------- Additional comments from troy_ro...@openoffice.org Thu Nov 25 01:49:21 +0000 2010 ------- The original specification for this feature showed trailing dots being removed. Checking the behaviour of Microsoft Word, it seems the rule for eliminating dots is as follows: 1. If the trailing character of the entire cross reference is a dot, remove it; 2. When the trailing number of a part of a level in the cross reference is a dot, the next level is included in the cross reference, and the next level has a left parenthisis as its first character, remove the dot; 3. otherwise, leave the dot in. Notably, it does not remove leading dots. It does not matter what is in front of the portion having the dot removed. It does not move more than one trailing dot. It does not remove the "separator" dot where the next level begins with anything other than a left parenthisis. This behaviour seems to have survived long enough in Word that it seems appropriate for OpenOffice too. I cannot imagine any case where the current behaviour (displaying the dots in the circumstances in paragraphs 1 and 2 above) is what the user would want. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
