Though propably too late for the original requester, here is how I do this:
my $tab_stops = self->getStylesRef()->createElement('<style:tab-stops>
+'.
'<style:tab-stop style:position="0.9839in"/>'.
'<style:tab-stop style:position="1.102in"/>'.
'</style:tab-stops>');
$styleStore{$styleName} = $self->getStylesRef()->createStyle($styleNam
+e,
#category => 'named',
#namespace => ...,
#type => ...,
family => "paragraph",
#class => ...,
check => 'true',
parent => $self->getStyleElement('Dashitem1'),
#next => ...,
properties => {
'fo:margin-left' => "0.3154in",
'fo:margin-right' => "0in",
'fo:margin-top' => "0.0201in",
'fo:margin-bottom' => "0.0193in",
'fo:text-indent' => "0in",
'style:auto-text-indent' => "false",
});
my $props = $styleStore{$styleName}->selectChildElement('style:paragra
+ph-properties');
$props->appendChild($tab_stops);
Thought it might be of interest to all googlers dealing with a similar issue.
