Bug #: 54772
Summary: Writer needs intrinsic collapsing outliner
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Writer needs an intrinsic, collapsing outliner so that writers of long
documents can organize their information better.
The current situation -- the Navigator sidebar -- has some severe limitations.
First, most work is done on computer screens that are too small for
multi-screen displays of information.
Second, the Navigator does not wrap text, so it is hard to read long headings.
Third, the Navigator cannot be hidden under the main document just by clicking
on the main document, it must be closed.
Fourth, Linux currently has few alternatives to the several excellent outliners
found on the Mac. Windows has a couple of barely-adequate ones, including that
found on Word.
An intrinsic outliner would make work flow more seamless.
This application could be part of Writer. However, if the code made writer too
unwieldy for any reason, I suggest mounting another application called Draft,
where writers could, with minimal fussiness, organize a long text outline.
