show bookmarks?

Hi, (especially os )

does anybody have some knowledge about the "show
bookmark" code? It's in core/crsr/viscrs.cxx and you
have to the the
SHOW_BOOKMARKS option.

After fixing some compile problems actually bookmarks where
shown. Isn't that a cool feature?

I guess it was written for debugging puposes only but maybe
we want to make it available for the user too?

os: Any idea in what shape the code is? Is it ancient JP
code?

Hi,
it really looks like debugging support. The bookmarks get a
selection mark.
I'm not sure anybody needs this. You have the possibility to
jump to 
each bookmark with the status bar context menu or with the
Navigator.

Oliver

Sometimes it's more safe when the bookmarks are visible.
In my experience it's easy to delete them when you do not
want to.

See issues 2517, 22290, 35308. So yes. *any*body needs that

Hi,
well, I would say somebody needs _something_ to mark
bookmarks. It's 
probably not _that_ 

A simple mark like in the text selection doesn't help a lot.
It's not 
distinguishable to the cursor selection, it doesn't show
start/ends of 
overlapping bookmarks ...

The more elements of text are marked somehow (fields and
index entries 
usually are) the more a differentiator is needed.

Regards,

Oliver

Just wondering what happened, if anything, over this
discussion.

To me it would be useful to have bookmarks visible in some
way. When I
wrote a macro for easily cross referencing headings I chose
"set
references" as these could be optionally displayed.
However, "set
references" get converted to bookmarks when the
document is saved in
Word format, so don't round-trip between Word and OOo. I am
now working
on Zotero integration and using bookmarks (again because
bookmarks
round-trip) and think that optionally being able to easily
see where a
bookmark begins and ends would be useful. (Word 2000, the
latest I have,
uses [] to show bookmarks. They can be displayed or not via
Tools >
Options > View.)

Cheers,
Ian Laurenson
