Bug ID: 159137
Summary: Add "previous/next note" functionality to
cross-references
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
It is very common in academic writing to need two different systems for
cross-referencing footnotes from a footnote: if the cross-referenced note is
adjacent to the current note, one writes "see previous/next note", and if it is
non-adjacent, one writes "see n. X." As far as I can tell this is impossible to
achieve in LO at the moment. One can either insert a reference to the number of
the footnote, or use above/below, but there is no option as far as I can tell
for customizing the language of the cross-reference or for making the form of
cross-reference conditional.
To be clear, the feature I am requesting would allow customizing both the
wording leading up to the reference and allowing the form of the reference
itself to be conditional, e.g.:
If reference is adjacent: "see previous/next note"
If reference is non-adjacent: "see n. X."
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Insert | Cross-reference | Cross-references | Type: Footnotes.
2. See that "refer using" does not allow selecting multiple types.
Actual Results:
Feature not available.
Expected Results:
Feature should be available.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
