[libreoffice-website] Fwd: [tdf-discuss] Wiki heading styles need numbering

Hi, :-)

I'm forwarding this thread from the TDF discuss list in the hope that
someone can implement a solution.

Anyone here got the necessary permissions?

TIA. ;-)

Hi, :-)

I'd like to suggest that the wiki should be reconfigured so that
headings show numbering. It would make content on pages much easier to
refer to (I know there's numbering in the Table of Contents block but,
IMHO, it's not enough).

In localsettings.php, you can change numberheadings to 1 and be done
with it. No code changes.[1]

$wgDefaultUserOptions['numberheadings'] = 1;


If desired, there is also an Extension [2] which allows tweaking heading
numbering on individual pages.

Hi Nino, hi David!

David, you refer to references to the page. I think one of the
advantages of a wiki page is, that the content might change
quickly/easily ... and so does (might) the numbering. It is more a
"living" document. I think this is the reason for omitting the heading
numbers (in the default setting).

I don't know if this answers you question, but I usually use the links
from the TOC to refer to a certain section. But also they might
change ... so there is a possibility to refer to a certain version of
the page as well.

Cheers,
Christoph

David,
I would also love to see heading numbering introduced into the wiki. This
would bring the wiki format up to standard with the LibreOffice
documentation heading format.

Christoph's concern about linking is a concern. Does anyone know if heading
numbers can be introduced into MediaWiki as a display only feature without
impacting the links?

Hi, :-)
Well I guess one can "hard-write" them into the text. But then you
need the TOC to be numberless like the headings in the body...

Maybe useful to have two style sheets available - one with numbering
and one without...

Links are independant of the heading autonumbering of course (as you can
switch numbering on/off in your user settings)

For quicker referencing a current topic it's fine to have autonumbering
ON. Sometimes on longer pages there are several headings sounding very
similar so referencing them by number clarifies unambigously which
section is referred to. That might be wrong tomorrow, but nevertheless
cleares things today ;-)
