Configure Headings text format

Open klode82 opened this issue 5 months ago • 6 comments

It would be more efficient defining font size for Headings elements. For the text format is possible to select the font and the size of text. It would be great if you can set the Heading sizes (h1 - h4).

Do you mean font size in the editor or the manuscript?

Do you mean font size in the editor or the manuscript?

I mean, if I use Heading2 into my text, I don't have any option about format of it. Neither inside the editor.

Yes, but where do you wish to define the size? Do you mean when writing in the editor or when you generate the manuscript?

I don't know if it is what @klode82 means, but at the risk of hijacking the issue, I think the ability to adjust how the headings are rendered when generating a manuscript would be very useful. As it stands, I find myself making adjustments to the headings in LibreOffice after exporting.

I mean like @hestelvar wrote. It would be useful to define the font and the size of headings on generating the manuscript.

The point of the settings for the manuscript is to conform to the various manuscript style guides for submissions, not to tweak it to personal preferences. The latter is more or less out of scope and can be achieved in word processors and other applications. I may add the option to override the size of the headings, but multiple fonts is out of scope I think.
