--- Comment #229 from liotier <[email protected]> ---
Mathias Bauer explained in 2007
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959#c76) that, on top of being
a substantial and entirely new layout, this functionnality depended on being
able to display simultaneously multiple layouts for a single document - which
implied significant refactoring of the existing functionnality. In 2008
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959#c96) he underlined that
lack of progress was not caused by undervaluing this feature but because its
cost made it a lower priority. Support for multiple layouts was added in 2010
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=81480). Since then, no news as
far as I could find by searching around. Mathias was most informative and
constructive - has anyone heard from him ?

The last modifications to the wiki's Writer/ToDo/Layout page
(https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Writer/ToDo/Layout) were in
2009.

How much of those issues is shared with the LibreOffice project ? I'm posting
here because that is where the conversation about Outline Mode has historically
been focused, but maybe the relevant people have moved on...
