--- Comment #2 from William Friedman <[email protected]> ---
Ah, I see now. Thank you for the clarification.

I think this might be related to a bigger problem, the total conflation of
chapter numbering with list numbering, when the former has options not
associated with the latter. For example, I searched in the online help for
"chapter" in module Writer. One of the matches was "changing -- chapter levels"
which I then clicked on, while pulled up this:
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/guide/insert_tab_innumbering.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id3145078.
There it says "To insert a tab between the number or bullet and the paragraph
text for all list paragraphs at a given list level, use the Numbering followed
by option in the Position tab in the Bullets and Numbering dialog."

So I tried it by setting the style to Heading 1, and then pulled up the
Position Tab in the Bullets and Numbering dialog as indicated. Because this is
the standard Bullets and Numbering dialog and not the special Chapter Numbering
one, "line break" is not an option for "Numbering followed by", despite the
fact that I am trying to set the Numbering options for a chapter heading style,
and followed a link in the help that came up when I searched for "chapter"!

I'm not sure if this is best characterized as a documentation problem or an UI
problem or both. Certainly, though, if I'm hitting a link in the help that is
supposed to talk about chapter numbering, it should lead me to the options that
pertain to chapter numbering specifically, especially if they're different than
the options for regular list numbering.
