My styles sheet

“File | Export as EPUB | Export as EPUB” is badly broken. Several common and simple LibreOffice things are not being rendered in the EPUB output.

    1. The values of field names are not being filled in.  I noticed that all DOCINFORMATIO field were missing. See the fields on page 1 of the attached style sheet and compare with the epub output.
    2. Bullet Lists and Numbered lists don’t show the bullets and numbers and are not indented. See the lists on page 9 of the attached style sheet and compare with the epub output.
    3. Simple tables are not being rendered correctly.  See the table on page 9 of the attached style sheet and compare with the epub output.
    4. List of Figure, Index of Tables, and Table of Contents are not being rendered at all.  See the TOC  on page 1 and the  List of Figure, Index of Tables on page 15 of the attached style sheet and compare with the epub output.

Thank you for reporting the bug. I'm not sure, if you've checked for duplicates. For example problems with tables were reported in bug 132646, problems with lists in 131513. So please make sure, that your problems haven't been reported before. And since there is a basic rule "one problem / one bug report" in Bugzilla, please open a single bug report for each problem that remains. Thanks.

It is at least not a macOS specific issue, so removing that to increase visibility

Let's keep this bug just for field names that are not being filled in when exporting to EPUB. (For the rest of the bugs there are another bugs opened)

I confirm this on
Version: 7.1.5.2 / LibreOffice Community

I've tested following methods of epub-export
1. Export as EPUB -> Layout method: Reflowable => Reproducible
2. Export as EPUB -> Layout method: Fixed => not reproducible
3. Export directly as EPUB => Reproducible

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 1e9f4de320f67d1218c710bcee1969a2324c6888
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

As far as I understand description of layout methods, display of conditional text shouldn't be depend on layout methods
