Description: In China, there's a national standard on formatting references (GB/T 7714-2015). It recommended that in a formal article, like a research paper, endnotes about the source of a certain reference should be labeled with numbers in square bracket as superscript, like [1], [2], [3]... And the endnote should be formatted as "[4] Author. Title: Publisher...". (Parts of the standard can be found here: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/355312827?ivk_sa=1024320u) Although it's not compulsory, as far as I know, it's relatively widely adopted. I know it could be added manually in the Insert Footnote Dialog, but it would be much easier to have "[1], [2], [3]..." available as an automatic numbering scheme. Huge thanks. Steps to Reproduce: (Enhancement) Actual Results: (Enhancement) Expected Results: Example: This[1] is a reference[2](^should be superscript). ------- [1] Author. Title: Publisher... [2] ...

Thanks, Li. Endnotes are not the right part of LibreOffice for this enhancement request. There is a bibliography tool in LibreOffice, and a request exists for adding citation styles to it: bug 121945. It is possible to customise the format of the citations by hand when inserting a bibliography, and numbers can be used instead of identifiers, but the enhancement request above would need to be resolved before specific, built-in citation styles (like the one you suggest) can be added.
(In reply to Li from comment #0) For footnote and endnote, you can change the "Before" and "After" characters of the numbering list in: Tools > Footnote and Endnote. Just type in "[" in the "Before" box and "]" in the "After" box. In order to make Writer to use the [1], [2], [3] numbering style for Chinese documents by default, we need to set templates. We now have a default Chinese template named "Simplified Chinese Normal" under the "Localization" template category (File > Template > Manage Template), you can right click that template and set it to default template for Writer. However that template currently still uses the default 1,2,3 style numbering for footnote and endnote. I can prepare a patch to let that template use [1], [2], [3] style footnote and endnote, but shall I set it to both footnote and endnote, or only for endnote?

The standard I mentioned (GB/T 7714-2015) only concerns how to list reference materials in endnotes. I think there are generally less restrictions and more down to one's preference when it comes to footnotes. As far as I know, circled digits could be the most common footnote numbering style in Simplified Chinese publications. With that said, it certainly won't hurt to have more options available. There is an industry standard (CY/T 121-2015) that mentioned [1], [2], [3] format as an option, so someone can potentially utilize it if it's also available as a footnote numbering style. Thanks!

> In order to make Writer to use the [1], [2], [3] numbering style for Chinese documents by default, we need to set templates. We now have a default Chinese template named "Simplified Chinese Normal" under the "Localization" template category (File > Template > Manage Template), you can right click that template and set it to default template for Writer. However that template currently still uses the default 1,2,3 style numbering for footnote and endnote. I can prepare a patch to let that template use [1], [2], [3] style footnote and endnote, but shall I set it to both footnote and endnote, or only for endnote? I checked, and the current default Chinese template does use [1], [2], [3] for footnote and endnote numbering, so there is no need to prepare a patch. You can access the template from: File > Templates > Manage Templates > select "Localization" from the category dropdown, then you will see a template named "Simplified Chinese Normal" (普通简体中文). To set it to your default for Writer documents, right-click that template and select "Set to Default Template". (By the way, see also the feature request in bug 86483) I will add another numbering style so that this numbering style would show up where you click the numbering toolbar icon.
