Styles referencing each other

Desktop editors
1

Hi! How to make a circle reference between styles? I want to archive the following thing:

  • There is a custom made red text style named RED, which must be followed by default by a style BLUE below
  • There is also another one style which represents a blue text and titled as BLUE, which consequentially must be followed by RED style

When I create the first style, there is no style to refer to as BLUE is not here yet. But if I chose another style for the following paragraph after RED temporarily (let’s say it will be a Normal style), how to change it then to BLUE after it created?

Where it can be useful (from my perspective): the document is a list of teacher tasks for a pupil and each task is written in a RED style while notes for it in BLUE one. When I finish my notes, I expect to begin writing a new task, so here I will need the editor to switch back to RED style.

Hey @EmilyGraceSeville7cf, :wave:

Unfortunately, circular style references (RED → BLUE and BLUE → RED) are not possible right now in ONLYOFFICE.

If this is a feature request, we’d love to consider it!
Could you let us know:

  1. Which editors already allow this kind of cyclic style switching?
  2. A bit more about the real-world use case — it’ll help us better understand the importance.

Thanks a lot for the idea! Will pass it to the team as soon as I have your reply. :hugs:
