordCraft draws as a rectangle (a cloud) was saved as
a rectangle. The geometry as read (type, path, equations, handles) is
now kept (`ShapeExtra::odf_geometry`) and written back, mirrored as
the shape now is.
- `shape.change` and the ink-to-shape conversion drop the kept geometry,
since the shape is then another kind. `ShapeExtra` holds it as an
`Arc<String>` to keep `Placed::Shape` small.
- The reader's `end` hands skipped elements to `end_skipped`.
Results:
- The forms document round-trips pixel-identical (2,949 pixels before),
with its text the same.
- The shape presets fall from 2,467 to 1,220. The rest is LibreOffice's
hairline outline, which WordCraft keeps as 0.5 pt.
- Across the corpus the round-trip difference falls from 45k to 41k
pixels. 42 of 125 documents round-trip pixel-identical, 92 with their
text the same, and none gets worse.

Charts: on save, WordCraft wrote each chart anew from its chart model
(type, data, title, legend, labels), losing the look it doesn't model:
fonts and sizes, axis and grid lines.
- The chart object as read is now kept with the chart (`Chart::source`
in the flow model, `Graphic::source` in the document).
- `chart::redraw` keeps it when the chart is drawn again on open or
resize.
- The ODT writer writes it back whole while it still reads as the same
chart. An edited chart is written from the model, as before; DOCX
still writes charts from their model.
- The chart documents now round-trip pixel-identical (chartcol: 5,917
pixels to 0).
LibreOffice's serif business letter (4,223 pixels to 116):
- A text frame outlined by a drawn stroke (`draw:stroke`, a 0 width a
hairline) and no `fo:border` lost its outline. It is now the frame's
line; an explicit "none" border still wins.
- A header or footer whose style states no height, or that has no style,
was 0 tall. LibreOffice makes it 0.5 cm (measured by varying the
height), so the text had moved up 1.5 pt.
Across the corpus the round-trip difference falls from 60k to 47k
pixels, and 41 of 125 documents round-trip pixel-identical. No document
gets worse.

Found with LibreOffice's agenda templates. Saving wrote a table's first
row as `table:table-header-rows`, which LibreOffice repeats at the top
of each page, so a table crossing a page showed its first row twice
("<bring>" twice). The cause: the flow model marks a first row as a
header when the table style's look has a header row, which Word's look
has by default. That only affects the style's formatting, and HTML and
Markdown still rely on it for heading cells.
- The flow table now carries how many rows repeat
(`TableExtra::header_rows`, Word's Repeat as header row).
- The ODT writer writes only those rows as header rows.
- That extra block is now always kept for ODT flows, where it had been
dropped from tables without an alignment, width or row height.
All 16 agenda templates now round-trip with their text the same; the
modern and simple ones fall from about 5,200 differing pixels to 145.
Across the corpus, documents with the same text after a round trip rise
from 75 to 91 of 125, and the round-trip difference falls from 82k to

Found with LibreOffice's report templates and one-page résumé.
Padding without a border:
- LibreOffice gives a paragraph's padding room on every side, with or
without a border; measured, 0.5 in of padding and no border moves the
text 0.5 in in and down. WordCraft dropped it.
- The reader now keeps it (an invisible border holding the space; a new
`Borders::takes_room()`), and the writer writes it back.
- The layout adds it to the spacing or indent under the document
setting, now renamed `Settings::odf_layout` to cover all of
LibreOffice's layout rules. `ResolvedPara::padding` carries it, so
Word documents are unchanged.
Columns:
- Unequal columns (`style:column` relative widths and indents, on pages
and sections) were made equal. They now keep their widths and are
written back as shares. The writer leaves out `fo:column-gap` beside
them, because LibreOffice ignores a page's column widths when a gap is
stated (checked).
- Columns with no stated gap have none, where they had Word's 0.5 in.
- A paragraph starting a column (`fo:break-before="column"`) now starts
with Word's column break, written back on the paragraph.
The report templates round-trip to 0-11 differing pixels (from up to
9,600), and the résumé to 24 (from 6,286) with its text the same.
Across the corpus the round-trip difference falls from 155k to 82k

Found with LibreOffice's elegant agenda:
- Paragraph size: a paragraph holding only pictures lost its own font
size, since the flow model's picture runs carry no formatting, so its
line grew. Such a paragraph (`Para::textless`) now keeps its formatting
as the paragraph mark's, which its pictures' runs take too. Read and
written as for empty paragraphs.
- Raise: an in-line frame's raise was dropped when a parent style gave
it a relation no in-line frame has (the Graphics style's
`style:vertical-rel="paragraph"`). It is now measured from the baseline,
as LibreOffice reads it.
The agenda's round-trip difference falls from 6,542 to 1,331 pixels, and
two business fax templates' from about 5,300 to 270 and 350. Across the
corpus it falls from 185k to 155k. No document changes page count.
WordCraft's own rendering of a picture-only line is still taller than
LibreOffice's, a layout difference left for later.

A frame that doesn't state its anchor or position now takes them from
its graphic style chain (ODF lets `style:graphic-properties` carry
`text:anchor-type`, `svg:x` and `svg:y`).
LibreOffice's business card template relies on this:
- its Labels style holds the card in line;
- its Graphics style puts the credit at the top of the page.
WordCraft had floated the card, so a save scrambled the layout and added
a page.
Across the 125-document corpus, no document now changes page count
through a save (3 did), and the round-trip pixel difference falls from

A `draw:frame` holding a `draw:text-box` (ODF 1.3 §10.4.3) opens as a
WordCraft text box: a text box shape of the frame's size, in line or
floating as the frame is anchored and placed, whose story holds the
box's paragraphs (read as a note's are, with the paragraph and frame
around them put aside meanwhile, so a picture inside the box is a frame
of its own). The text was dropped on open.
Export writes each text box as a frame with a thin border and white fill
(`draw:fill` as well as `fo:background-color`: LibreOffice fills a frame
without `draw:fill` with its default blue). The module documentation now
lists what the reader and writer handle.

Contextual spacing (`style:contextual-spacing`, ODF 1.3 §20.255: no
space between paragraphs of one style) is read from paragraph, custom
and kind styles and written back, and the List Paragraph style is
written like any other, so bulleted items keep their spacing; they were
written in Standard and spread apart.
LibreOffice switches many layout behaviours by `settings.xml`, and a file
without them is laid out its own way. A file's own `settings.xml` is now
kept through a save; a document from elsewhere gets the switches
LibreOffice uses for Word files, as WordCraft lays text out as Word
does. Tab stops are written from the margin either way. A Word-made
document saved as ODT drew 38,652 px apart from LibreOffice's own ODT of
it; now 3,302, with the same line breaks.

A common text style other than LibreOffice's link, note-mark and
list-label styles (Emphasis, a user's own) opens as a document character
style with its display name, the custom character style it is based on
and its own formatting; the text in it names it, and only what the
spans' automatic styles add is direct formatting. Before, the style was
lost and its formatting copied onto the text. An id a paragraph style
already has gets "Char" added.
Export writes each custom character style the text uses, and those it is
based on, as common text styles; a span's automatic style is based on
its style and holds only the run's direct formatting. LibreOffice keeps
the style when it saves the file. Automatic styles of styles.xml are
never taken for custom styles.

A common paragraph style other than Standard, the paragraph kinds' and
the note texts' (LibreOffice's Text body, a user's own style) opens as a
document style with its display name, the style it is based on (a
custom parent, a kind's style or Normal) and its own formatting:
spacing, indents, line spacing, alignment, keep with next, borders,
background, tab stops and text formatting. Its paragraphs stay in it;
only what the automatic styles over it add is direct formatting. Before,
the style was lost and its formatting copied onto every paragraph.
Headers, footers, notes and comments are covered too.
Export writes each custom style the paragraphs use, and the custom
styles they are based on, as common styles named by an XML-safe form of
the style id and shown by the style's name; LibreOffice keeps them when
it saves the file. A custom style may not take a name the writer uses
for its own styles (Standard, Footnote, Endnote, the kinds'), so no
style is written twice.

Each equation is written as an embedded formula object (ODF 1.3

sub-document `Object N/` (declared in the manifest as a formula) whose
content.xml is the equation's MathML, with its linear text as an
annotation. The reader already opens LibreOffice's formula objects, so
equations round-trip. They were written as their linear text.
LibreOffice scales a formula to its frame, so the frame is sized from
the equation's structure (a box per node: fractions, scripts, radicals,
n-ary operators, delimiters, matrices) and centred on the line.

A frame anchored to a paragraph, character or page (`text:anchor-type`,

sides, left, right or the larger side; top and bottom; behind or in
front of text), `style:horizontal-pos`/`-rel` and `style:vertical-pos`/
`-rel` its alignment or, with `svg:x`/`svg:y`, its offset and what it is
relative to, and `fo:margin-*` its distance from the text. Every

1-6 number their paragraphs through it, as Word's numbered headings do:
LibreOffice's "1. / 1.1." headings keep their numbers (they were lost).
Levels without a number stay unnumbered.
Export writes a `text:outline-style` from the numbering of the heading
styles; levels without one show no number.

Cell borders (`fo:border*`: width, style, colour; ODF 1.3 §20.183) and
padding (`fo:padding*`) are read from table-cell styles. LibreOffice
gives an edge two cells share to one of them only (the left cell's
right side `none`, the right cell's left side drawing it); on open the
line goes to both cells, as WordCraft's cells each draw their own sides.
A table whose cells all say "no line" opens without a grid.
Export writes each cell's padding (its own, its table's or Word's
default) and its borders with each shared edge once, as LibreOffice
does (left and bottom, the first row's top, the last column's right), so
lines no longer double; cells used a fixed 4 pt padding and a grid even
in tables without lines.

give WordCraft's matching styles their font, size, bold, italic,

heading is bold Liberation Sans, no longer WordCraft's blue heading.
`fo:font-size` percentages are read as a share of the inherited size.
On save, those styles are written from the document's own definitions
in full, instead of fixed ones, so a WordCraft heading looks the same in

alignment (left, centre, right, decimal) and leader (dot, hyphen,
underline, middle dot), and are written back on the paragraph's style;
the default tab interval (`style:tab-stop-distance`) round-trips.
LibreOffice measures tabs from the paragraph's indent when its
`TabsRelativeToIndent` setting is on (its default); opening follows the
setting, and saved files carry a settings.xml that turns it off, so
positions run from the margin as in Word and WordCraft.
The flow model carries the tabs in `Para::extra` only for flows that
ask (FlowOpts::paras).

letter spacing, scale, text raised or lowered at full size (a position,
not superscript), outline, shadow, emboss, engrave and language.
A monospaced font keeps its own name; it was read as "code" and written

`office:annotation` (ODF 1.3 §14.1) opens as a document comment with its

`office:annotation-end` (§14.2) give its range, across paragraphs too.
LibreOffice's resolved state (`loext:resolved`) and reply threads
(`loext:parent-name`) are kept: a reply is a comment of its parent with
no range of its own. An end with no comment is dropped, and a comment
whose end never comes covers nothing. LibreOffice's all-zero date is no
date. Before, comments were dropped on open.
Export writes each comment named, with its end where its range ends,
and its replies after it naming it; LibreOffice keeps the threads when
it saves the file again. Truncated XML no longer loses the paragraph a

`text:note` (ODF 1.3 §6.3) opens as a note story built as Word's: its
paragraphs in Footnote Text or Endnote Text, the first starting with the
note's own mark, the reference in the text in the reference style, and a
`text:label` custom mark kept. The paragraph a note sits in (with its
spans, list and table cell) is put aside while the note's content is
read, and goes on after it. Notes inside notes, in deleted text or in
frames are left out. Before, notes were dropped on open.
Export writes each note with a citation numbered as LibreOffice shows
it (footnotes 1, 2, 3; endnotes i, ii, iii) or its custom mark, its
paragraphs in Footnote or Endnote styles defined in styles.xml. An
insertion open around a note ends before it and goes on after it.

Export writes each section's headers and footers into its master page
(style:header, -left for even pages, -first for a different first page;
an empty element where Word shows nothing), with their automatic styles
in styles.xml under names of their own. Word's page-edge header and
footer distances become ODF's page margin plus header/footer band
height, and import converts back, so headers sit where LibreOffice
draws them.
Text fields (ODF 1.3 §7: page number and count, date, time, document
information, bookmark references) open as WordCraft fields with their
shown text as the result, and are written back as ODF fields. Fixed
dates and fields without a Word equivalent stay text; Word fields ODF
lacks are written as their result. The flow model carries fields only
when asked (FlowOpts), so the other formats are unchanged.

Read `fo:margin-*`, `fo:text-indent`, `fo:line-height` (percent, length,
normal), `style:line-height-at-least` and `style:line-spacing` (leading,
as a proportional approximation) from automatic and common paragraph
styles (ODF 1.3 §20.204-209, §20.225, §20.317-318), and write them back
from each paragraph's direct formatting.
The default paragraph style and Standard give the document defaults, on
ODF's initial values: an ODT paragraph without spacing has none, not
Word's 8 pt after and 1.15 lines. Export writes the document's Normal
spacing as the default paragraph style, so the copy reopens the same.

A pStyle id the style sheet doesn't define gave an empty style chain, so the
paragraph got the document defaults alone. Word formats it as Normal: a Pandoc
footer naming an undefined Footer style was taller than Word's and pushed the
last paragraph of the page over.

A hyperlinked TOC wrote each entry's page number as plain text inside the
link. Word writes it as a PAGEREF _Toc… \h field, so Update Field in Word
moves the number with its heading; with plain text the numbers stay what
they were when the file was saved.
Entries that link to a bookmark now end with that field (result: the page
number). Entries without a link and \n levels are unchanged. The DOCX span
test looks for the TOC's own end, the last one, since PAGEREF fields now end
inside it.

* Keytips: Alt, F shows the Backstage pages' letters; Alt, F, P and Alt, F, V print (#4960)
Keytips ended as soon as File opened the Backstage, so Alt, F, P and
Word's older Alt, F, V (Print Preview) did nothing. Alt, F now badges the
side menu with Word's letters (Home H, New N, Open O, Info I, Save S,
Save As A, Print P, Export E, Close C, Options T), and V opens the Print
page too, as it does in Word. A page picked this way acts as a click on
it does.

* Keytips: closing the Backstage ends its page letters (#4960)
The Backstage closed by its back chevron or a mouse Save while Alt, F's
badges showed left keytips waiting for a page letter. The next key was
eaten instead of typed, and picked a page with the Backstage gone: C
closed the document and S saved it. Keytips now end with the Backstage.

* #4734: the print job's PDF leaves out link annotations
craft-print refuses to fit a page with annotations to the paper ("flatten page annotations
before using shrink-to-fit"), and the desktop app always prints with ShrinkToFit, so any
document with a hyperlink or a TOC (its entries are links) failed to print. Links print
nothing; `PdfOptions::links` (default on) lets the print job leave them out. Exported PDFs
keep them.

Session::print_job_pdf is what ui.printSubmit sends to the spooler, without

count_words split only on whitespace, so unspaced Chinese or Japanese
text counted as one word per run. Word counts each Han ideograph and
kana as a word; Hangul (spaced) still counts by tokens. Fixes the status
bar, the Word Count dialog and NUMWORDS, which all use count_words.

Chart and diagram text was shaped in one face, the document's body font,
so Chinese legends and axis labels showed boxes while body text was fine.
Characters the face lacks now go to a fallback face, one face per run
when one covers it all, as in body text; a bold fallback face without a
bold style is emboldened.

* #4848: corporate authors in bibliographies
A Word source whose author is an organisation (Create Source › Corporate Author)
stores it as `b:Corporate`, which the reader ignored: the source opened with no
author, citations fell back to the title and bibliography entries started with
the year. A bare name typed into Author was split into "Organization, W. H.".
- Source gains `corporate`, read from and written as `b:Corporate` (in place of a
name list: a role holds one or the other, ECMA-376 CT_NameOrCorporateType).
- Citations and bibliography entries write it as it is in every style; it gives
the source's tag and its place in an author-sorted list, and untagged sources
are matched by it.
- APA puts its full stop after a group author ("World Health Organization.
(2021).") instead of relying on the initials for it.
- Create Source has a Corporate Author box under Author; Edit Source opens with
it checked when the source has one.

Row, column and cell settings applied to the caret's row, column and cell only, so
selecting the whole table and unticking "Allow row to break across pages" changed
one row and the others still split across pages.
- table.properties applies row height and rule, allow break and header row to every
selected row, the column width to every selected column, and the cell width and
vertical alignment to every selected cell (the caret's with nothing selected), in
one undo step.
- The dialog shows "Allow row to break" and "Repeat as header row" as mixed when the
selected rows differ; left alone they change nothing, clicked they set every row.
- The row-height rule box is named by "Specify height" for screen readers.

The RTF reader only recognised \pngblip and \jpegblip, so a \pict
holding \wmetafile8 (how Word writes pasted and floating pictures) or
\emfblip was dropped and the document opened without its pictures.
Keep them as wmf/emf media when the bytes are a metafile (the extension
comes from the bytes; raster bytes go through the usual image path,
anything else is dropped), sized from \picwgoal/\pichgoal and the scale,
else from \picw/\pich (0.01 mm, or pixels under \wmetafile1; zero or
negative falls back to the default). The metafile renderer already
draws them and the DOCX writer saves them as .wmf/.emf.
RTF export dropped WMF/EMF pictures as well (it re-encoded every other
format through the raster decoder): it now writes \emfblip with the raw
bytes and \wmetafile8 without the placeable header, \picw/\pich in
0.01 mm.
