Description espinosa_cz 2024-05-01 16:16:54 UTC
Description:
Current web view serves as de-facto pageless view mode. It's nearly there but couple of things could be improved. 

Suggested improvements:
- Add an aptly named new view mode: Pageless
  Or alternatively add it as a new page style to page styles.
- Enable setting pageless format as default mode/style in Writer for all new documents
- Make the page infinite in vertical dimensions only, but with horizontal restrictions like in printer view.
- Current web view wraps text at the screen edge, text width is defined by canvas size, and by extend current windows size. That is not ideal. 
- Limit vertical text width. Make that limit settable using vertical ruler. 
- Center text inside the writing canvas.
- Fix Bug 160890 

Please, get the inspiration from Googdle Docs.

Actual Results:
Current web view is pretty close to be the pageless view mode. It's nearly there but couple of things could be improved.

Expected Results:
To have a proper pageless view mode, similar to what recently Google Docs introduced.


Reproducible: Always
