Analysis

Overview

User should be able to manipulate paragraph format options from the halo menu, that appears automatically when the focus is set to a text paragraph. Also this settings should be accessible from detached text frame editor menu. There should be a paragraph settings hud that is evoked from text halo menu. It should provide control over all paragraph settings as well as adding, editing, loading, saving and deleting text paragraph styles sets. Also the user should be able to edit characters appearance in the entire paragraph.

Sophie users should be able to specify horizontal alignment of specific paragraph in the text directly into the paragraph HUD. Available values should be:

  • Left
  • Right
  • Center
  • Justified
    • Optional: If the alignment is justified the user should be able to pick alignment for the last line.
      Available values should again be:
      • Left
      • Right
      • Centered
      • Justified
  • Optional: Vertical alingment should also be available for the text in the frame.
    Options should be:
    • Top
    • Centered
    • Bottom
    • Justified

A paragraph is a self-contained unit of a discourse in writing dealing with a particular point or idea. The start of a paragraph is indicated by beginning on a new line. Sometimes the first line is indented; sometimes it is indented without beginning a new line. At various times the beginning of a paragraph has been indicated by the pilcrow: ¶. User should be able to specify spacing setting for specific paragraph via paragraph settings hud. Identation defines where does the text begin in the frame.Following settings should be present:

  • Right indent - defines the space after the text, for now in points.
  • Left indent - defines the space before the text, for now in points.
  • First line indent - defines the space before the first line in the text, for now in points.
  • Space above - defines the space above the paragraph, for now in points.
  • Space below - defines the space below the paragraph, for now in points.
  • Line spacing - defines spacing between the lines in the paragraph, in lines.

Users should be able to choose indentation of the paragraph text. Options should be:

  • First line
    • Users can choose positive or negative values of the indentation of the first line
    • Values of the first line indent should be oriented according to the left indent of the paragraph.
  • Left indent (before text)
    • Users should be able to set the indentation of the paragraph from the beginning (the left end) of the writable area in the frame to the beginning of the paragraph text itself.
  • Right indent (after text)
    • Users should be able to set the indentation of the paragraph from the end (the right side) of the paragraph text to the end of the writable area in the frame.

Users should also be able to choose values of the spacing:

  • Above paragraph
  • Below paragraph
  • Line spacing. Options should be:
    • Single line (this should be the default value)
    • 1.5 lines
    • Double line
    • Fixed - value in cm, inches or pixels that can be set manually (optional)

Implementation idea

How to demo

  • Create a new book and add a text frame in it
  • Populate some lorem ipsum text inside with a number of paragraphs (lorem ipsum generator --> ​http://www.lipsum.com/)
  • See if you can adjust the settings of separated paragraphs
