I agree, and it seems, the solution is the way. The April version of the package contains the other files, too, under usr/share/libnumbertext: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libnumbertext/ But I strongly think of fixing the recent bad list in Writer, because double superscripted asterisk is a bug obviously. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Custom footnote demo file with abbreviated ordinal-number footnote numbering
style
This numbering style ("1st, 2nd, 3rd...") is defined in Numbertext's en.sor
text file in a LO installation, so it's easy to modify it under the
ordinal-number section to get custom footnote numbering.
Note: footnote numbering uses the language filed defined in the locale setting,
not language file of the document language.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145239 László Németh changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|WONTFIX |WORKSFORME CC||nem...@numbertext.org --- Comment #11 from László Németh --- It's possible to customize footnote symbols: – choose a Numbertext-based numbering style for the footnote numbers in Tools->Footnotes and Endnotes...; – and modify the associated text file, e.g. en.sor for the English locale (Note: it seems, the language is locale dependent for footnotes, and not related to the document language, like the other orderings). E.g. the patch for it: $ diff share/numbertext/en.sor.orig share/numbertext/en.sor 191,195c191,211 < (.*1\d) \1th < (.*1) \1st < (.*2) \1nd < (.*3) \1rd < (.*) \1th --- > 1 > 2 † > 3 § > 4 ¶ > 5 ‡ > 6 > 7 †† > 8 §§ > 9 ¶¶ > 10 ‡‡ > 11 > 12 ††† > 13 §§§ > 14 ¶¶¶ > 15 ‡‡‡ > 16 > 17 > 18 > 19 > 20 > (.*) \1 A test document, and the modified en.sor are attached.

So again: the idea is charming, brings all the flexibility we want to offer, and might be not too difficult to implement. But we better do not allow deviations from the standard. If you want to use the "MEDIUM SIX SPOKED ASTERISK" just do it without the automatic numbering. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145239 --- Comment #8 from Walter Tuvell --- As for references, Google for "sequence of symbols used for footnotes". When I did this just now, the first 4 hits showed 4 different sequences for the "standard/suggested" (LO's hard-coded sequence matched Wikipedia's). But note also my comment about "=U+1F7B6 ≠ *=U+002A". When using "star" as a footnote marker, you want to use "star," and not "asterisk." That's because asterisk is ALREADY superscript, so when used as footnote marker it becomes double-superscripted. Which is just plain wrong. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

While the user-defined string idea is easy to integrate into the UI it opens a can of worms. There are alternatives for special demands, eg. you could manually number the footnotes. Unless there is a clear need based on standards the advice is to resolve as WF. So do you have any reference? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145239 --- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg --- My opinion: Yes, some footnote reference mechanisms have auto-progression/numbering. But - some do not; and that may be sufficient for justifying this feature - even as a more general implementation of what we have now, which simply gets exposed for user addition. The implemented feature, at this point, could be customizing only fixed finite lists with no auto-progression. However - I would only be in favor of this if there are multiple obvious examples. OP's example is one. Are there more? I'm not sure I buy ①②③. That is, without auto-numbering, it's not as useful, and even with it - I kind of doubt anybody would actually use this. If there's only one or two obvious examples, we could for now just expand the non-customizable selection. (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #5) > Instead, we really should be looking to implement support for CSL (Citation > Style List) But isn't that only for references/citations?

It is a specific enhancement with hardcoded table with logic for repeating markers as the sequence expands. Doing this one-off per reference system, or "simply" giving the user a means to specify their own sequence of footnote marks would lead to endless enhancement and feature creep. Instead, we really should be looking to implement support for CSL (Citation Style List) where in addition to Footnote markings: parenthetical refs, list sequence, indentation, font, fontsize, etc. are defined. See bug 121945 and dupes for what CSL offers and what is gained by pursuing more reasonable CSL support to parse and load document styling, greatly improving integration with referencing/authoring tools like Zotero or Mendeley. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

ODF seems to allow a flexible assignment: "20.322 style:num-format...a value of type string" and I wonder if we can do something like for list styles with a user-defined character per level. Simplest solution from the UI POV is to have a string like "①②③" that continues similar to the Chicago style (introduced for bug 55436) after the maximum number showing ①①, ①② etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
