--- Comment #4 from William Friedman <[email protected]> --- The use case, as I said, is to try to implement in-line lists. I admit it's a kludge, but until the normal list function allows for in-line lists, the only way to create an in-line list is to use variables. I'm not sure what's unclear about the use case. They are the same use cases as ordinary lists. Here's an example of how one might use this: Issue X is discussed in [*3*] sources: *1*) A, *2*) B, *3*) C. According to source [*1*], blah; according to source [*2*], blah blah. According to source [*3*], however, ... In this example, *1*, *2*, and *3* are the field variables. The content of the square brackets are references to those variables. The first one refers to the largest numbered variable, and the next three refer to the individual variables of the list. What I'm asking for, specifically, is the ability to customize the separator surrounding each of those variables -- the close parenthesis in this example -- just like I can customize the separator after ordinary list numbers in Bullets and Numbering | Customize | Separator. Again, this wouldn't be necessary if Lists & Numbering supported in-line lists, but it doesn't. This also wouldn't be necessary if one could search and replace field variables, but that also isn't a possibility. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
