Description kschmir 2003-09-13 16:39:28 UTC 
Whereas for most page styles it seems most reasonable to have them followed by
the default style, left and right pages styles should be linked with one another
as soon as there are headers or footers intended for even or odd pages only. I
propose 
 - to allow for headers and footers to be defined for every or alternating pages
already on the Format|Pages pane, and 
 - to link left and right pages automatically when the alternating
headers/footers are selected.

I think now the page style confusion can be cleared to a great extent
by defining and naming some of them differently:

All non-default styles should be followed by default, i.e. should be
valid for one page only. The present left and right pages should be
renamed "Force left page" and "Force right page" (or something along
these lines).

In a style named "Alternating pages" left pages should be followed by
right pages and vice versa. For the purposes of a book, it should
start with an odd-numbered right page; I don't quite know what to do
if something else is required -- actually, I would expect the user to
build their custom styles, if necessary.

The Insert|Manual break menu is superfluous and another source of
confusion, if not, its function should at least be hidden from the
user (it doesn't give any options that aren't also in the Stylist, and
for the naive user ctrl-enter IS a manual page break) (but this
concerns issue 16877).

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
