Bug ID: 147774
Summary: Cannot choose to drop the separator in reference text
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
In documents with numbered headings, which have separators after the number,
e.g.
A. My first heading
B. My second heading
when you want to refer to one of the headings using the "Number", the reference
reads "A." rather than "A". But one does not necessarily want to include the
separator in the reference! That's a stylistic choice.
Now, LO should support one of the following:
1. Have a checkbox for whether to include the separator before the first number
level, and another checkbox for whether to include the separator after the last
level
2. Have a checkbox for whether to include both the separator before the first
number level the separator after the last level
3 Split the 'Number' reference option into "Number with first prefix and last
suffix" and "Number without first prefix and last suffix" (perhaps using
shorter names for these options)
I like option (1.) personally.
Note that, in MS Word, IIANM, you can definitely refer to heading numbers using
just the number without the last prefix, i.e. the default is unlike in LO. And
then you can add a prefix and suffix of your own, to the field, which gives you
the essentially the same effect as the LO default.
