left (Left Paragraph Border)

This element specifies the border which shall be displayed on the left side of the page around the specified paragraph. This shall not change based on the paragraph direction.

To determine if any two adjoining paragraphs should have a left border which spans the full line height or not, the left border shall be drawn between the top border or between border at the top (whichever would be rendered for the current paragraph), and the bottom border or between border at the bottom (whichever would be rendered for the current paragraph).

If this element is omitted on a given paragraph, its value is determined by the setting previously set at any level of the style hierarchy (i.e. that previous setting remains unchanged). If this setting is never specified in the style hierarchy, then no left border shall be applied.

[Example: Consider the following two paragraphs' WordprocessingML definition:

<w:p>  
  <w:pPr>  
    <w:pBdr>  
      <w:top w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="1" w:color="F2DCDB" w:themeColor="accent2" w:themeTint="33" />   
      <w:left w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="4" w:color="B97034" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF" />   
      <w:bottom w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="1" w:color="F2DCDB" w:themeColor="accent2" w:themeTint="33" />   
      <w:right w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="4" w:color="C3D69B" w:themeColor="accent3" w:themeTint="99" />   
      <w:between w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="1" w:color="4F81BD" w:themeColor="accent1" />   
    </w:pBdr>  
  </w:pPr>  
  <w:r>  
    <w:t>First paragraph.</w:t>   
  </w:r>  
</w:p>  
<w:p>  
  <w:pPr>  
    <w:pBdr>  
      <w:top w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="1" w:color="F2DCDB" w:themeColor="accent2" w:themeTint="33" />   
      <w:left w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="4" w:color="B97034" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF" />   
      <w:bottom w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="1" w:color="F2DCDB" w:themeColor="accent2" w:themeTint="33" />   
      <w:right w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="4" w:color="C3D69B" w:themeColor="accent3" w:themeTint="99" />   
      <w:between w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="1" w:color="4F81BD" w:themeColor="accent1" />   
    </w:pBdr>  
  </w:pPr>  
  <w:r>  
    <w:t>Second paragraph.</w:t>   
  </w:r>  
</w:p>  

Since the paragraph border set is identical between the two paragraphs, the paragraphs are connected by a between border. These paragraphs therefore draw the left border between the top and between borders for the first paragraph, and the between and bottom borders for the second paragraph. end example]

Parent Elements
pBdr (§17.3.1.24)

This element’s content model is defined by the common border properties definition in §17.3.4.

[ISO/IEC 29500-1 1st Edition]

left (Left Border)

This element specifies the presentation and display of the page border displayed at the left of each page in this section.

[Example: Consider a section in which all pages have a left border consisting of a repeated image of an umbrella, like this:

2ff3649b-77e6-4c45-a4b8-5ba6cfac375c

This border would result in the following WordprocessingML:

<w:sectPr>  
  …  <w:pgBorders>  
    <w:left w:val="seattle" …/>  
  </w:pgBorders>  
  …</w:sectPr>  

Because the page only has a border at the left, only the left element is specified within the set of page borders. end example]

When a document has a left border that is relative to the page edges (using the offsetFrom attribute value of page on pgBorders), it shall span the left edge of the page at the location defined by its properties, stopping when:

• It intersects with the corresponding top or bottom page border (if one is specified).

• It reaches the edge of the page.

[Example: In the example above, no top or bottom border was specified in the WordprocessingML, so a consumer must draw the border from one edge of the page to the other. end example]

When a document has a left border that is relative to the text (using the offsetFrom attribute value of text on pgBorders), it shall span only the necessary width to satisfy the requirement of spanning the width of the text.

When a document has custom border art specified by the id attribute, it shall use the corresponding relationship part item as an image for the left border. If the corresponding relationship part item cannot be located, the consumer shall use the border specified by the value of the val attribute. If the corresponding value of the val attribute cannot be resolved, no left border is present when the page is displayed.

Parent Elements
pgBorders (§17.6.10)

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this element’s content model (CT_PageBorder) is located in §A.1. end note]

[ISO/IEC 29500-1 1st Edition]

left (Left Border for HTML div)

This element specifies the border which shall be displayed at the left of the boundaries of the current HTML div object.

If this element is omitted, then this HTML div object shall not have a left border.

[Example: Consider a simple HTML document defined as follows:

<html>  
  <body>  
    <div style=" border-left-style:solid; border-right-style:groove; border-right-width:1px; border-top-style:dashed; border-top-width:3px; border-bottom-style:outset; border-bottom-width:3px">  
      <p>paragraph of text</p>  
    </div>  
  </body>  
</html>  

This HTML would therefore normally appear as follows (image scaled appropriately):

9facf4b6-63e8-4596-83f6-8ca794c3cc66

Now, when this document is saved in the WordprocessingML format, the information stored on the div elements is stored in the web setting part as follows:

<w:divs>  
  <w:div w:id="1785730240">  
     …    <w:divBdr>  
      <w:top w:val="dashed" w:sz="18" w:space="7" w:color="auto" />  
      <w:left w:val="single" w:sz="24" w:space="4" w:color="auto" />  
      <w:bottom w:val="outset" w:sz="18" w:color="auto" />  
      <w:right w:val="threeDEngrave" w:sz="6" w:color="auto" />  
    </w:divBdr>  
  </w:div>  
</w:divs>  

The left element specifies border information about the left border for the single HTML div structure in the document; in this case, a 3 point bottom border of type single. The initial 4 pixel border was converted to 3 points using the following logic:

end example]
