Well, it almost was there already. It just was untested, so I had to
tweak it a bit. See the attached patch. I was exporting the 'bgcolor'
property, not the 'background-color' property. Wasn't sure what the
difference was until this discussion.
I don't know why this would be in my source and in noone else's, but my
copy of abiword doesn't compile, dying on xad_Document, because on line
45, UT_UCS_strcpy_to_char is missing an argument. So I added the
argument. It's also included in the patch. Feel free to drop that
section of the patch if I'm missing something.
Take care,
John
P.S. Yes, I am working on getting the styles dialog done. Just have
... too ... many ... responsibilities. *sigh*
P.P.S. I'm not even going to go into my preferences on British v.
American spellings. ;-)
