While this is true in many cases, there are two (common) situation, where this will probably fail. 1. Some users may wish to case some text containing abbreviations, e.g.: - "This is e.g. an abbr. text" => we don't want the "an" and "text" to behave like starting a new sentence 2. In some languages, a new sentence may start with a more specialized syntax: - dialogues in Romanian: "- This is a dialogue." - questions in Spanish: "?Should that be an inverted questionmark?" There might be other situations where a user wishes that the sentence markers are interpreted differently in his text and this customizing ability gives the greatest flexibility. Everything is about having different choices for greatest flexibility. But again, if there is no time to implement this, than I can live with the provided functions (although with my solution, the code would be only minimally more complex). The second important point, I am NOT a programmer, it only happens that I know some C++. And my problem is, that I have absolute no idea of OOo internals and no time to learn it (by the way, I am also involved with 3 non-writer projects). BUT issue 1601 is 5 years old and I would be very grateful if a developer takes one or two afternoons and implements this. There were 15 votes for the issue (and a number of dupes). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
