OOXML extension for Japanese Layout Requirements

[Shawn Villaron]

Thank you Murata-san.

One thing that would help me understand this feature would be to see a sample document.  I'm hoping that if I can see a sample document, the relationship between this feature and existing margins support will become more evident ( I know they're different, I'm just not sure how ).  

I'd also like to learn more about how it's used in Japan; perhaps an in-person demo/example in Stockholm could be done?

Thanks for sharing.

Dear colleagues,

To show the size of changes rquired for supporting kihonhanmen-based page specifications, I created a RNC schema for the new elements and attributes, and also created an NVDL script for combing this schema and the original 29500 schemas.  I would argue that the required changes are surprisingly small (1 elemenet and a few attributes) and make Japanese users much happier.


1) kihonhanmen.rnc 

This schema includes "shared-commonSimpleTypes.rnc", which appears in the RNC version of the 29500 schemas.

default namespace = "http://www.example.com/asianLayout"
namespace w = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"
include "shared-commonSimpleTypes.rnc"

start = element kihonHanmen {
attribute w:eastAsia { s_ST_String },
attribute LengthOfLine { xsd:int },
attribute NumberOfLinesPerPage { xsd:int }, attribute LineGap { xsd:int }, attribute horizontalPositioning  { "centering" | xsd:int }, attribute verticalPositioning { "centering" | xsd:int } }

2) kihonhanmen.nvdl

This NVDL script references nested.nvdl, which appears in the latest zip in my mail http://mailman.vse.cz/pipermail/sc34wg4/2010-February/001201.html
