Pressing the help button in the Advanced Filter dialog sends me to: https://help.libreoffice.org/index.php?title=5.1/Calc/Advanced_Filter&Language=en-US&System=UNIX&Version=5.1#bm_id3151113 This is not specific enough. A better target would be: https://help.libreoffice.org/5.1/Calc/Filter:_Applying_Advanced_Filters This caused me to resort to ask how to on the newsgroup: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg49600.html which could have been avoided if the more specific target had been used. -regards, Larry
Ok, doc team can consider it.
This bug still persists in LO 7.2. The issue here seems to be that there are 2 help pages for the same thing. The first one focuses on the dialog itself (and is incomplete). This is the one referenced by the Help button. https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/scalc/01/12040300.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=CALC&HID=modules/scalc/ui/advancedfilterdialog/dialog-action_area1#bm_id3154366 The second page is more complete and gives a good example. https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/guide/specialfilter.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3148798 But there's no way to go straight to this second page. What I propose is to embed the specialfilter.xhp into the 12040300.xhp file, since this is the one targeted by the HID. Also, the dialog page also needs to be updated, because the "Options" section is not documented.
The proposed patch is available for review: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/118191
