Bug ID: 147400
Summary: Endnote page style seems to disable formatting
features (outline level, page break, …)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When endnotes are numerous, it is often necessary to "patch" formatting so that
the notes are more readable and layout is nicer looking. The "patches" include
adding additional text like line-breaks or page breaks and assigning a
different paragraph style to some notes.
It looks like page breaks are purely ignored in Endnote pages, whether they are
manually added or supposed to be the consequence of Text Flow property of the
paragraph style.
Also, when there are many notes, the header could be dynamically adapted with
fields to follow the "headings" interspersed throughout the notes. For this, I
add special endnotes to document headings. Special endnote contents is the
value of current chapter name (works because the endnote is next to the heading
in the XML encoding). So far, so good. Special endnote paragraph style is
assigned to outline level 1 (but not collected in TOC).
Unfortunately, the outline tag is not taken into account in the Endnote page
style header: when I insert a chapter name field, the captured value is not the
state in the first line of the page but what was current at the location prior
to the endnote page!
This behaviour can be explained if the endnote engine interferes with the
"standard" text/page behaviour.
Is there a way to revert to normal formatting in endnotes?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a document with endnotes
2. add a page break Ctrl+Enter in a note
For the header issue, since it is more complex, see attached sample fil
Actual Results:
Page break is ignored
Outline level in notes is ignored
Expected Results:
Effective page break
Retrieval of current chapter the same as in "ordinary" pages
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
