DR-19-0015: "DML: Meaningless examples in Styles section"

[Francis Cave]

Caroline, Murata-san

 

I agree with Caroline’s suggestion that the example is not worth repeating. However, if the example actually included one or more code fragments showing different ways of defining the colors in a theme, this might actually be useful. Personally, I consider the coloured bars image worse than useless, because it conveys no information at all but hints that the colors might be grouped or interact in some normative way that I don’t believe is the case, so might confuse implementers.

 

Kind regards,

 

Francis

Murata-san,

 

I think it can be any of the elements.  They are different ways a color can be specified.  The first 3 options are direct ways to specify a color (2 variants of RGB, and HSL).  I assume the other 3 use references (via a name or index) to colors within sets already defined.

The accent1 element contains one of the following elements:

 

element scrgbClr { a_CT_ScRgbColor }

  | element srgbClr { a_CT_SRgbColor }

  | element hslClr { a_CT_HslColor }

  | element sysClr { a_CT_SystemColor }

  | element schemeClr { a_CT_SchemeColor }

  | element prstClr { a_CT_PresetColor }

 

I do not understand the current example.  Which of these six 

elements is intended?

 

Regards,

Makoto

I agree with Francis that there is no value to repeating the same example diagram twelve times.  My suggestion would be  to have the diagram appear only in the subclause with the first occurrence [ 20.1.4.1.1 ] .  I would also suggest changing the text for all twelve subclauses.  The reference to "the set of twelve colors" is odd.

 

Suggested change for  20.1.4.1.1 

This element defines a color that happens to be the accent 1 color. The set of twelve colors come together to
form the color scheme for a theme.

This element defines a color to be the accent 1 color, one of a set of twelve colors that
form the color scheme for a theme.

 

The other clauses would have equivalent text but no diagram.

 

   My two cents!
