Priority: medium
Bug ID: 66284
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Non math text in a math region, i.e. "*" in a Word
docx not recognised by Libreoffice
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: NEW
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Component: Formula Editor
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 81588

Text in a math field that is removed in Libreoffice
For instance, importing the attached equation a^"*" from microsoft word docx,
(written in Libreoffice Formula editor as {a}^{"*"}) removes the quotation
marks on import leaving {a}^{*} which returns a broken equation error
immediately, because * is an operator.
The quotation marks, or "non math feature" is needed for importing docx
equations which happen to also be any of the Libreoffice operations, as is
stated in the Libreoffice math guide.
On re-exporting, the quotation marks / non math region is still missing which
leads to further errors down the line (e.g. re-importing an asterix breaks the
equation immediately as it is treated as an operator)
This is repeatable with quotation marks around anything in a Word docx. But,
creating a docx in libreoffice with quotations in an equation works fine.
In summary, it appears as though the non-math text feature of microsoft (which
you can access using quotation marks in either software) is ignored by
libreoffice, despite libreoffice having the equivalent feature of using
quotation marks
