Propose change from: “chapter”→ “item” 

Reasons:
1. B&N bar appears for lists, but “chapter” does not make sense (and is confusing) in relation to list items.
2. “item” can be interpreted meaningful in relation to numbered headings (i.e., chapters), as well as list items.
3. B&N bar always appears with lists, but only appears with "chapters" (headings) if headings have numbers (e.g., from Tools->Chapter Numbering).  

And some queries:

a. Should B&N bar also appear with unnumbered headings (it doesn't at present), given that the .unos on that bar also work in that case?


b. Should "with" in the tooltip be capitalized to be consistent with the "outline level" buttons?  (or the outline level buttons should not capitalize "with") Even if "title" capitalization is being used here, different styles do or do not capitalize "with", so just a matter of being consistent.

+1, while this is applied to outline "chapters" the more generic "item" is more immediately comprehensible.

I looked around a bit and Help content does not seem to have any references to this UI element.

Answering my own question: in LO UI guidelines, tooltips use sentence case,
so "with" should not be capitalized [1], and for menu items (commands), LO UI Guidelines defer to KDE guidelines for Title Capitalization [2], where it states that prepositions fewer than five letters should not be capitalized.

=> need to change "With" to "with" in Demote/Promote Outline Level With Subpoints
