Image of TOC

LibreOffice Writer has a great feature in “Tools | Chapter Numbering” that will
automatically number headings and subheadings. It can do 1,2,3,4, A,B,C,D or
one, two, three, four, and much more. This allows the author to use the
Navigator pane to reorder headings and subheadings without having to renumber
them. 

However, I wanted to use this for a novel where the chapters were “Chapter One”
“Chapter Two” etc. There was no text for the [Heading 1] just a blank line. The
actual text looked great, but the TOC was a disaster. It was missing the lines
for the blank heading 1 entries. I can see where the authors of novels would
really like this to work. A lot of time is spent when writing to get the
chapters and scenes in the correct order. Renumbering by hand each time adds to
the work and frustration.

Attached is an image of the TOC for a “simple” novel as well as the actual odt
file.

Chapters 1 & 5 have titles while 2-4 have blank titles. In the Navigator, they
look correct. But in the TOX Chapters 2-4 have no entries. This makes
LibreOffice Writer’s “ChapterNumbering” almost useless when writing the most
common style for novels today.
