An LO file demonstrating my outlines
I've noticed that LO and LaTeX get different results when outline levels are
mixed. I often use outline numbering in ways that mix and match levels without
necessarily going in hierarchical order. Let's say I have three heading styles
(Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3). If I put them in order, in LO I get
(properly):
1. Heading 1
1.1 Heading 2
1.1.1 Heading 3
This corresponds to LaTeX's Section, Subsection, and Subsubsection
environments, which appear as follows (again properly):
1. Section
1.1 Subsection
1.1.1 Subsubsection
But, if I switch the second and third headings, LO and LaTeX provide different
results. In LO, I get
1. Heading 1
1.1.1 Heading 3
1.2 Heading 2
but, with LaTeX, I get,
1. Section
1.0.1 Subsubsection
1.1 Subsection
I think LaTeX's treatment is mathematically more correct. Until I actually use
the second heading, it's value should remain "0", which is reflected in LaTeX's
second example. But, LO gives it a value of "1" even though I've not yet used
it. Thus, in LO, my first use of the second Heading is given a value of "2" as
in "1.2" whereas in LaTeX, my first use of the second heading is given a value
of 1 as in "1.1".
This is important as I often mix heading levels with regular text levels in my
outlines. In my outline, levels 1 to 5 are heading styles while levels 6
through 10 are regular text, so I can try to create an outline like the
following:
1. Heading 1 (Outline Level 1)
A. Outline-1 (Outline Level 6)
B. Outline-1 (Outline Level 6)
i. Outline-2 (Outline Level 7)
ii. Outline-2 (Outline Level 7)
1.1 Heading 2 (Outline Level 2)
But, when I do this, LO makes the Heading 2 1.2 instead of 1.1.
I think this is a bug, but if not, then I am asking that this behavior be
changed to match that of LaTeX as a feature request.
