--- Comment #13 from Sergey <csernt at gmail.com> ---
I have an idea how to solve the problem simply and with much greater effect:
allow users to use theys favorite EXTERNAL text editor to edit formula, i.e.
parameter "External math text editor path" in settings needed. It it empty -
LibreOffice Math runs, else the LibreOffice (or LibreOffice Math without GUI)
run this actions:

- create temp file XXXXX.eqn on trying to fornmula edit/create
- run external text editor with this file as parameter
- read file after editor closing and update formula object as it LibreOffice
Math does

It's AUTOMATICALY enables features on user side:

- pair brackets highlighting
- functions highlighting
- more simple editing (change variable name with multicaret editing or vim
commands, e.t.c.)
- snippets (not only for math constructions, may be used to natural greek
symbols writing - [a]+[Tab] -> α instead of %alpha - more simple reading)
- macroses to text editing in some special cases

It seems to be a great effect for easy implementation - don't you think so?
