Screenshot showing InDesign line styles
Here is a screenshot showing the line style dropdown menu from InDesign, which includes the effect I am going for (Thick - Thin - Thick) as well as several others.
Note that dashed lines are handled separately from all the other styles; when "Dashed" is chosen, the options then appear which let the user adjust the length and sequence of the dashes. (The point being that Adobe didn't find it necessary to allow the "Thick - Thin - Thick" line to *also* be a dashed line, and I don't think it's necessary either.)
Mike, if you add keyword "needsUXEval" you should add libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org (I did it for you) Although I don't think that writer should copy InDesign (because writer is a progrm for text), it's wothr to think about the option for multiple lines. See also discussion about line styles in bug 126649 We are restricted to the ODF definition. And lines are simple - as needed for an office suite. You can solve your problem with a couple of shapes, but I admit it's not convenient. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 126649 *** |
