Set styles to words and create a Table of Contents in a single click

Description

KeyParaStocX

KeyParaStocX (Keyword-based Paragraph Styling and Table of Contents eXtension) is a LibreOffice extension that searches for the configured keywords in a text, changes their style and builds a Table of Contents for them.

The keywords and their target styles can be configured by the users.

The main functionality of KeyParaStocX is to automatically build a Table of Contents for documents after their formatting, all in a single click.

Features

KeyParaStocX allows to:

• set keywords (regular expressions, actually) to search for,
• set styles that are to be set to the found keywords,
• format a document and build a Table of Contents in a single click.

Users can set the configuration just once and build a Table of Contents in a single click for every document they open.

The extension integrates into Writer options and is independent of the operating system (should work on all).

There are 7 levels of the Table of Contents and thus 7 keyword-style pairs. The lowest level allows an additional keyword to be searched for in case the primary one isn't found. This is for historical reasons - the primary goal the extension was created for was processing legal acts of two types.

KeyParaStocX can also serve developers as an example of how to write a LibreOffice component in Python and how to call a Python component from Basic/StarBasic macro code.

The extension was formerly called "Pożeracz ustaw" or "PozeraczUstaw".
