Bug ID: 165849
Summary: Math equation editor: introduce control character,
that *decreases* space between characters
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In a formula, not all characters should have the same distance.
Currently, we can set a minimum space for the whole equation and create
variation by inserting "`" or "~" between entities.
In practice, only few characters in an equation will have the minimum distance,
e.g. "%DELTA T" --> "ΔT", while the majority of pairings need a somewhat bigger
distance. So we need a lot of distance characters to make it read-friendly,
which makes the code hard to read.
The suggestion is, to introduce a control character that reduce the spacing a
bit from the standard spacing, e.g. "´".
Another possible solution would be to introduce an editable list of characters,
like %delta %DELTA, for which a separate standard spacing to the following
entity can be defined, as to have a harmonious look and source good code
readability at the same time.
thx for your brillant work!
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write formula in writer math equation editor containing characters, that
should have different spacings between them.
Actual Results:
Have to find a compromise for standard spacing or work with small standard
spacing and a lot of space-*adding* control characters ( ` ~ ).
Expected Results:
Possibility to set a good standard spacing for most of the spaces and *reduce*
spacing for the few items, which need a smaller spacing.
Reproducible: Always
