In the 1.1 standard, and in a test document I generated using open office, I can find XML such as:

<style:style style:name="Heading_20_1" style:display-name="Heading 1" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard" ....>

<style:text-properties fo:font-size="18pt" fo:font-weight="bold" .../> </style:style>

I.e. I can determine that any paragraph with a style name of Heading_20_1 is to the human, Heading 1 style.

In our guidelines, this information is missing.

Does anyone know if this is because our document is corrupted in some way, or because I'm using Open office.

Reason.

I'm trying to determine if an ODT document instance has a rational hierarchy, i.e. heading 2 follows heading 1 etc.

In our guidelines I can't find such information.

Any suggestions please, or is this one for the main list?

regards
