Description Chris Y. 2021-06-09 04:44:59 UTC 
Description:
When I have a caption on a figure/table, and it has a number, the number retains its gray background from LibreOffice when you view HTML in a browser.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a numbered caption to an image.
2. Save as HTML.
3. View the HTML in a web browser.

Actual Results:
The number has a gray rectangle behind it.

Expected Results:
The number should not have gray behind it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

However: Deactivating option "View -> [ ] Field Shadings" eliminates the problem and produces a html file not showing a shaded number. In fact I'm not sure, whether the observed behavior is intended or this is really a bug.

Saving as HTML, to me, should be like exporting to PDF (without page borders) in that indicators like that should be hidden. The purpose of the gray box is to show that it's dynamic, right? But there's no such dynamic quality when it's in HTML form, it's just a span tag with a background. No metadata.

Take my comment as a workaround.
Comment 5 Chris Y. 2021-06-09 14:56:52 UTC 
Yes, that workaround does work, thank you for that.

Oh, it's a bug. Field shading is only to help you notice the field. You don't get when printing nor when exporting to PDF. Confirming. 

Also seeing this with

It does depend on the field shadings option in [1]. Imho, this behaviour is intended and it was added in [2].

I would close this as NOTABUG within the next 30 days if there is no contrary opinion about it.
