Hi! The "Text Functions" help page (link below) is composed of multiple functions. Some of them have full descriptions in the help page [1] (some of them are short and some are long), whereas other functions have their own pages. [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/04060110.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3145389 This causes some imbalance in the "Text Functions" help page and in my opinion it looks a bit messy. What I would like to propose is to create separate help pages for each function and keep the "Text Functions" help page with the names of functions followed by a short description, as it is currently done in some pages (e.g. the Tools page [2]) [2] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.3/en-US/text/swriter/main0106.html?&DbPAR=WRITER This way, future update to the help files of each function will be more organized IMO.
Help maintainability is a good thing. I advise to proceed in a slow pace because this change will force retranslation of the concerned functions help contents. The weblate tool used by LibreOffice community has translation memory to help the retranslation, however it the process is often dull. I suggest to deliver one or 2 help file a month.
Okay... I'll do it at a slow pace.
Created attachment 174741 [details] I've made a separate documentation for ARABIC function under TEXT. I am contributing for the first time to LibreOffice. I have made a separate documentation for the ARABIC function to be used under Text category . I have added the syntax and examples as well.

A polite ping to Rafael Lima: Is this bug fixed? if so, could you please close it as RESOLVED FIXED ? Otherwise, Could you please explain what's missing? Thanks
Can we close this as RESOLVED FIXED?
(In reply to Martin Srebotnjak from comment #8) > Can we close this as RESOLVED FIXED? Actually to fix this bug there's still some work to do. Some functions still have to be moved to their own files. Right now I'm working on other issues, so I'll move this ticket back to NEW. Later I might return to it, but not ATM.
