Bug ID: 170459
Summary: Support specifying alternative text for
table-of-contents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Authors who write documents with multiple headings, and use tables-of-contents,
sometimes want to use _different text_ for the appearance of a heading in the
ToC then its actual text in the document body. For example, the in-body title
might have some paranthetical text, or a verbose phrase taking up a full line
or more than that; but for the ToC, the author can rely on the proximity of the
parent heading, of child headings and of subsequent headings on the same level,
to opt for something shorter.
For comparison, see this popular Tex.SX question and answer about achieving
this effect in LaTeX documents:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/174861/5640
Currently, this is not supported in LibreOffice; and I don't recall this
feature being available in ODF (although I might have missed it).
I suggest we introduce it.
At the moment, users overcome this deficiency by manually modifying their
tables-of-contents; but - as the ToC needs occasional regeneration, they need
to re-apply those edits multiple times. See also the discussion in bug 169210,
comment #9.
