I cannot determine where to draw markers for the draw:enhanced-path of a

ODF has no rule for it yet.
I would default to what LibreOffice does today, just to avoid
compatibility problems. What do you think?
I think, that we should not use the current behavior of LibreOffice
because it is inconsistent. I have already reported
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144390
I have created an OASIS issue
https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-4111
That has a file attached with problematic situation.
In my opinion there should be this behavior:
[In the following I mean "sub-path" in ODF sense, not in LO internal sense.]
(1) A sub-path which is closed by a command Z and not continued, should
never have markers. Currently LO draws markers if there exists a
sub-path after the closed sub-path which has e.g. a line. I mean command
sequences like MLLZML.
(2) A sub-path which is closed and continued, should have marker start.
This situation is currently wrong implemented. I mean command sequences
like MLLZLL are wrongly drawn by LO. A command Z does not end a sub-path.
(3) A sub-path were accidentally "first point = last point" is currently
drawn without markers (if not continued), although having "first point =
last point" does not close the sub-path. The equivalence of "first point
= last point" to "closed" is only an (problematic) implementation detail
for path-objects, but an enhanced-path has a dedicated "close" command
and the path might not end with the "close" command.
(4) Different sets of sub-paths should be treated independently. I mean
sequences like MLLZNMLML.
In regard to "compatibility": MS Office behaves already different on
ODF-files than LibreOffice, whereby I think, that MS Office is neither a
role model as it has inconsistencies too. Different versions of LO would
only be affected in non-primitive shapes. I think (but I have not
examined all predefined shapes), the predefined shapes have no
problematic path definitions. Closed sub-path and separate lines are in
different sets, so that problem (1) does not occur. And situations (2)
and (3) do not exist in the predefined shapes.
Kind regards,
Regina
