An inline paragraph is not followed by a line break but a space (the next paragraph starts on the same line) This would improve compatibility with html import/exports and permit clean creation of in-line titles without macro hacks such as: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=709
Without inline: 3.4.5 Section title in bold/color/whatever Section text here With inline 3.4.5 Section title in bold/color/whatever Section text here
Seems like a valid request. Going to leave it as a medium level enhancement request. Marking as NEW (valid request), can you elaborate a bit on how you would see it behaving? It may be an easy hack (not sure to be honest). With release of 4 coming up I doubt this will be looked at soon but maybe a developer in the future will pick this up. Thanks for reporting and for being patient. Apologies for the long delay before communication from our team. P.S. One question I have is the use of the "Enter" key, would this just cause a space and change the formatting to body text? Also, you'd see the auto update for TOC's with this? Thanks again, I like the idea quite a bit

Also, you'd see the > auto update for TOC's with this? Inlining paragraphs should not change the document structure, it's just presentation. So yes enter after a title would just insert a space and switch to the inline part (if it was defined as successor style to the title style), only the part in title style would end in toc and the toc would be updated the same way it is now for a title style with no inline follow-up
Thanks for bugreport Inserting index entry by: Insert->Indexes and tables->Entry produces the same result. Please, tell what exactly needed. Or what wrong is in existing entry.
This RFE is not about creating a new form of index. This RFE is about enabling a formatting style that can be used in any part of an existing document, without changing its structure
So, there should be possibility to specify character style for entries in text?
It's not a character property, it's a paragraph property. Please re-read the description in comment #1
But paragraph property applicable for whole paragraph only. On screenshot from link in Description we see that formatted only part of paragraph. Therefore it is Character style, not a paragraph. And another question: may be Basic Macro which changes style or formatting for all entries in document will be useful? As temporary workaround at least.
(In reply to comment #8) > But paragraph property applicable for whole paragraph only. On screenshot > from link in Description we see that formatted only part of paragraph. > Therefore it is Character style, not a paragraph. You are confusing document presentation with document structure. The aim of the RFC is to create a *presentation* attribute where a paragraph is followed by a space not a line change. This attribute must not change the document structure itself, or lots of things (indexes, etc) will break.
Thanks for explanations. As I understand, we need additional option for paragraph or paragraph style for current paragraph become followed not by CarriageReturn, but by Space.
Would be swell to have this, e.g., for lower level headings -- there are certain standard document requirements mandating TOC'able inline headings of level 4 equivalent.
I asked about this in the dev chat and the consensus was to close it. A comment: "what if one of the paragraphs has a border? where does the upper margin go? how about numbering on the 2nd paragraph? tab stops, first-line indent..."
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #12) I have elaborated on that kind of arguments in the discussion of: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153904
