Hello, LibreOffice Developers and Supporters!
I need to handle some fractions in Maths in LibreOffice Writer. The fractions
look like 1/2 or 10/40. I would like to make them look like:
1
－
2
(no superscript and no subscript)
There are some possible ways to do this. A _proper_ way is:
Insert -> Object -> Formula -> {<?>} over {<?>}
My imagination is like:
Autocorrect the text as object. When typing 5/6 (space), I get
5
－
6
which is an object.
(Ctrl + Z would return 5/6 (space))
My second imagination is like: Using Find & Replace to replace 7/8 as
7
－
8
I could get the object option in the Find & Replace dialog.
Find: */*
Replace: (format as object)
*
－
*
This could convert all the "horizontal" styles into the "vertical" styles.
My third imagination is like:
In LibreOffice Calc and in a formula in LibreOffice Writer,
I could have =7/8+1/8.
I could also have
７ １
＝－ +－
８ ８
(These are objects.)
where LibreOffice could perform the calculation and give me the result in
fraction.
This post below really led me to think that typing fractions could be a part of
the fundamental work a word processor should be able to do easily:

Is it possible to add the features? Am I simply too ambitious? Perhaps, the
features are ready but I am missing something, aren't I?
Best regards,
