--- Comment #6 from László Németh <[email protected]> ---
I have found a workaround, good enough also for templates, see the attached
document. Unfortunately, its creation is very tricky, also it is sensitive for
the modifications of footnote settings, so we need a simpler solution to
support French typesetting.

Short description:

1. Paragraph style "Footnote" has got zero indentation (Before text, First
line), but two special tabulator positions (see Tabs page of the paragraph
style settings of Footnote), a decimal tab stop for the right indentation and a
left tab stop for the beginning of the remaining text.

2. Put a tabulator (tricky part, see below), and a dot + tabulator into the
Before and After input boxes in Tools»Footnotes/Endnotes... window. 

Unfortunately, normal input methods (clipboard or local menu of the input box »
Special character) of LibreOffice don't allow tabulator character (or convert
to space), only the direct methods work, eg. Ctrl-Shift-u + hexadecimal code
under Linux (pressing Ctrl-Shift-u, 9, and space), see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#Hexadecimal_code_input. 

Warning: after modifications of Tools»Footnote/Endnotes... it has to fix the
silently converted tabs (spaces) in Before and After input boxes.

Note: this method works for footnote numbering without dots, using „invisible”
characters (eg. U+200B, zero width space) in Tools»Footnote and in the input
box “Character” of Tabs page, too.
