Bug ID: 151474
Summary: Allow formatting footnotes in columns or separated by
spaces
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: sean.an...@gmail.com
Description:
It’s extremely common in critical editions of historical documents &
manuscripts to have lots of short footnotes showing textual variations.
Sometimes these might be one word plus a one-letter identifier for a
manuscript. It’s a huge waste of space to format these all on separate lines
and the ratio of text space to footnote space quickly becomes unworkable in
Writer.
Actual Results:
Writer becomes impractical
Expected Results:
Writer should allow standard printing practices
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The footnote area should be a distinct object/section that can be formatted,
e.g. into columns. Footnotes should not be forced to paragraphs, but
equivalent to <div>s that could be floated with padding.
