The SanityCheck.oxt extension for Guides

Hello Team

@bantoniof wrote a set o macros for Guides format sanity checking. It has been packed as an extension for Writer and master documents.

The checking is based on the 24.x chapter template and follows the rules and styles set there. It will not work on documents other than our Guides.

The extension can be downloaded from this link.

The user guide for the extension can be accessed on this link

Many thanks to @bantoniof for this wonderful tool that spares hours for manual reformatting. I have used it extensively on the current Getting Started Guide 24.8 I am revising.

Cheers
Olivier

Hello Olivier

Some info please on Fields.

I can insert a field in Draw and Impress, but now I cannot edit the inserted fields.

Also, I cannot insert a custom field in Draw and Impress.

Has there been changes in LibreOffice that have not been placed in the release notes?

Hello Peter
I tested back to 7.5 and I confirm.

There is no UI to insert custom fields and no way to edit an inserted field (restricted to a few and basic metadata, there is no way to insert the fields available in the Description tab of the Properties, aka Dublin Core.

If that is not a regression, it deserves an enhancement ticket.

Olivier

Thanks for the info Olivier.

Is it worth raising a bug report for the enhancement?
