--- Comment #1 from ajlittoz <[email protected]> ---
I fully support this enhancement request.

Due to the wide variety of numbering specifications, notably in US legal
papers, my suggestion is to make Separators Before and After part of the
level-specific parameters instead of having them global.

The dialog (list styles and chapter numbering) could be modified as follows:

Separators
  Before |__________]
  After  |__________|  |____| If last

To get present behaviour, a dot in entered in Separator Before in levels 2-10

The box "If last" replaces Separator After in case this level is the last one
to get the present effect of the "global separators. For example to enclose the
number inside parentheses:
level 1 Before (
level 2 Before . If last )
level 3 Before . If last )
…

In US legal papers, citations are commonly of the form A(e)(2)g which could be
described as:
level 1 Before   After   (both void)
level 2 Before ( After )
level 3 Before ( After )
level 4 Before   After   (both void)

User thus gets full control over numbering formatting.
