Bug ID: 165725
Summary: Updated Find and Replace
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
LibreOffice has developed into a very complex software, yet the Find and
Replace feature, which I use often, is still very basic. I would appreciate if
you could dedicate some attention to enhance its features. Some examples:
1. Search all text in bold and set them to Heading 2 paragraph style
2. Search for line in bold and its subsequent line and replace line 1 as
Heading 1 and line 2 as Heading 2
3. Match Heading 1 text and prepend the text "Chapter "
4. Help can be offered offered in building complex regular expressions by
presenting a drop-down list with options of strings to match
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Find and Replace
2. select "Regular expressions"
Actual Results:
The four examples mentioned in the description above are not offered.
Expected Results:
It is not possible to perform tasks 1-3 through the current interface, at least
for the common user.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
It would be nice to be able to perform these tasks that go beyond text
manipulation to include formatting marks: (bold, italic, underline, ... ) and
the application of styles (paragraph/character).
This could be done through the enhanced use of regular expressions, with the
capability to match formatting data and styles (paragraph and character)
