Re: [Zim-wiki] Text formatting in zim
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 indicate this. I suppose I will make do with the strikethrough. Thanks for the response. - Josh On Sun, Jun 28, 2015 at 2:55 PM Jaap Karssenberg jaap.karssenb...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Josh, Afraid the Gtk toolkit does not provide an option to use overline text decoration.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Text formatting in zim
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=7t=58941). It appears in GTK applications, you can use ctrl+shift+u and then type a unicode character to insert it on the fly. U+0305 is a combining overline mark, so by typing Ctrl+shift+u 0305 you can get it to go over the previous character. It doesn't look great over numbers, but at least it's unicode, rather than an image. I suppose this will suffice for now, because I can't think of a better way to do it.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Text formatting in zim
In that case you could use the 'insert symbol' plugin to create a shortcut for inserting this unicode symbol.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Text formatting in zim
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 reset_n, bRESET and so on when we actually mean RESET-with-a-line-over-it. When I was taught digital electronics in university we wrote whole lines of boolean expressions with bars over them. On paper, of course. With the help of overlines, de Morgans theorem becomes easy to remember: Split the line, change the sign. (With sign I mean OR or AND) We sometimes needed more than one overline, as two identical overlines are double negation. This usecase is probably never going to find support outside LaTex. -- Svenn ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
