Character Styles
Please fill in this table, so we can get a perfect set of attributes for a character style made to go into 1.3 format DTD. Please put your signature at the bottom of the page for further reference and credits (use characters - - ~ ~ ~ ~ without spaces between them or the second button from the right in the button bar of wiki editor window). --Malex 18:20, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Notes
* Generally grouped by the term "text decoration" though that's unimportant for the file format.
** Font Face is the combination of font family, weight, and slant. After discussion on IRC it was decided to store the font face in the doc format. We might store the (family, weight, slant) info but only as hints to help the font substitution dialog find good close matches.
*** Doesn't that mean that we should also define other types of hyphens as shown in the Unicode standard? This one is icky. It might be better to enumerate those either in a sub-dtd or elsewhere in the scribus code. Let's discuss this --Malex 07:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'd also rather use the Unicode SHY for that! --Avox 23:00, 14 February 2006 (CET)
