Bug ID: 149287
Summary: UI: A different Formatting Mark for Numbered Entries
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.6.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
With visible Formatting Marks the Writer user cannot see the distinction
between a normal paragraphs and Unnumbered Entries. It would be helpful when an
alternative Formatting Mark is chosen to make the distinction. I am aware that
it can be seen indirectly, after reasoning, by looking at the number of next
numbered entry. Not everyone would do this reasoning and a different Mark
symbol would make recognition more intuitive.
There must be a good reason why they are called List Entries. I would therefore
recommend to show the end of a numbered entry with a different symbol. I think
§ would be a good candidate since I see it often used to indicate paragraph
numbers. Unnumbered entries then can remain like they are and end with the ¶
symbol.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a Numbered List with one entry of random text
2. Somewhere in the middle of the text do a Format > Lists > Insert Unnumbered
Entry
Actual Results:
Both entries show the same paragraph Formatting Mark
Expected Results:
Both entries should end with a different Formatting Mark because they are not
the same.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
My proposal is that the § symbol is used for numbered entries and the ¶ for
paragraphs and unnumbered list entries.
