Description michaelis 2003-09-17 10:20:11 UTC
ABSTRACT:
I have two proposals to enhance OOo1.1 or later:
1) Enhanced help on the condition syntax of hidden paragraphs,
   conditional text, etc.
2) Enhanced syntax of the condition of hidden paragraphs etc. in
   order to work with databases that contain punctuation and other
   unusual characters in their field names.

EXPLICATORY TEXT:
What to do, when a paragraph should only be shown when a specific field whitin a
database contains some data? The help says: Insert/Field/Other, select the
function tap, then "hidden paragraph", and enter "NOT name" as condition, where
"name" is the name of the db-field. Here we are!

Now, what to do, if the "name" contains some space, as in "first name". Then you
have to enter "NOT [first name]" with brackets. It's a pity that the help of OOo
doesn't mention the brackets.

Second problem: What must I do when the "name" contains a point, as in
"benutzerdef. 1" in the german sdbc:address:mozilla-driver of OOo1.1rc4? I would
propose something like "NOT ['benutzerdef. 1']" or 'NOT ["benutzerdef. 1"]'. But
both guesses didn't work. And the work around with an SQL-query is a little bit
too challenging for a normal user.

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