Hi,
I am a maths teacher and I use Openoffice writer to type my lessons and
exam papers.
I am looking for a symbol to indicate the similarity between two
triangles. The symbol we use is three vertical lines. I have not been
able to find something like that amongst the existing fonts. Is it
possible to create a symbol like that ?
You can write so: "|||". Dont forget quotes. Result looks quite good, lines
are near to each other.

This example uses a symbol similar to the tilde"~".
