            Bug ID: 141988
           Summary: Online help pages don't indicate their
                    context/hierarchy position
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz1 at gmx.com
                CC: olivier.hallot at libreoffice.org

Consider this help page:

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/02/02050000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER

It says:

> Text running from top to bottom
> 
> Specifies the vertical direction of the text.

that's an interesting tidbit of information. But - where is this control
localed? Is it a toolbar button? A dialog button? Which LO module presents it?

If I knew this help item was in, say,

LO Help > Writer > Toolbars > Formatting 

(it isn't, I'm just making that hierarchy up) then I would know. Alternatively,
there could be at least a link to the help page of the containing
element/dialog/menu/toolbar.

This is particularly problematic when you locate help pages using the search,
rather than through browsing.
