Also I do not any idea how to ensure full consistency. But, since I do not know
how users will use the numbered lists, I would let them to decide. 

I use LibreOffice since it's very beginning (earlier I used to use OpenOffice)
and I have never had any problem with the numbered paragraphs format. Until
now. The publisher requested all "sequential" references (I mean [1], [2], [3])
to be presented in a form of a "range" format (like [1-3]). At the same time
the publisher wants the references to be formatted as a numbered list decorated
with square brackets ([1]. Smith J., The only authorized biography of John
Nash, Washington, etc.). And I am not able to meet these requirements because:
1. If I add an square bracket as a "before" part of a numbering format, best I
can get is [1]-[3], which if obviously wrong because the publisher DO NOT
tolerate the inner brackets,
2. If I do not add the bracket the list is numbered but, of course, without
brackets ;)

I am stucked. Do I really need to remove all references and replace it with a
text? In the year of 2018? Really?
