Bug ID: 101715
Summary: Support aligning equations on a specified character
(nominally by &)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bwech...@yahoo.com
One the beauties of LibreOffice is indeed it's use of LaTex math allowing for
rapid and easy work with math.
The newline is supported which rocks. But is useless until it also supports the
align* feature of the LaTex asmath module. Here's an example:
\begin{align*}
2x - 5y &= 8 \\
3x + 9y &= -12
\end{align*}
Which aligns where the & characters are.
Aligning a series of equations on an = sign is stock standard need in
mathematical expression and work arounds with phantom and/or matrices are
wholly inadequate.
phantom works well enough if the LHS is unchanging.
matrix works well enough if you have time to kill in formatting and finding the
right settings to space them right and are happy with ugly back code for your
equations anulling one of the beauties of the current LaTex style support.
