Jakub Trzebiatowski,
Improving user experience with Table Styles final report

I want to summarize my work that has been done till now.

My project was to improve user experience with table styles.
I was building the table styles functionality on top of current table 
autoformat (class SwTableAutoFormat).

I started with implementing TableFamily UNO API (class SwXTextTableStyle). The 
UNO API exposes the SwTableAutoFormatTable table as a container. 
SwTableAutoFormat as SwXTextTableStyle element.

To be able to export table styles the CellFamily had to be implemented also.

    sw UNO Cell Style family, SwXTextCellStyle

Also extended the XTextTable, made it possible to set table style via UNO API. 
That was required for the import code.

    sw UNO API XTextTable add TableTemplateName property
    https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=commitdiff;h=fe10783e4abd5509676c777c7aa6f172ab3a8bf6

Next, when the UNO API was done I started working on the import and export 
of table styles. I was looking how the export of table styles works in the 
Impress. Table styles are exported as a <table:table-template> element. Export 
of cell styles had to be implemented also.

Then I started to work on the UI. Started with Table Styles, Styles and 
Formatting tab (F11). Undo & Redo had to be implemented too.

    GSoC Writer Table Styles; Table Styles Panel

What has to be done:
    Table style dialog.
    Table styles dropdown menu is still under work.
    Default set of table styles is not implemented yet.
    Newly inserted table should be inserted with default table style.
