reassigned to ES. ES->BH: do we want to/can we support (check for effort and gain with the DEV) master docs in master docs? I've been writing a very large document with files organized in directories, sub-directories, sub-sub-directories, etc. The files in these directories correspond to Front(Cover, Contents, etc.), Body(Parts, Chapters, Sections, etc.) and Back(Index, Bibliography, Appendices, etc.). The documents have many source data files in the sub-directories that are associated with them via hyper links. I just tried assembling the document using a hierarchy of master documents, and found that it doesn't work. It'd be much easier to build from the bottom up using a hierarchy of masterdocuments following the file structure. Assembling the documents with one master document will be a pain. I'll try assembling sub-documents using a master document and then saving those master documents as regular ODT files. Then I'll assemble them into higher-level master documents and save them as ODF files. And so on, until I've created the whole document. This is not very manageable because it involves a lot of manual work that might result in errors. However, it would easy with hierarchical master documents. So, I've voted that hierarchical master documents be supported. The above export method failed, because export of ODM to ODT produces an uneditable file. See Issue 71707. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". |
