The problem is that StarMath was a home-brew approach based roughly on what was done for the TeX math expressions. I don't know about consistency of MathML. Coming back to how one handles such things as 2ab and coverb, there is an ambiguity when spaces needed to set of keywords are ignored and other cases where it looks like an intended space (as in "2 ab" versus "2ab"). My question: Does the AOO math editor allow techniques such as {2}{a}{b} and {c}over{b} as a way of making the separation of terms explicit and clear. Note that this is also important in distinguishing between {ab} and {a}{b} even though the results might be typographically indistinguishable. (The trick here is that {...} are used for syntactical grouping and do not introduce visible bracketings.) I would think this is necessary, in legible Math notation to have, for example, {a+b} over {factorial {n}} work (whatever the correct keywords are). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
