I seem to be running into a bug with Libreoffice intermittently
displaying the wrong Chapter Title field in the header. I've reported
this as bug 81012 in bugzilla:
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81012
In the meantime, I wanted to ask if people had any suggestions for
workarounds. Here's the problem:
I have a Page Style that uses the Chapter Title in the right page
header. In this document, I've created a section to contain each
chapter, with endnotes appearing at the end of the section. This works
fine for the most part, up through the first page of endnotes in a
chapter. After that though, the title of the *first* chapter is
displayed instead of the title of the *current* chapter (see the rh.odt
and rh.pdf files in the bug report to see exactly what I'm saying).
This poses a problem for me since my actual document is a 300+ page book
with lots of chapters, and some chapters have several pages of endnotes
that end up being wrongly formatted.
I'm seeing this bug in 4.2.5.2, and it appears that the bug goes at
least as far back as 3.3.0.4. (That was the earliest version that I was
able to download and test from the download.documentfoundation.org site).
Current workarounds I'm thinking about:
1) Edit the PDF file directly to fix the chapter titles before printing
the book (Somewhat cumbersome and perhaps time-consuming to figure out
how to do properly)
2) Create several copies of the .odt file, hardcoding the Chapter Title
in the header (the first file would be hardcoded to the first chapter,
the second file hardcoded to the second chapter and so on), use
--headless and --convert-to pdf to convert each of those files to PDF,
and then cut+paste the appropriate chapters from each of those PDF files
into a final PDF file that has all of the headers correct. (Tedious but
probably workable, assuming that all of the automated tools work the way
they should).
Any other thoughts/ideas would be welcome.
Thanks,
-Kartik
