If a title (a "heading1", for example) is something like this: This is a very very very long long long title split over several lines. the title field will reflect the whole paragraph, but in my heading I want, instead of that, the following : A long title... That is, a reduced version. In latex, you can assign a brief "alias" to a very long title (something like \Chapter[brief title]{The very long complete title}), so if you use a fancy header, the alias and not the actual title is displayed in the header. In OOo, the title field display the whole paragraph, correctly aligned with line breaks when needed, but there is no way to set an "alias", which is an important limitation to the design of complex documents.
Sure, that would be an interesting possibility, though we may need to extend ODF at some point. This is slightly more than an easy hack... any taker for this?
