Hi all,

I'm working on issue 53420 because I need it for a manual I'm writing.

Example of generated indexes are:

8 Collegamento a Internet     8-1
8.1. Modem ADLS                  8-1
8.2. Router/firewall          8-1

Of course the chapter number follows the format chosen in the relevant page format (e.g. is A if the chapter numbering chosen was alphabetical).

What do you mean by "the chapter number follows the format chosen in the relevant page format"? We think the format of the chapter number should be equal to the format, which is given in the Outline Numbering dialog (menu Tools - Outline Numbering).

that's it, the 'A-1' in the example above means that's the page 1 of the chapter which has level 1 in outline numbering and the numbering format is chosen to be literals A,B etc... by means of the menu command you mentioned.



My questions:

Should I provide some kind of specification for it?

Yes, that would be great.

good, I'll ask when the time comes what version: wiki or the odt one



Would I be able to work directly on it (e.g. CWS and the likes)?

Of course you can.


I implemented issue 12626 (http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12626#desc24) as a developer, so I know how it works and I have CVS access.

I currently build OOo on Debian GNU/Linux (of the 'etch' flavor).


For a CWS at least two platform builds are needed - Windows and Linux/UNIX. There exist OOo buildbots for several platforms.

for GNU/Linux there is no problem, it's my development system of choice. I build under Windows as well, though I have only a notebook with dual booting hence when I build with Windows I get stuck for at least 24 hours.

While I was waiting for the answer, I had a glance to the ODF 1.0 spec were it deals with index (7.12.1, IIRC), I wasn't able to figure out how to make persistent (in the ODF format) the choice of the chapter numbering (simple one without subchapters) in the index source.

So far I was able to generate the index, but I haven't yet figured out how to save the modified index source information in the ODT file, I save only the generated index (the body).

As soon as I understand something more, I'll be back.

BTW questions on XML and ODF OOo implementation should go to dev@xml.openoffice.org, right?


Yes.
But, questions, which strongly belong to a certain OOo application, can also be asked in the mailing list of this application.


Regards, Oliver.
