--- Comment #10 from Emanuele Gissi <emanuele.gissi at gmail.com> ---
Here is the use case.
The Italian Ministry of Interior is using Libreoffice since 2015 to write the
Fire Safety Code. See it the current revision at: bit.ly/codicepi2019
This is a 300 pages fire safety regulatory text, that has:
- sections (Heading level 1),
- each section is composed of chapters (Heading level 2),
- each chapter is made of paragraphs (Heading level 3),
- and each paragraph is made of sub-paragraphs (Heading level 4).
Like this:
Section G
Chapter G.1
G.1.1 Definitions
G.1.2 Language
...
Chapter G.2
G.2.1 Structure
G.2.2 Procedure
...
Section S
Chapter S.1
S.1.1 Preface
S.1.2 Performance levels
...
Chapter S.2
S.1.1 Preface
S.1.2 Performance levels
...
Section V
...
What we need is a general ToC at the beginning of the full book:
(obtained automatically with Edit Index > Type > Create ToC for Entire
document)
*General ToC*
Section G
Chapter G.1
Chapter G.2
...
Section S
Chapter S.1
...
Section V
...
we also need Section ToCs at the beginning of each section:
(obtained automatically with Edit Index > Type > Create ToC for Chapter, that
is for level 1)
*Section G ToC*
Chapter G.1
Chapter G.2
...
*Section S ToC*
Chapter S.1
Chapter S.2
...
and we also need Chapter ToCs at the beginning of each chapter:
*Chapter G.1 ToC*
Paragraph G.1.1
Paragraph G.1.2
...
*Chapter G.2 ToC*
Paragraph G.2.1
Paragraph G.2.2
...
In the example document (bit.ly/codicepi2019), this third type of ToC is
currently handmade, because the Edit Index > Type > Create ToC for... menu is
limited to "Entire document" or "Chapter".
This is why it is not possible to create a ToC starting from any other lower
level.
This request of enhancement is similar to what is described in:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112301
I remain at disposal for further info/test.
