[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 135307] Outline View: should use "Web view", not pages

--- Comment #2 from Matthew Forrester <matthew.forrester at exeter-oxford.com> ---
Outlining should be in a specific view for two reasons. 

Firstly, so that users do not accidentally collapse a section by misclicking
and think that LibreOffice has lost their work. It's frightening (especially to
less computer-savvy users) to see their words suddenly disappear.

Secondly, so that users can switch between the viewing the final printed
version of the document and the outline view where they edit the document,
without losing the state of the outline view.

For example, I am editing a hypothetical section 4.3 with reference to section
6.2, so all other paragraphs are collapsed. But I need to add a table in
section 4.3 and I want to make sure it's at the bottom of a page. So I should
be able to switch to Normal View, add and edit the table in WYSIWYG mode, then
switch back to Outline View and find that everything except sections 4.3 and
6.2 are still collapsed.

I'm not sure whether the second workflow is currently possible or not, but an
Outline View makes it possible to add it at a later data.

(Apologies for double-posting, I though Bugzilla comments would be editable)
