Skyler Grey
Hi, I'm Skyler!
I'm a 19-year-old software engineer, I love writing libre code for software I use.
I've been using LibreOffice for years, so I was excited when I got a job at Collabora Productivity, which gave me an excellent path to contribute! I've worked on various features, including STYLEREF, a WebSocket-based URP Connection, and miscellaneous LibreOffice Kit changes.
In my free time, I like writing software - I'm currently interested in infrastructure and build systems, particularly with Nix; moderating online communities, and offline activities such as reading.
My pronouns are she/her.

STYLEREF, a field that references content by its style, has been in the power-user toolkit of other office suites since before I was born. LibreOffice, however, has always missed out. Documents with STYLEREF already didn't update it. Adding new STYLEREF fields was impossible.
Around a year ago, I implemented the STYLEREF field, bringing better compatibility with documents created elsewhere and, of course, the use cases it enables. In this talk, I'll go over STYLEREF fields, where you might use them, and a quick run-down of how I implemented them.
