--- Comment #2 from Roman Eisele <b...@eikota.de> --- However, let me add another hint: there is no common international order of the *, †, ‡, § … footnote symbols; books about typography tell us that even in the English language and its varieties there are different convention about the order of these symbols; and, e.g., in Germany we had completely different tradition, namely to use either * ** *** † †† ††† or * † ** †† *** ††† or just * ** *** **** ***** … (I have seen all three both in real use and in textbooks). Because of this diversity of conventions, IMHO the best solution would be to give the user the possibility to specify his/her own order. Could this done just by adding an edit field to the dialog window available in Writer via “Tools > Foot/Endnotes…”?! To the popup menu “Numbering”, we should add an entry “Custom”; and if the user selects that entry, an additional edit field near to the popup menu should get enabled, into which the user can enter the desired symbols, separated by blanks and/or commas. But if this is too difficult, it would be also helpful to fulfill Eyal Rozenberg’s original request first, by just adding (I propose) two new entries to the “Numbering” popup menu there: *, †, ‡, § … and (I suggest) * ** *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
