Inconsistent "current" level-2 heading on a first page.
Hi everyone,
I'm facing the same problem, and I would like to give some pro arguments to the
"first-heading-in-page" paradigm (as written in official documention:
<a href="https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Using_fields_in_headers_and_footers">https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Using_fields_in_headers_and_footers</a>),
against the "first-text-node-heading" paradigm (the actual implementation, best
described by Kartik Subbarao:
<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - FORMATTING: Wrong chapter title in running header after the first page of endnotes"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=81012#c6">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81012#c6</a>).
1. The first page problem
-------------------------
A typical case is a document which first page starts with different heading
levels (see attachment):
1. Level 1
1.1. Level 2
1.1.1. Level 3
[text]
The "current" level 2 heading is naturally "Level 2", but the header field will
show "Level 1" as it is the first paragraph of the page.
The "first-heading-in-page" paradigm would have set "Level 2", as expected.
2. Dictionary comparison
------------------------
The best real world example I can think of, regarding level-2 field in header,
is the dictionary habit of referencing first and last entries in a page at the
top of that page.
First entry in header is always the first one in the page, even if this entry
is not the first text of that page (i.e. when a page starts with the end of the
previous definition).
3. This enhancement was once accepted
-------------------------------------
This is a very old request (<a href="https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=16211">https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=16211</a>),
which was immediately accepted by the OOo team but that no one ever took
charge.
Hoping that this can (calmly :)) reopen the debate...</pre>
