In this article, you can add descriptions of features you would like to see in [[AODL|AODL]]. This can serve as a source of inspiration for developers and contributers. Hopefully, these might be implemented during the [[Summer of Code 2007#ODF_Toolkit|Summer of Code 2007]] work on this project.

==Styles==

'''Font by String'''

Allow indicating and using fonts by string, such as "Broadway BT", rather than FontFamilies.BroadwayBT;

Otherwise, when I would try to use a typeface not included in the standard installations, such as "Gentium" or "DejaVu Sans", these would never be available under the hardcoded system.

'''Table Cell Widths'''
Allow define of cell widths for individual cells or columns.

==Graphics==
'''Captions'''
Is there a way to add a caption to a Frame that has a graphic in it? I can simply add text below a figure, but I would like the captions to be sequences so that I could then build a table of contents. Below is a snippet of xml from an ODT content.xml file that shows what I need (written from OpenOffice). A little bit from the end is a text: sequence element. How do I add this using AODL? The graphics are no problem it's just the sequence that I'm lost on.

'''SVG'''
Work with SVG Import to allow runtime SVG insertion.

==AutoText==
My document assembly strategy relies heavily upon use of AutoText entries. Please implement Autotext features.

==Master Documents==
Easy insertion of smaller documents into Master documents without XmlDoc.ImportNode

'''AODL (An Open Document Library)'''

AODL is the .net module of the [[ODF_Toolkit|ODF Toolkit]]. The library is completly written in pure C# and can be used
to extend your .net based software to support the OpenDocument Format. To use AODL within your projects respectively
software there is no need of a deep knowlegde of the OpenDocument Format itself. It would be helpfull to understand
what's going behind the scenes and for writing your own extensions, but as mentioned before this isn't a fundamental requirement.
 
Up to now, the following fundamental operations are supported by AODL: 

<ul>
<li>Creating new documents in the text and the spreadsheet format.</li>
<li>Loading and manipulating documents in the text and spreadsheet (not complete yet) format.</li>
<li>Export loaded or created documents into the HTML format (text and spreadsheet documents).</li>
<li>Export loaded or created documents into the PDF Format. (this is in an early state of implementation and only available for text documents)</li>
</ul>
