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 " Both of these could basically be summed up as "allow targeting of styles and formatting via regular expressions", which seems quite ambitious. It would mean adding new non-standard regex syntax. I'll change the summary accordingly. That said, the AltSearch extension already seems to offer what you want: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/70066 https://macrojtb.hys.cz/HelpAltSearch_en.html List box 'Properties' This enables searching according to properties (attributes), and also according to the values of these properties. The search entry must begin with the string [:::, followed by a name of a property (more than one name can be separated using the | sign) and must end with the string ::]. After this can follow the specification of some search text. If the value of the property is to be searched, the construction name=value should be used. [:::ParaStyleName::] - searches for paragraph style [v1.3.1] [:::ParaStyleName=::] will find all whole paragraph with paragraph style another than the Default style [:::ParaStyleName=Example::] will find whole paragraph with paragraph style Example [:::ParaStyleName=Example::] something will find text something if it is formatted through paragraph style Example etc. > 4. Help can be offered offered in building complex regular expressions by > presenting a drop-down list with options of strings to match I guess the design team can mull over this one as well and the potential splitting of the report can be done after the decision. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
