FEATURE REQUEST

I DON'T WANT YOU TO COPY WORD. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTIONALITY, SO
I'VE TOLD YOU HOW IT WORKS IN WORD. I COULD HAVE USED OTHER OUTLINERS AS
EXAMPLES AS WELL. HOWEVER, DEVELOPERS DON'T UNDERSTAND A FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OF THIS PROCESS, APPARENTLY, SO I PROVIDED AN EXAMPLE. THIS FUNCTIONALITY CAN
BE IMPLEMENTED IN ANY WAY THAT YOU WISH, BUT WITHOUT IT, LIBREOFFICE IS
SUBSTANDARD.

When I wrote this, I intended it as a feature request, not a bug. The reality
is that I can never use your writer software until you have an outliner
feature. I've used outliners as a full-time professional writer since the 1980s
with PCOutline, and I moved to Word when they improved on it.

I wrote this extensive feature request because I'm a professional writer, and
until you have this functionality, I consider your product substandard, and I
tell everyone else that I talk about it to that your product is substandard.

I used PCOutline in the 80s as a full-time professional magazine journalist. I
used Word's outliner in the 90s as a full-time professional senior technical
writer for such organizations as Fujitsu Software.

I've used it on contract jobs in the 2000s. As a retired full-time writer
working on both fiction and nonfiction, I use an outliner daily, and I will not
be able to use your substandard product until you provide a professional
outliner.

Just duplicate the functionality of PCOutline from the 80s, and I'll use your
product. It will still be substandard, because PCOutline doesn't have drag and
drop.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO COPY WORD. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTIONALITY, SO
I'VE TOLD YOU HOW IT WORKS IN WORD. 

DEVELOPERS DON'T UNDERSTAND WRITERS, WHICH IS WHY I WAS A PROFESSIONAL SENIOR
TECHNICAL WRITER DURING THE 90S.
