<div dir="ltr">Esteemed readers!<div><br></div><div>I would propose to improve LibreOffice Math. I hope I will post this message to the right address. Please involve appropriate people who can solve these questions I submit here.</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>First proposal</b></div><div>When inserting equation in Writer - there could be possible to put text cursor directly between symbols I see in the show area. Then it would be more direct way to edit equation</div>
<div><br></div><div>When using code window bottom of screen then there is very hard to understand the syntax. For more advanced users it would be useful to have edit the code but for beginners not.</div><div><br></div><div>
This code editing window should definitely remain for advanced users but for beginners I would propose to allow edit equation directly at show area and this should be activated by default when starting to enter equation. I also included PNG-image LibreOffice-Math_direct-edit.png for better explanation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also moving with arrow keys, TAB-key and also mouse between different equation parts would be very appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Purpose is to dramatically increase equation entering efficiency, which currently is approximately 10 times slower than with MS Word Equation Editor.</div>
<div><br></div><div>People will never get rid of that code window, which is for advanced users and therefore should remain as is. Just some improvements for beginners would be very appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Second proposal</b></div>
<div>Please include DMaths with LibreOffice - <a href="http://www.dmaths.org/">http://www.dmaths.org/</a> - there is also English version.</div><div><br></div><div>This makes a lot easier to enter formulas and even stereometric figures into LibreOffice. This will make a lot easier especiall beginners life like math teachers who are struggling with LibreOffice Math currently.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would propose to include DMaths as default extension since 4.2 and as built-in since 4.3 of LibreOffice version.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Reasons</b></div><div>Main reason - for math teachers is current LibreOffice math quite useless. It takes too much time to enter equations, especially complex ones. But they need to enter a lot of equations every day. Currently LibreOffice takes much more time to enter compared with MS Word Equation Editor.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Behind me are millions of math teachers around the world who are expecting much better user experience with LibreOffice Math.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards and thank you in advance,</div>
