At least I'm hoping so! :-) To be honest, I thought about the document
structure first, then I implemented the editor to directly support this
structure. I know that it should hide some stuff and be more user friendly.
I thought I should get something done first, then actually work with it to
see what additions would be useful.

Alright. Could someone point me to information on how to post a news item?
Do I even have the access rights to do this?
That being said, I have just now thought about a rather fundamental change
to the document structure: I would like to separate "colors" from "styles",
so that a color could have multiple appearances in different styles and
most importantly gradients. So with a change to a single color, one could
adjust multiple styles. It would also save space again in the flat storage
format.
Best regards,
