           Summary: EDITING: FORMATTING: ENHANCEMENT: Choose characters of
                    each SEPARATOR between numbers in Outline Numbering
          Severity: enhancement

               URL: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=21387
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.5.4 release
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

This bug is originally a duplicate of Bug 21387 in Bugzilla of OpenOffice:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=21387

In nutshell, this bug requests more flexibility in definition of numbering
styles.
For example at best we can show "3rd chapter, 2nd subchapter, 6th
subsubchapter" as:
<III.2.f>
but we can not show it in more complex formats like:
<III-2(f)> (which needs arbitrary texts as separators)
<f.2.III> (which needs reverse order of numbers)

Actually the feature of SETTING ARBITRARY TEXTS FOR SEPARATORS is enough for
solving this issue, because someone can change the order of numbers by putting
RLM character (right to left mark, U+200F) after each separator.

So the main problem and feature request of this bug is the ability to choose
arbitrary text for each separator. Unfortunately, the original Bug 21387 have
remained unresolved in OpenOffice and later LibreOffice since 2003.
Duplicate bugs:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=94794
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=98191
Dependent Bug (regarding order of numberings in RTL languages):
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=98190
All these bugs and the old age of that show why this bug should be fixed as
soon as possible.
