[Libreoffice] [PATCH] Cross-references to numbered paragraphs: remove trailing dots at the end of a cross-reference, or where they precede an open parenthesis that starts the next paragraph level in the cross-reference (bugzilla 33960).

[Cedric Bosdonnat]

Hi Troy,

Many thanks for your nice patch: you found out the right place to hack!
However I have some concerns here...

This is quite restrictive as it only clears the ending '.' I think that
the same should apply whatever the suffix is.. Would one want to have
[1-] as the reference?

You could either hack the MakeNumString itself or get inspired of it to
get the suffix to remove.

Why that test for strings starting with '(' ?

Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need some to improve the patch and
keep doing nice work like this one.
