Bug ID: 158099
Summary: Auto numbering needs more options for RTL languages to
change direction of numbers
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium

Description:
Hi.
I as a native Persian writer has a serious problem about auto numbering in
LibreOffice and specially about writer and that is RTL numbering. Assume I have
this text:
1. Chapter 1
1.1. Section 1
1.2. Section 2
1.2.1. Subsection 1
1.2.2. Subsection 2
1.2.3. Subsection 3
And these are Heading1 to Heading3. This in Left to right languages is OK
because semantically is correct. In numbers, first part is chapter number,
second is section and third is subsection.
In RTL languages, the standard for numbering is Right to Left. I mean, above
text should be like this:
1. فصل اول
1.1. بخش اول
2.1. بخش دوم
1.2.1. زیربخش اول
2.2.1. زیربخش دوم
3.2.1. زیربخش سوم
but in the current version of LibreOffice, it is like this:
1. فصل اول
1.1. بخش اول
1.2. بخش دوم
1.2.1. زیر بخش اول
1.2.2. زیربخش دوم
1.2.3. زیربخش سوم
And numbering are left to right, and this is not true semantically.
So my request is adding an option in numbering section or localization to make
this auto numbering RTL as like as the text.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. write text
2. enable autonumbering by toggle ordered list and change outline format to
enable sublevels
3. make the text RTL
Actual Results:
1. فصل اول
1.1. بخش اول
2.1. بخش دوم
1.2.1. زیربخش اول
2.2.1. زیربخش دوم
3.2.1. زیربخش سوم
Expected Results:
1. فصل اول
1.1. بخش اول
1.2. بخش دوم
1.2.1. زیر بخش اول
1.2.2. زیربخش دوم
1.2.3. زیربخش سوم
