In digital electronics I use the overbar all the time when writing on paper indicating negated logic. Unfortunately the overbar is not available in ascii for netlisting purposes, so programs do this their own way. For textual capture of netlists and high level code, we have to use fancy stuff like

In that case you could use the 'insert symbol' plugin to create a shortcut for inserting this unicode symbol. Regards, Jaap On Jun 29, 2015 5:53 PM, "Josh Taillon" wrote: > Yes, I had tried using that, but it is less than ideal given trying to > export to other formats. > > Your comment about t

Yes, I had tried using that, but it is less than ideal given trying to export to other formats. Your comment about the gtk decorations led me to another google search that found this post ( https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=58941). It appears in GTK applications, you can us

I know this won't help you much, but you can type "\oline;" without double quotes, in order to get the overline character alone... Marco Cevoli On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 4:15 PM, Josh Taillon wrote: > Thanks for the information. For reference, my use case is as a materials > scientist. We frequen

Ah, yes I should have known - but my classes material science were 10 years ago or so ... How about using the equation editor in this case? I'm assuming latex can render these things correctly. Although I can see that entering would be slower with the editor. Could think of some kind of shortcut

Thanks for the information. For reference, my use case is as a materials scientist. We frequently refer to directions within a crystal structure using Miller Indicies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_index). When a direction is negative, it is common practice to place a line over the top to in

Hi Josh, Afraid the Gtk toolkit does not provide an option to use overline text decoration. So will be very difficult to add in zim. Just as Marco I'm also curious to learn the use this text decoration has for you. Regards, Jaap On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 8:10 PM, Josh Taillon wrote: > Excuse m

Just out of curiosity, could you give a few examples when overlining a text is useful? I must admit, I've never seen it anywhere. I suppose it's used for scientific texts, am I wrong? TIA Marco Cevoli On Sat, Jun 20, 2015 at 5:25 AM, Josh Taillon wrote: > No, I can see how to do strikeout. I m

No, I can see how to do strikeout. I mean a line over the text, which is useful in certain situations. i.e. The opposite of underlining. On Fri, Jun 19, 2015, 23:18 wrote: > By overlining do you mean strikeout? > > On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 2:10 PM, Josh Taillon wrote: > >> Excuse me if this is

Excuse me if this is not the right place to ask a question such as this, but I was not sure where else to go for support. I was wondering if in zim, there was a simple way to have overlined text. I see that in the style.conf file, you can change the 'marking' command to underline. Is it possible t
