[libreoffice-documentation] Starmath syntax hightlight

[Rafael Lima]

Hi Dante!

Thank you for the initiative! Syntax highlighting is something I have
always wished to see in StarMath. I am myself a frequent user of StarMath,
so I can tell that this will be a great addition to the application.

The current Formula Editor does not provide a good experience, especially
when the formula gets very long. Also, it becomes hard to spot syntax
mistakes if there's no highlighting.

I'll pull and build your patch later today to see how it performs. Then
I'll try to provide some feedback from the user perspective. However, my
experience with the LibreOffice codebase is limited, so I can't help with
automated tests.

Regards,
Rafael Lima
