Description:
Hello,

I would like to suggest an improvement to the numbering section.

Specifically, it would be very useful to add an option to define custom numbering, even if it is only available through programming or an advanced configuration panel. Ideally, this could be done via an additional settings panel that uses the same template as the existing numbering options. This is important so users can adapt easily and implement custom logic without having to change the core program or their usual workflow.

A simpler mode would also be perfectly acceptable. Whether the feature is advanced or basic is not critical—the key point is enabling greater flexibility to support different languages and numbering definitions.

In my particular case, I work with legal documentation, and there are situations where certain numbers must be defined using Spanish ordinal or named conventions within a single number, while the rest of the document follows the standard numbering pattern. Even the ability to make a small character-level modification would be enough to allow proper customization.

Another possible approach could be introducing a “number style” feature, similar to character styles. However, this might be more complex than necessary. A more straightforward solution would be to include a “custom numbering” option within the existing customization or numbering panel.

Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Best regards,

Steps to Reproduce:
styles - new style - customize - number: 1,2,3 - options (styles by LibreOffice)

Actual Results:
Presets defined by default program, and all the options are included by deveolpers 


Expected Results:
Add a freature for user custom numbering (like "add) or "create style nunbering at "Other styles panel" 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
