------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 29 22:06:40 +0000 2008 ------- Currently, in a master document you can promote/demote the outline level of individual subdocuments (as long as you unprotect their sections first), but these changes are lost when the master is closed/reopened and its subdocument links are updated. Master documents should be allowed to assign subdocuments persistent outline levels that override the outline levels assigned within each subdocument. So a single subdocument could appear at an outline level 1 in one master and at level 3 in another master. Lower outline levels in the subdoc would, of course, be also converted relative to its highest level. Why is this a great enhancement? Because it would enable OO to be a leading open-source tool in the growing trend of single-sourced, reusable, topic-based content. Single-sourcing means that content writers create modular topics (each in a separate file) that can be repurposed (as live links) in other docs. And of course, in these situations, the top outline level in each topic must be separately adjustable to a possibly different outline level in each master doc where it appears. Some wikis do this and it's incredibly useful for content writers. One workaround is to not include any headings with outline levels in the subdocs, but this leaves much to be desired. It's so much cleaner to have all the outline levels in the subdoc be converted relative to its position in each master where it appears. For consistency, the same functionality should also apply to linked sections embedded via "Insert > Section". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
