These are missing in the index entry description (ODF 1.0 spec: 7.12.1)
whereas they are present as token in XML mapping (in
SRC680_m201:xmloff/source/core/xmltoken.cxx:1296 and :1356) because they
are available in chapter field formatting (ODF 1.0: 6.2.7).

Besides Chapter Info is currently available only in Alphabetical Index,
so in the UI it should be added where possible or the Chapter number (E#
token) could be used instead where available, by adding the outline
level to it.

Let me know it this is the way to go (e.g. using Chapter Info way and
the like) and I'll try to implement a patch to demonstrate it.

Yes. This sounds good.

One more thing about ODF: it seems that the Illustration Index and its
derived indexes lack the chapter information completely (ODF 1.0: 7.4.2).


I discussed our proposed change to the OpenDocument file format with our ODF experts of the OASIS ODF TC, namely Michael Bauer and Lars Oppermann. They support our change. Thus, we can enhance the ODF element text:index-entry-chapter. And you're right, that we have to include this index entry into all needed index types. This change of the OpenDocument file format have to be proposed to the OASIS ODF TC. I can do this, because I'm already a regulary member of this TC. When we want to include the enhancement for the next feature release of OpenOffice.org, namely OOo 2.3, we should propose this change to the OpenDocument file format for ODF version 1.2. The deadline for new proposals for this version is mid/end of February. Thus, we have to hurry. I propose, that I will write this proposal, discuss it with you and then post it to the OASIS ODF TC. We will be the authors/contributers of this proposal. In the meanwhile, I propose that you take care of writing the OpenOffice.org specification for this enhancement.

Sounds good, I'm going to work out the demonstration patch, I'll use it for OOo spec writing and discussion.

In the meantime I'll wait for the ODF enhancement you'll be writing.

One more thing, there is issue 14725 [1] that deals with what seems the same topic, even though it refers to 1.1 OOo version: it seems to me that if issue 53420 is solved with a better numbering mode, issue 14725 is solved as well.
