hi Mohamed,

SwTextNode::GetLabelFollowedBy() to get the type of spacing.

SwTextNode::GetListTabStopPosition() would give a tab stop position but
i think it may be the wrong one for your case - we probably don't want
to apply a first-line indent of the paragraph to ToX entries.... and the
list style also may have indents which probably shouldn't be applied
either, although i'm less sure of that...

well i don't know the details of numbering well enough, the general idea
sounds right but it's not immediately obvious to me what exactly this
should do.

 michael
