            Bug ID: 133156
           Summary: Improved help information needed for Calc Solvers
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha1+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

The Help system currently provides minimum information about Calc's Solvers.
See the file at
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/scalc/01/solver.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id7654652.

We should consider improving this aspect of the Help.

For example:
(1) Should it mention that the available Solver engines seem to be dependent on
whether you've enabled a JRE or not.
(2) The default engine isn't always a linear one (as stated in the last note of
the page).
(3) Could an example be included?
(4) Is the help page at scalc/01/solver_options.xhp accessible to a user? I
couldn't find any description on the Options dialog when I tried with the
current 7.0 help.
(5) Can we use anything from
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/nlpsolver/ to improve the help
pages?
