Just a short note about tables in paragraphs, ... -- replying below to -- From: Howard Morris (aka Col Boogie) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 6, 2015 11:41 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: html code generated from Open Office
[ ... ] I also remember seeing emails about trouble with Open Office Math. >From using it, it looks like LaTex code. <orcmid> Well, it looks a little like TeX, but it isn't TeX. It goes back to how StarMath was conceived. Regina can provide much more about that. </orcmid> Editing Open Office Writer in Word and saving it in .odt format, the LaTex code gets changed. It would be nice if we added an insert a “Greek letter” as a Math options panel. If anyone wants to redo it, I know how to write math expressions using native html. Basically I use an (inline) table to hold all the symbols. I do realize that currently Open Office cannot have a table in the middle of a paragraph. However, I think we can sneak in a construct. <orcmid> In the ODF Schema, table elements are text-content, not paragraph-content. There are ways to introduce text content in certain paragraph-content elements, such as with text frames. If you want to roam around in the schema, this might be fun for you: <http://nfoworks.org/notes/2014/05/n140504f.htm>. However, I think using MathML and full Unicode for symbols may be better in that particular case. </orcmid> Howard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
