hi,
How come the great new edition of Libreoffice still does not even address the lack of a global level “Text Editing Mode”, i.e. a MS Word like outline view? requests have been made thousands of times, patience have been demonstrated, as well as tolerance for the silly thing, “navigator”… which is only as useful as a TOC… so to speak, a quick access to the text’s sections… but that’s all, when editing your text, it is no great help – like being thrown back to the '90s… to OpenOffice
Most evidently, Libreoffice Writer is very similar to MS word, providing all the functionality that it has, and more… but somehow the outline view got stuck in the pipeline … some time over a decade ago… and while EPUB 3 works, and all the shiny importing capabilities work, and much more, new styles, colors, etc, I mean, the competition against MS Word is happening at full thrust, it’s fierce …
… the outline view just did not make it into the making…
neither for the competition game’s sake… nor for the LO users’…
looks like there’s no way it’s ever gonna happen…
For all that, I am practically certain that by the end of 2019, Libreoffice Writer will have an outline view…
Why? Because that’s the way software develops… according to usage… and functionality demands
that is, if writing involves viewing (and editing) your text in an outline view…
the software will adapt…
cause that’s the way it goes…
so, my questions is:
do you think that in 2018 we can already have an outline view function? parallel to navigator, not instead of it?
I respect your work!
and I expect your application to get even better 
thank you VERY MUCH!
Peter
PS:
I only briefly took a look at the 6.0.1-1 … I was checking
-
if navigator has improved
-
if in “VIEW” menu, besides “normal” and “web”, there was a new view, like “outline” or “editor” or something
and I uninstalled it, and reinstalled version 5, so, it could be that I have overlooked something during those few minutes
