Bug ID: 163706
Summary: Full flexibility to format the footnotes text layout
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Dear LibreOffice team,
Current functionality of LO Writer only allows for a footnotes (e.g. under the
body text) placed each on a separate line.
As a result no normal publishing experience and results could be achieved, as
the footnotes pile up on the left taking most of the space, while an empty and
unused space is formed on the right. This renders otherwise a great product as
LO Writer actually useless in many professional typography cases, where
footnotes flexibility is needed.
Request:
Please allow for a full flexibility in the footnote text layout:
- Inline footnotes: Placed on the same line as the space allows
- Multi-column layout: Define the number of columns (e.g. 1, or 4, or 5, …),
width and spacing, separator lines, as in the normal text body layout
formatting.
- Mixed layout: Manually format the footnotes layout allowing for some
footnotes to be placed inline, and other in a multi-column-paragraph layout, as
needed.
