Bug ID: 144493
Summary: promote / demote chapter -- just a side note
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: j...@cspv.hu
I think "promote" & "demote" are not good terms for moving chapters...
especially since there is a promote / demote function for the headings of the
chapters...
these are two different things...
"promoting a heading" means increasing the heading level of a section / chapter
this is great and cool...
however, since "promoting a chapter" means moving it before another chapter /
section, it is misleading...
SURE:
what comes first can be taken as being superior to what comes after it...
but this is a wrong approach...
cause in a text chapters with the same headings are on the same level...
and that one comes before another one is simply irrelevant...
SURE, the chapter number decreases as it is being "promoted"
but in a normal world this shouldn't be used like this...
"SUGGESTION" (or rather: "a side note", cause I'm sure it will never make it
into the application since it is okay for 99% of the users as it is):
it could be called "move chapter UP"... and then the term would reflect more
faithfully, i.e. completely faithfully the action that it performs..
