--- Comment #7 from brucehatfield at gmail.com ---
Word style separators are perhaps the key feature lacking in Libreoffice that
prevents widespread Law office/legislator usage of LO Writer. I translate
patents and other documents for US Federal court (+ other jurisdictions) and
first came aware of the use of style separators to minimize navigation pane
content to essential content (instructions from judge's clerk). Basically it
means only the essential part of a heading can now be indexed in the navigation
pane/pdf bookmarks (converted from word).
There is extensive discussion of style separators in the Microsoft community
demonstrating the important - not obscure - role of this function:
e.g. 
•Formatting issue with style separator when combined with equations and
automatic numbering (Office 2013) Nov 19, 2015
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/formatting-issue-with-style-separator-when/e32e9e4e-5edd-4103-88a8-9cdf65a94458
•Updating TOC breaks style separators (Ctrl+Alt+Enter) Jun 17, 2020

•Run-in sidehead in TOC Nov 10, 2013
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/run-in-sidehead-in-toc/0c1b77e3-4c3c-4324-8277-e8f4f51d37d7
◧ As for discussion of use in university thesis writing of style separators as
an example: 
"Creating an Inline Heading" mentioning that the APA style defines a
level-three heading as being indented in italic on the same line as the first
sentence in the paragraph.
https://wordribbon.tips.net/T012723_Creating_an_Inline_Heading.html
So the issue is VERY IMPORTANT as it is a programming omission that renders
Writer unusable in perhaps all complex document preparation.
If the task is too difficult pls advise so we know whether this key feature can
finally be included or not.
