            Bug ID: 112384
           Summary: Allow line breaks on "separator, after" for chapter
                    numbering
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rgb.mldc at gmail.com

Two line headings for chapters are quite common. In fact they are default on
all "book" documentclasses for LaTeX. They usually display like this

  Chapter 1
  The Chapter Name

  Body text.

usually with the fist line displaying a different format than the chapter name.

On Writer it is possible to get quite close to this format but for a single
point: there is no way to insert an automated line break between chapter number
and chapter name, it needs to be manually added each time. 

Hence the enhancement proposal: in addition to normal text allow the use of a
line break control on "separator, after".

Note: AFAIK, on ODT line breaks are created with the tag <text:line-break/>. I
tried to edit the styles.xml to manually add that tag on the heading style
definition but then Writer complains of a badly formatted file. It seems that
the file format do not allow control tags on the "separator, after" field so
maybe there is a limitation on ODT format that prevents this, but I do not know
enough of ODF to be sure.
