Bug ID: 103249
Summary: Enhancement: convert all footnotes to endnotes at once
(and/or vice versa) plus additional conversion options
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: joss.br...@gmx.net
Description:
The option to convert all notes in one shot would be a great feature for
authors or typesetters with documents that contain a lot of footnotes or
endnotes. It is very easy to do it manually, in the case of odt files by
unzipping contents.xml from the .odt, then just changing the note-class
instances accordingly, e.g. with the sed command, then updating the odt with
the zip command. (For fodt files it's even simpler to do.) So I assume it would
be comparably easy to implement it into LibreOffice Writer. There should also
be a couple of sub-options:
(1) Exchange footnotes and endnotes
[This would change all footnotes into endnotes, and all previous endnotes into
footnotes]
(2) Change footnotes into endnotes and merge with existing endnotes
(3) Change endnotes into footnotes and merge with existing footnotes
[Sub-options 2 & 3 would require renumbering.]
