Description sforbes 2003-07-28 17:27:19 UTC
footnote numbering missing an option to number using the Hebrew alphabet,
althugh Arabic and Thai options are present.

to repro:
* make sure that you have your OO set up to support Hebrew
* tools--footnotes--autnumbering: look for an option to use Hebrew numerals

.
Comment 3 falko.tesch 2003-08-25 14:45:51 UTC
This is not restricted on Footnotes only. We need to have such entries
in general.
Comment 4 Dieter.Loeschky 2003-08-25 15:14:49 UTC
DL->FT: Would you please provide a spec on this?
Comment 5 falko.tesch 2003-08-28 13:41:48 UTC
There is no real spec needed for this. AFAIU wherever we can
manipulate numbering, no matter if in footnotes, in TOC or whatsoever,
we will use the same list of available numbering formats.

FT->SF: please provide/implement a list of used numbering lists for
Hebrew.

Comment 11 falko.tesch 2003-10-30 09:27:32 UTC
Add Hebrew numbering to OO.o.
Hebrew numbering must be treated the same as Thai and Arabic numbering
is (not visible when CTL support is disabled).
Please see Shosannah's postings.

Please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. 
If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your
owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation.
In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the
target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the
resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or
'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.

Comment 13 karl.hong 2003-10-30 22:40:29 UTC
Will add Hebrew  alphabet list.
Comment 14 karl.hong 2003-12-09 20:25:43 UTC
According to 'The Hebrew Numbering System' in

http://people.netscape.com/smontagu/writings/HebrewNumbers.html

There are two numbering system for us to implement,

1. The alphabetical system, which uses 22 letters of the alphabet in sequence,
similar to English alphabet letter A, B, ..., AA, AB, ... What bug submitter
refer to Arabic and Thai options in footnote is for this system.

2. The numerical system, which uses 22 letters to present different number. The
spec document attached in this bug, created by sforbes is for this system.

The first system is relatively simple, I will fix it in cws i18n09. 

The second system is similar to CJK native numbering, or number spellout. The
spec has explained how to form small number, less than 10,000, I am still not
clear how to present large number. I will create another bug for implementing
this system in Native Numbering service.
Comment 15 karl.hong 2003-12-09 21:07:00 UTC
Add Hebrew alphabetical list in cws i18n09.
Comment 16 karl.hong 2003-12-17 22:54:57 UTC
verified in i18n09.
Comment 17 stefan.baltzer 2004-02-27 15:29:29 UTC
SBA: Verified in CWS i18n09.
Comment 18 stefan.baltzer 2004-02-27 15:29:51 UTC
SBA: Set to verified.

Did you ever file that bug? Or should I file it?
This numbering system is the one more widely used, so we do need to have it in OOo
Comment 20 stefan.baltzer 2004-04-25 00:33:35 UTC
SBA: OK in build 680m34. Closed

SBA->Sforbes: To ensure that Karl did file another issue, feel free to query 
around a little :-) - Or mail him directly. He is not on CC of this one so he 
probably won't read your comment.
