Do I understand correctly that it is for this reason the functions in Writer tables are called formulas? :) https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/main0214.html Although in the other place they are called all the same functions. https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/02/14020000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN Note: it is without some [NoRuntime], or [NoCalc]. or even [Writer].

In the letter Jean-Francois Nifenecker talks about his book and lists the names of the chapters. One of the chapters has the title "5 - Runtime Library". https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/msg11968.html I have not read his book, but I guess he does not write about a Runtime Library. Most likely he chose this name only because after each function in the help we use the term Runtime. In addition, I really do not understand why the user should confuse functions from different modules. For example: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03080102.html?DbPAR=BASIC#bm_id3154923 Nowhere is it said that this is a function of Basic, and a beginner may not even know that we note the functions of this module by the strange expression [Runtime]. But the user still understands what he reads about the Basic function. And I think that it would be more useful to specify explicitly: "A function Basic that calculates the cosine of an angle." Instead of no one understandable [Runtime]. > And please note that a change like this will trigger a set of > translation rework. Yes, we need to think about translation, and in this case it's 700+ lines. But we also need to think about how to take out a garbage in time. Otherwise, we will have only the garbage. PS: I added Jean-Francois Nifenecker to CC. May be he knows what means [Runtime]. Because for me it still looks like "Cos Function [👌]" Best regards, Lera -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
