Description:
I have a .doc file with a table of contents with navigable links in Word.(attached TOC_not_working_in_HTML.doc).
This file has 2 sections and a TOC which links to them. If you open it in Word, you can navigate using TOC links to each section.

I generated the .html file using some macro: "soffice –headless TOC_not_working_in_HTML.doc  “macro:///Batch_Conversions.Module1.UpdateAllAndConvertToHTML(html)"
The macro basically opens the document with LO, updates all and saves the file converting it with the filter “HTML (StarWriter)”.
If instead of using the macro I convert it with (soffice --headless --convert-to "html:HTML (StarWriter)" TOC_not_working_in_HTML.doc), the .html TOC directly is a plain text without links to anything.

Here is the macro pseudo code:

Sub UpdateAllAndConvertToHTML( Optional Output_Format As String )

dim Filter(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
Filter(0).Name  = "FilterName"
Filter(0).Value = "HTML (StarWriter)"

UpdateAllAndKeepFileOpen

CurFileName= ThisComponent.getLocation()
NewFileName=Left( CurFileName, Len( CurFileName ) - 4 ) + ".html"
ThisComponent.storeToURL( NewFileName, Filter() )
ThisComponent.Close ( True )

End Sub

Sub UpdateAllAndKeepFileOpen
{
…
document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:SelectAll", "", 0, Array())
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:UpdateAll", "", 0, Array())
…}

End Sub

As you can see, the TOC_not_working_in_HTML_LO_7_BAD.html TOC is not working. The reference from the TOC don’t get you to the different sections.
The LO version used in this case was: LibreOffice 7.6.1.1

If I use the older version (LibreOffice 6.0.7.3), the resulting html TOC works (see TOC_not_working_in_HTML_LO_6_GOOD.html file).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Convert to html with LibreOffice the .doc example file using a similar macro or the convert-to command directly

Actual Results:
The TOC in resulting html file is not working in LO version 7.6.1.1

Expected Results:
In older version (6.0.7.3) doing the same procedures, the TOC is working in HTML file.
