Bug ID: 159137 Summary: Add "previous/next note" functionality to cross-references Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.6.4.1 release Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: will.fried...@gmail.com Description: It is very common in academic writing to need two different systems for cross-referencing footnotes from a footnote: if the cross-referenced note is adjacent to the current note, one writes "see previous/next note", and if it is non-adjacent, one writes "see n. X." As far as I can tell this is impossible to achieve in LO at the moment. One can either insert a reference to the number of the footnote, or use above/below, but there is no option as far as I can tell for customizing the language of the cross-reference or for making the form of cross-reference conditional. To be clear, the feature I am requesting would allow customizing both the wording leading up to the reference and allowing the form of the reference itself to be conditional, e.g.: If reference is adjacent: "see previous/next note" If reference is non-adjacent: "see n. X." Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Insert | Cross-reference | Cross-references | Type: Footnotes. 2. See that "refer using" does not allow selecting multiple types. Actual Results: Feature not available. Expected Results: Feature should be available.
