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?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
