Is there a way of getting Libre Office Writer to recognise repeated paragraphs? I’ve come across an old thread that mentions some Basic and/or Python code here:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54995&p=241710#p241076
But not being a coder I’m not sure how to try it out. The thread seems to imply that the code is applied via a Macro. If so, does anyone know how?
Thanks.
On the same forum where you found the solution, in the Tutorials section there is a separate thread How to install a code snippet
Test if it can be done with this extension
As far as I remember, in that discussion it was said
I don’t think anything has changed in 12 years
…except the code!
12 years later I would use:
def remove_duplicate_paragraphs():
doc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
text = doc.getText()
paras = set()
for paragraph in text:
if (p:=paragraph.String) in paras:
paragraph.dispose()
else:
paras.add( p )
Thanks for the help guys.
