Wow - that is -horrible- :-) sw/source/core/doc/docglbl.cxx takes quite
some reading. Anyone cutting and pasting code like that deserves a
near-death experience ...

Right.

It would be great; we could leave the public methods as they are now,
and have a single private impl. that they call with the extra
'bool bOutline' or whatever ?

Simply terrible :-)

I would save each method to its own file, and do a 'diff -uw' between
them to be sure we isolated all the changes. Then add a boolean
conditional in there instead, and revert to a single version. Of course,
any differences may be bug fixes that only hit one version ;-) so I'd be
inclined to check their provenance in the git record.
HTH,
Michael.
