Long equation in MSO (wraps as expected)
A recurrent problem that I face when reading academic papers/theses using LO
Writer is that long equations do not wrap to the page width.
Very often I receive DOCX files to review and occasionally some equations will
be longer than the page width. In MSO these equations will wrap (see
attachment), so that if a equation is longer than the line, then it will use
multiple lines when rendered.
However in LO these equations do not wrap and they are rendered outside the
page, so they became impossible to read.
The same problem happens with inline equations (equations that are written in a
paragraph alongside text).
I know that this is a limitation of how LO Math works and fixing this is no
easy task. But if we would like to make LO a viable alternative in the academic
world (at least in areas where equations are used often as engineering and
mathematics), we need to provide better equation support and allow for
equations to flow with the paragraphs in Writer.
