            Bug ID: 120214
           Summary: Grammatical gender concordance for "spell out"
                    numbering feature
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.1.2 release
          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

6.1 added a numbering schema that "spell out" numbers, providing cardinal or
ordinal numbers. There is a limitation with this feature, though, when used in
Latin based languages: grammar gender. 

I'll use Spanish as example, but the problem is also present in Italian.

Because of grammar gender concordance, in Spanish we need to use "[El] Capítulo
Primero" (male), which works OK, but also "[La] Parte Primera" (female) which
is currently not possible.

In Spanish there is also a particularity for "male" ordinals ending in -ro when
there is an inversion:

"Capítulo Primero" turns into "Primer Capítulo"
"Capítulo Tercero" turns into "Tercer Capítulo"

That is, there is a truncation.

The present feature request is to ask for a way to cover these situations. From
the user point of view, an implementation that just adds more items to the
"Number" list is a good solution. Keeping the list as it is now but adding a
couple of check boxes (one for gender, the other for "truncation") seems
better, but I'm not sure where such check boxes should go.
