Hi Matti,
I've built on your work to implement the construction of the
properties associated with the style. It needs more work but were 90% of
the way there. These now get written out to the style definitions.
I've defined new character and paragraph styleNumber variables which you
can set by implementing the style number keyword \sN. Should be straight
forward.
Then in applyPragraph and applyCharacter.. methods, lookup the char * name
of the style in the member table m_styleTable[..] and put it into the
attribute list with attribute pt_PT_NAME_ATTRIBUTE_NAME
Over to you :-)
Cheers
Martin
