As i recently tried out the eLAIX extension for bug 106781 and it had a button labelled 'Set Chapter Numbering' which enabled numbering of all 10 heading levels in Tools > Outline Numbering and Sophie mentioned in bug 104151 comment 21 that she translates it to chapter numbering in French and i see that the phrase chapter numbering is widely used and thought of for this feature, i think it would be good to change it.

In German too ("Kapitelnummerierung").
NO! The linkage between the Outline "Heading" paragraph Styles as annotation for Outline Numbering continues to make more sense. Calling them "Chapters" or labeling it as "Chapter Numbering" obscures the fact that each "Outline" level paragraph Heading style can describe a unique numbering/notation scheme and layout description (indenting and line spacing). It is by nature hierarchical allowing a user to follow the structural layout of the document format/standard in use. The dialog provides by definition a framework for Outline not Chapter/Section numbering. =-=-= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_(list)

The intent is to only change the menu label, i think 'Chapter and Outline Numbering' is a bit to long though that is fine as well as it doesnt increase the menu width much, and changing the dialog title to 'Chapter and Outline Numbering'. (In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #4) > I know that. However, more experienced people will realize/find that. Less > experienced people will look for .. chapter numbering, I think. Yes the intent is to make it easier for less experienced to find it, similar to us changing 'Indexes and Tables' to 'Table of Contents and Index' in the insert menu, as though there are multiple table indexes that can be created with the function, most users are would be looking to find the 'table of contents' phrase.

Hi Jay, I agree with the renaming of 'Chapter and Outline Numbering' that will make it clear for both beginners and advanced users. The string should not be too long either in other languages, so l10n seems ok too. Sophie

Sophie Hi Sophie, well i assume even with this change in english, all the languages that are translating it to 'Chapter Numbering' will continue to do so. :D

Sophie > > Hi Sophie, well i assume even with this change in english, all the languages > that are translating it to 'Chapter Numbering' will continue to do so. :D I don't think so as it adds precision to the label. L10n follows as much as possible the source, unless it's not understandable/clear enough in the target languages. And in that case, most of the time, it's because the source is not and has to be changed. Sophie

Patch is in. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/37200/
-1 to “Chapter and Outline Numbering”. I already had to deal with another ridiculously verbose name some releases ago, and that was “Table of Contents, Index and Bibliography”, for which I had to use a rare word, “sumario”, which was much shorter than “índice de contenido”. Please think of how those “everything-included” names look when translated. Also, it’s funny than we are considering going back to StarOffice times w.r.t. the name of this command… I subscribe to everything said by Stuart.

I am still OK with labeling it "Chapter and Outline Numbering"; but "Chapter", as from the eLAIX extension for ePUB and ILAIS generation, is rather a specialized use. =-ref-= bug 74477 LO uses paragraph styling for the Headings assigned outline level as in 19.844 http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#__RefHeading__1419062_253892949 Not sure why we don't make use of 16.34, 16.35 to style these http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#__RefHeading__1416438_253892949

Please think > of how those “everything-included” names look when translated. When you have single UNO commands that have alot of different options in it and users are searching for a function with a particular name, there isnt much that can be done. The command used to have a stupid name of 'Indexes and Tables' which nobody looking for inserting a table of contents or a bibliography would ever think to look into. Ideally we would have 3 separate UNO commands to launch the dialog in each of the main three modes and then we can single names for each of the labels (bug 107599). > Also, it’s funny than we are considering going back to StarOffice times > w.r.t. the name of this command… So in StarOffice times it was labelled 'Chapter Numbering', interesting.
Beginners tend to use list numbering for chapters and wonder, why they do not get a TOC and do not see their headings in the Navigator. Having the term "Outline" in the "Bullets and Numbering"-dialog and having the same term in the menu Tools is confusing. And the "Outline numbering" dialog from then Tools menu, can never be used to style a list. Therefore I support to rename the menu item in Tools from "Outline Numbering" to "Chapter Numbering", so it can be easily identified as correct tool for chapter numbering.

My error: 19.844 is about attribute text:outline-level and that is used in a lot of totally different elements.

So I do not understand your > "we don't make use of 16.34" Oh right as usual. Looking at it in .fodt--I got tripped up by the "text:outline-level" (19.844.4) in the office:text and its tex:style-name and the heading style names, rather than the 16.34 & 16.35 for the text:outline-style and text:outline-level-style that kept their defaults.

I give in... go ahead and change the .uno command association and Dialog title to "Chapter Numbering"

So what about those people who are looking for a way to create outlines and all they see is something about chapters? What about naming it Chapter Outlines, if it must be changed?
