(I am using OpenOffice::OODoc::Text 2.243, as it appears 9/8/10 11:09:34 EST on CPAN.)
It seems that OpenOffice::OODoc::Text::removeTextStyleChanges completely empties any text:p or text:h that contains no spans.
On reading the code, I concluded that it
* moves descendants of $context out into $new_elt, erasing span boundaries as it goes
* counts the spans
* finally if there was at least one span, replaces $context in $self with $new_elt
* otherwise finally $new_elt is deleted.
If there are no spans, the descendants of $content are moved out into $new_elt anyway, but then deleted,
My work-around is to test for a span first – but my processing requirement is to remove span boundaries throughout the doc, which I attempted by grabbing all the text:p's and text:h's and removeSpanning them, resulting in lots of undesired deltion.
Is this a bug, or a feature?
