Dear Team:
I am planning to add a set of built-in templates in extras/source/templates. This set of templates is not a general purpose template, but rather specially optimized for Chinese users. As some of you may be aware of, Chinese (more generally, CJK) writing is different from Western in many aspects, and there should be some templates so that the users can choose from.
Currently I am planning to:
- Put the templates in extras/source/templates/l10n/zh_CN.
- It will include several templates for Writer, Calc, and Impress. For instance:
- extras/source/templates/l10n/zh_CN/cn_odt_general
- extras/source/templates/l10n/zh_CN/cn_odt_letter
- extras/source/templates/l10n/zh_CN/cn_odt_academic_paper
- extras/source/templates/l10n/zh_CN/cn_odt_government_letter
- extras/source/templates/l10n/zh_CN/cn_ods_general
- extras/source/templates/l10n/zh_CN/cn_ods_financial_reports
- ...
- I will keep the templates as clean as possible.
- While I be promoting libre fonts as possible as I could, be for some of the templates I have to use non-libre fonts such as "SimSun" in the styles definition.
- Makefiles can be adapted to only build these templates when --with-lang=zh-CN is used in autogen.input.
- If possible, adjust the code so that when the UI language is
Chinese Simplified, then use cn_odt_general as the default
template.
Is this acceptable? I know this can be published as an extension, but I do not an extension is a good idea to do so.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Kevin Suo
