Description Thomas Lendo 2020-09-16 11:41:49 UTC
It would be nice if it's possible to add more than 1 paragraph style to a chapter numbering level.

Use case:
Chapter numbering levels are linked to Heading 1-5 paragraph styles. These headings include an automatic page break (e.g. Heading 2 in sidebar > right click at Modify item in context menu > Text Flow in style dialog > Breaks). Sometimes when a sub-chapter is very short, this page break is not wanted and several items of the same heading level should be on one page. Now it's not possible to add Heading 2 with page break to chapter numbering level 2 and another Heading 2 without page break to the same chapter numbering level.

In the past it was done by direct formatting (the affected headings were modified by hand in the paragraph dialog). But since LibreOffice 6.4.6.2 it's sometimes that these manual changes are lost at file opening. But it would generally a nice enhancement.

But I don't know if this is possible with ODF.

I don't support this. I understand the usecase, but AFAIK Layout should be consistent. If the rule is "Heading of level x starts on a new page" this should be the case with every heading of that level.

BTW: Are you sure, that page break with headings 1-5 is not a customized style?

And likely not possible. Or am I wrong, Regina?

You can have several paragraph styles with the same outline level. You cannot use the default chapter numbering list for this, but need to maintain your own chapter numbering.  How to do this, is a question for the mailing list.

Let's resolve the ticket then.

The feature request is valid. But I think we should not start a new discussion. Set duplicate to bug 62032.
