[libreoffice-users] Possible improvement for review?
Folks, I am a happy user of LibreOffice, and I ran into a gotcha the other day. I was attempting to add my trademark claims to the footer of a document describing some inventions, and LO Writer assumed I was entering an e-mail address because my trademark included the '@' sign. I ended up making images of my TM in Inkscape and GIMP and inserting those, but it seems to me that a more general solution would be appropriate. People are GOING to make 'words' with special characters, as I did. This will become more common! My proposed solution is to add a character or char sequence to begin and end a block that is to have such 'helpful' interpretation turned off. Comments welcome, of course! -- Don -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
