--- Comment #12 from Matthew B <mbilliode...@gmail.com> 2012-05-12 14:42:02 PDT --- Noticed this request/forum after already posting this: http://ask.libreoffice.org/question/2596/text-folding-pretty-please Please add folding text functionality to the next release of Writer or give advice on how to make add-on. Additional Comments: For brain storming, outlining, studying, code writing, drafting documents, or helping the reader brief documents quickly, Folding text/collapsible outlining is a must! It makes the tasks listed not only possible but a breeze. The programs which already offer this feature are EXTREMELY poor word processors. They DO NOT compare to MS Word or Libre Writer. Writer needs this capability as it will give them a huge advantage over OpenOffice and MicrSoft. Additional Suggestions for Functionality. Yes, the General FoldingText/Outlining available capability in MS Office and omin outliner is good, but if Libre Office is developing this, while add it these features should be considered: - Yes, the paragraph summary displaying "only the first sentence", but also... - Additional Summary/Folding Options: the option to customize what is displayed in place of the full text (ie, customize the summary item that is displayed in place of the full text). Txt summary item may be either: i. PreDefined text (ex, "+", "note", "...", "Summary", a bullet) ii. Auto Enumerated text- (ex "exhibit", "exhibit2", "par1", "par2") iii. Auto text Summary of: only the First Paragraph. only the First Sentence. only the First line. until page full, but not more than 2 lines, & at least 1 line. iv. Any Custom Text/Field. examples "(click to see examples)" "Class Notes [Date]." v. Any picture or other item. ***In all instances***: 1. ability to format summary item (be it text or pic) like any other text or pic in the doc. 2. ability to not allow or to allow the editing of the summary item. 3. method indicating inlinetext is summarized (ex, highlight on mouse over) NOTE: The following feature MIGHT not be able to be added with a single script project, but probably need to be separate scripts, but still should be packaged as one add-on with previous features. - Inline Summary of ANY string of words/symbols/or inline pictures (not limited to a whole paragraph). DESCRIPTION: Highlight any inline item (words, pictures, etc), click a "summarize" button, user is given option to condense (hide) highlighted text and display only the summary item (which could be any text specified by user, a bullet like "+", a picture, or text box). The summary item is formatable and inline with the text around it, editable just like any item in the doc. But, being a summary item, right clicking it will give the additional option to show hidden text, and vice versa. And right clicking on hideable text will give the additional option to display only the summary (the summarized item). - In-Line Text Preview for embeded or linked documents. DESCRIPTION: The embeded/linked document would be represented by a summary item. The summary item can be any user defined item (ex "{...}", a long or brief description, a bullet, or image). But Writer should also give an additional option in the case of embedding or linking a document: the option to make any portion of the embeded/linked document the summary item, NOT allow any change to that summary item (except formatting), BUT updating the summary item when the linked document/embedded document changes. Finally, right clicking the summary item will give the additional option to open the document. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
