            Bug ID: 143433
           Summary: When inserting a FOOTNOTE or ENDNOTE, allow user to
                    chose an alternative anchor character styles
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

This came up as a possible suggestion in Bug 136554.

Currently, when the user inserts a FOOTNOTE or an ENDNOTE, a default anchor
character style is automatically applied.

This is sufficient for many users but doesn't cover all cases. For example,
when using traditional typographic Footnote symbols (*, †, ‡, §, **, †† etc.),
IME, you need to use a separate character style for the asterisks to ensure
that the size is comparable to the other symbols.

To allow for this I would suggest adding an "Anchor character style" option to 
"Insert > Footnote and Endnote > Footnote or Endnote," so that the user can
chose a non-default style if needed.

The other menu and toolbar opotions would be unaffected: they would cointinue
to add a footnote / endnote with the default style as before.
